Spam calls are becoming more frequent, with millions of people reporting a rise in fraudulent and unsolicited calls. This surge has left many consumers frustrated and worried about their privacy and security. However, a voice artist recently pranked a spam caller offering “special credit card” offers, leaving the Internet in stitches.
Tanya Nambiar received a call from a bank promoting special credit card offers. Rather than declining outright, she decided to have some fun. Using voice modulation, Nambiar pranked the caller in the most unexpected way.
When the representative asked if she was interested in the offer, Nambiar turned the tables by asking if he was feeling lonely and looking for a friend. She then told him to press one if he wanted to chat with her. At this point, the confused caller pressed one, but after hearing more from Nambiar, he uttered a swear word and abruptly disconnected the call.
Sharing the viral video, the voice artist wrote, “Another day, another spam caller.”
Watch here:
With nearly six million views, the video triggered hilarious reactions. One user commented, “This is so damn funny!!! Her twitching brows had my dieing.” Another user wrote, “You should probably do a series on spam calls…. Remove DND. seriously it would be a hit.”
“Noted, gonna try this so many insurance calls these days, it’s like they’re trying to save my life!” a third user reacted. “I choked laughing. This is hilarious,” another user said.
Recently, popular influencer-actor Ankush Bahuguna shared disturbing details of spending 40 hours under “digital arrest,” falling victim to a scam call. In a lengthy video, Bahuguna shared that the ordeal affected his mental health and that he lost money. The scammers isolated him from his friends and family and coerced him into making suspicious bank transactions.
