While appreciate the possible loss of income due to my refusal to attend to those calls, I still prefer to ignore them.

Reasons for this as follows:
1.) The person on the other end will 9 out of 10 times have no intention to make use of your service and often would be based in another province completely. This person is nearly always a troll and has no regard for my
Schedule or responsibilities

2)Often these calls has on the other end of the line a frustrated and verbally abusive user

3)These callers are thieves of time. They have no understanding of it's limits or value

4)These callers in their inability to appreciate the value of time, will call repeatedly at the most inconvenient time and true to their mindless approach will also rob you of sleep habitually

5) These callers will most often have nothing of value or
mutual interest to discuss

6)These callers have nothing to offer on any plane of existence, be it compassion, friendship or useful feedback.

While I can and due understand the dilemma of paranoia and the very slight risk in calling someone one does not know without the protection of
A cloaked contact number, I have reached the sad conclusion that humanity will abuse when that option is available.

The cons far outweigh the pros in the matter of choice to answer these ghost personas

And
7) If it's not what you've already mentioned, it's telemarketers trying to sell you insurance you don't need. 99% of the time they don't leave a messages anyway.

A tough one
I don't live in SA, but travel home often.
I don't like using my cell as I really don't want a WG calling me or sending out promo SMS's
I normally call from a land line at the hotel I am staying at.
I always give my room number and hotel's number for the WG to call back. (Quit often number shows private)
I do understand most guys probably confirm or arrival for bookings when using private numbers, but then I would suggest you only confirm a booking once you have a contact number. I must also say I like to speak to the ladies before I commit to a booking.

@tom1975 :You are sadly a legit potential and valued client I have lostt access to due to my newly adopted standardised telephonic auto reject policy.
It grieves me greatly.

Email? Hotmail or Gmail, something that's easy to hide behind and easier to create.

I am very open to solutions to this dilemma colleagues and myself have to deal with continously.

To just hang up or repeatedly have to explain my position completely destroys my preffered state of inner harmony.

@ Bbw Nadia Blows

Thank you. I can't imagine that there is anyone in this profession that does not suffer the same abuse.

We are united by this particular manner of suffering.
