MsSoCalCruiser Posted June 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I have the Princess phone number in my phone with a special ringtone. I received a call from that number and the person asked for someone not in my household. I told the person that there was no one here by that name and they hung up on me. That is not how I am used to being treated by an employee of Princess Cruises. Am I wrong for wanting to report this call? So rude. Thanks for listening. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 cruises a year Posted June 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Actually it sounds like a phishing phone call to me. They can make their calls come from any number that they like. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsSoCalCruiser Posted June 22, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Ok, I let it go. It felt good to vent because it really ticked me off. I feel better now, and I’m ready to book another cruise. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an app called RoboKiller on my phone. It screens out all phishing and junk phone calls, but shows the number that was called from. It's amazing how many of them are from seemingly regular phone numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are times I "have" to answer the phone when I am expecting a return call. If I don't answer every incoming call and I miss the one that I need, then it would be another 2 hours waiting on hold to have them call me back again. I was on hold yesterday for about 30 minutes. Reached someone who told me she needed to check with person 2 and that person 2 would return my call within 24 hours. Hasn't happened yet and don't expect it to happen..so back to calling them again tomorrow. In the meantime, I "answered" 4 calls. One was sort of legit...fund raiser with a live person. Other 3 were robo calls I have tried turning on google voice screen calls. I just couldn't get the hang of it. It did work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since a lot of calls from telemarketers, they dial multiple numbers at once & only connect to the first person that answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about RoboKiller is that the phone doesn't even ring when the app indicates it's a spam call. I get a notice of a spam call in my Recent Calls section, but otherwise its as if the call never happened. It allows calls from numbers in my contact list to go through as well as return calls where I've dialed a number first. I'm very pleased with the service.

Abercrombie2019 Posted June 23, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Our caller ID will display "Likely Fraud" or "Likely Spam". Every so often, when I'm expecting a call that I'm paranoid that I will miss, I answer anyway. It has always been spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very likely the case in this situation...happens all the time. Is it considerate? Heck no...but that's just the way their system is set up. It's likely not the actual person hanging up on you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted June 23, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 23, 2023 If I don’t know the number I might answer it but won’t speak. If it’s a genuine person calling you directly they’ll speak. If it’s an auto call trying random numbers it’ll hang up. Often they only connect when the person called starts to talk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
