In a modern-day communication, you probably get several calls each week with an unknown number displayed on the caller ID. Most often than not, they are all spam calls. And, they are genuinely annoying.??
But one person seems to have the perfect solution to the problem. Roy Baker has taken the matters in his own hands and has found a brilliant way of?getting rid of annoying scam phone callers, after convincing a con artist that he was with the?Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).?
In a viral video, posted by?TikTok?user?@1roy_jr?and captioned ¡°CIA Fraud Division Coming to a dial tone near you¡±, Baker showed how he deals with nuisance calls.??
Baker can be seen telling the scammers: "Hello. Thank you for calling the CIA. You've reached our Scam and Fraud Division. All our agents are currently assisting other callers. To further assist you, please hold while we download your incoming and outgoing call logs to be analyzed against our database of known scam and fraud operations. An agent will be with you shortly."??
Unsurprisingly, the caller seems taken aback and swiftly hung up the phone.?
In just two days, the TikTok video has gained over seven million views and one million likes. "CIA Fraud Division coming to a dial tone near you," he captioned the clip.??
The clip has also been picked up by various YouTube channels and media outlets.??
Many users on YouTube were impressed by Baker's unique way of dealing with spam calls?with many commentators asking for a downloadable version they can use, too.
"This is pure genius dang it. I wish I had his deep voice it sounds so official," one user commented.? ?
"That voice. No wonder spam callers hang up as soon as he¡¯s done talking," another commented.?
Another said, "His voice is made of liquid gold."??
