Welcome to impossible India where maintaining roads is impossible, building footpaths is impossible, having sincere govt employees is impossible, paying people a livable wage is impossible, following road rules is impossible, properly disposing waste is impossible, breathing in clean air is impossible, having clean rivers is impossible. The list is long and quite frankly shameful and depressing.
Population control is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE!.. every minute and second we are busy with Shadhi, first night, baby making, divorce.. Repeat process. Such busy citizens where else in the world we can find? doing only such nonsense activities despite fully knowing the problems of growing population adding more mouths to feed and selfishly causing strain on the countries resources. 😒
Govt.’s funda is simple…we aren’t responsible for job creation u do whatever u can however u can, whatever works give us our share so u can continue…tum bhi khush hum bhi khush…!
@@mastmalakpet not Pakistan, but USA... as people are already doing... Instead making yourself feel good looking down on Pakistan you should learn from better countries and not run fron the issues but accept them. That's the first step of resolving any issue.
Aadhaar was a scam itself. If the Govt suddenly gets up one day and says its not an identity proof nor is it residential proof then why did we get it in the first place?
i stopped using credit cards and raised a RBI Ombudsman to file a complaint against a bank that had called 5 times in a day... after that in a week the calls have stopped.
Just ban selling bulk sims and make 2 sims per Aadhar the limit and 1 year lockin time before you can get new number and also block all sims that are reported 100 times spam, in less then 2 months all spam calls will drop to zero, no one will have guts to use private numbers as spam calling numers. Leadership in this country is very poor, this guy is going on about how fake scammers are outside India but I only get calls from inside of India.
Private banks don't do that. That work is outsourced to agencies and call centres. The same call center mis-uses your information to spam and scam you in the night using your data.
The solution he is proposing is impractical because it focuses on individual cases rather than addressing the problem at a systemic level. We need a country-wide solution that benefits everyone, ensuring the issue is resolved country level, rather than just identifying specific instances like whether a call is spam or not..
I have blocked all spam calls since 3 years and I don't pick calls from unknown number. Simple. If they really want to reach you. They will whatsapp or msg.
Why is it mandatory to give out your phone number on every damn shop you go to? They even refuse to sell if you don't give ur number... Some shops even send otps to check if the number is verified. There lies part of the problem...
Basically, linking phone numbers to financial transactions where bank accounts are exposed to the public domain should be avoided totally. Major spam calls, messages, etc.. are for committing financial cyber crimes.
I think we need to make a distinction between spam and scam calls, if the spam calls by banks and credit card companies are banned no one will entertain a scam call as well
Because if you go buy anything be it a mall or a retail shop they ask your number. We need strict data protection law in India and all these companies who are collecting data solid be penalised heavily.
Giving your number is your independent choice. Just refuse to give your number & most shops will still let you make the purchase. If they dont just go to some other shop.

This "expert" is living in the cretaceous. The problem is not of jurisdiction. The problem is of privacy laws and KYC laws and enforcement. For instance, if an aadhar that is linked to a confirmed spam complaint is blacklisted, the problem can be minimized. Secondly, AI is being used by many operators to warn users about spam calls and this is working well not sure why this man is saying this is confusing users no one is confused the spam call identificationworks nearly 100 pc of the time. VoIP calls are only a small part of the issue..most spam calls are emerging from India itself. Lastly, institutions whose products are sold by spammers and/or robocalls should be penalized heavily and not allowed network access for a period of time. PS: Uncle has not heard of VPN in case of internet.
the guest on the show is in all probability a paid propagandist for the ruling party, hence the line taken is: calls emanating from outside country. fact is all these 4th fail types won't be able to do much, except for bossing around like local dadas.
There's also another problem with what he says - it's not like the location of the caller can't be seen. In many cases they brazenly make calls from abroad which can be, with the help of apps like Truecaller, also be detected. 1 thing can be done though: such apps can come in built with new phones instead of useless apps like games
You are talking a lot with surface level understanding and assuming that he doesn't know about anything. 1, He's literally talking about blacklisting as you suggest. 2. AI tools and carrier level or software level filtering isn't the domain of the government. This doesn't work for feature phones. Government looks at it at infrastructure level on how to protect everyone. 3. How do YOU know that the calls are not routed internationally? He literally explained how the calls that appear to be domestic are actually routed out and back in with spoofed origins. 4. If you punish the products, it becomes an easy way to abuse the system. Just tell marketers to promote the competiors. 5. WTF is the relevance of VPN? The services in the internet always assume that you're a possible hacker, unlike the telephone network, which will trust whatever users tell it. That was his point.
It is not the common man's responsibility to stop spam calls. It is the govt and people providing mobile phone service. If the spam caller is from India and makes more than lets say 50 spam calls a month, they should flag the person as as spammer.
It is possible to solve this problem sir. We need a phone app that gives us an option to reject all calls where the caller is not in my contact list. People not in my list have to first send me a message identifying themselves and their purpose. Only then they will be part of my contact list. I am not sure why no one creates such an app!! No one with better common sense!!
Yes, Bilkul.. only words I heard him say confidently is "SEE" 👀 "LOOK". This guy clearly has no practical industry or technical knowledge like most of the government babus or typical senior's / uncle log.
@brpawankumariyengar4227 “For all those [...] shutting down spam.” ===================== What is the definition of an ‘Unknown Number’? Is it a phone call in which the caller's phone number is not revealed on the receiver's phone device? OR Is it a phone number that the receiver has not saved/stored in his/her phone device?
@ good point but at that time, I am actively looking at my phone, so I can pickup. Besides, I use OLA // Uber very rarely please …. At max once a month ☺️
All the unknown calls can be blocked in Samsung and iphones. Most of the time all the unknown calls are not relevant until unless you are expecting any calls from delivery partners, job providers etc..
Now a days all spam calls from Indian SIM card only, nothing from international SIM. It show the spammers are dare, because no action taken so far on them.
Really ?? Then imagine what would happen if a fake janeudhari, Hindu-hating, perpetually stoned clown prince and darling of the seculars was handed over reins of this country.
I tried registering for Do not disturb feature with companies. Spam calls dint reduce much. Bajaj Finserv, HDFC, some real estate companies are constantly calling. Minimum of 3-4 calls per day. It used to be 5-6 calls before DND. As Parag sir told, it cant be stopped.
They're coming from 140 numbers. Why is it hard to block 140? They are almost entirely "loan" calls. Some people have so much money that they are living loans only. Most people don't have money. This is the reality of India's progress
140 numbers are registered with TRAI. If you report them, the company that has registered the number will be fined and more than 3 instances they will be banned. Problem is with mobile numbers that are not registered with anyone
redmi os allows u to block prefix/ series like 140* , 80* , etc. true caller have feature to block international numbers automatically . this helps a lot.
@apnabini “True caller” ==================== If you have True Caller installed in your cell phone device, True Caller actually COPIES all the phone numbers (and their respective persons' names) that are stored in your cell phone device.
If this was in Australia consumer can sue the telecom operators as well as the company who is calling OPT IN and OPT OUT for any marketing call messages etc A circular need to be sent to these telecom operators.
Parag is going round and round. It is simple - if you believe in Aadhar based KYC, then how can you spoof documents? Still if you can spam/fraud calls from domestic numbers, then get hold of the person behind that Aadhar and check their call logs from the provider. If he didn't do those calls it is okay, but 99% spam calls in India are done from domestic numbers, without spoofing
I am confused why it's not possible to simply block any call originating from outside India but with a caller ID of an Indian number. Can't TRAI simply make that a rule? Then you only have the domestic problem.
way to control: silence all the calls from unknown numbers. encourage people to use voice mails or drop sms or whatsapp message. so if a genuine call remain unanswered, by seeing transcript of voice mail, call back can be made.
@vipinpnair “way to control [...] back can be made.” ====================== Voice-mail is hardly used in India, UNFORTUNATELY. In fact, most of the people in India fo not even know what voice-mail is.
The solution is simple. Mobile phone makers should be required to include Spam options for incoming calls. This should be passed on to the carriers to block the numbers after verification. Why would carriers kill a revenue stream?
The Government is doing a lot to make people aware....what is needed is releasing information on what has been done against individual spam callers...the numbers blocked the people penalised. If this list is small, then not enough is being done. Naming and shaming is the only way. The matter will only be settled after a SC judgement. Meanwhile unknown numbers can be msgd 'pls txt' and intelligent use of DND reporting.
The spammer will disconnect the moment you demand they speak in ENGLISH --- Thanks to this, I get 1 new spam number call every 2 weeks after blocking the previous spam numbers.
I thank apple for showing me suspected spam under calls. Soon we will turn into uk where when it comes to call etiquette, you can’t reach anyone by call, only email or maybe a chat can work
Sometimes a personal loan call is not actually for the personal loan. The caller will identify him/her as a bank representative and promise you to give the loan even if your cibil score is lower and even if you don't have enough income to get such amount of loan. Infact the caller is merely an insurance agent. he/she will get your details and promise that they can give the loan against the insurance bond. So first you have to buy the insurance by paying the first year's due( even the agent will ask you to not disclose to the insurance company that this insurance is for loan purposes). Once you take the insurance policy, they will never contact you again.
Yes, to keep out of spam I don't answer unknown call. But sometimes people known to us call from other numbers due to some reason, I miss them. And these courier delivery man call and for me it's a unknown number. I have been telling their customers service to provide me the phone number of the delivery boy before delivery, but it doesn't happen. Speed post no problem.
He thinks he is explaining but he is not. At least a common man cannot understand his language. Currently, I am in the UK and use both Indian as well UK number. I use Indian number for my Indian bank transactions. I never get any spam calls on my UK number while I get at least 25-30 calls everyday on my Indian number.
Because our great government is too ignorant about the issue I guess. No real spending on advertisement or educating the users I think. The issue has to be taken with utmost seriousness like these people did in late 90s to educate about polio! But no-one has raised the issue in discussions. Otherwise someday, lives will be lost due to digital arrests.
@mrfighter00 “Because our great [...] to digital arrests.” ======================== The government run by the greatestestestest 56-inch chestman is not ignorant; it knows these things, but it is NOT bothered about it.
Its murual understaing between spammers and depa. We can't do anything. If depa.. wants to save the public they can do it in no time. But they don't. They supply the SIM card. Monitoring is so easy and so as blocking. But they don't. Its corporate. Every depa... sharing customer data to the spammers.
When a person try to potrey things more with his hands gesture than his words, be sure that either he has very superficial knowledge of the topic or he himself know whatever he is trying to convey/ convince is not suffice and very much illogical.
Contradictory statement by Mr Parag! Mobile phone calls 50 yrs back did not require authentication as the operators were trusted back then. Now, “in case of mobile phone authenticity of the user is not verified“ Does that mean the operators are not trustworthy anymore or there is a bigger nexus within the system, within the national jurisdiction? I know that this menace is unique to 🇮🇳 contrary to what is claimed here!
I like Airtel initiative to label call and sms as suspected spam though not full solution but extreme help as now I don’t respond any of such call don’t know others are also doing it
Actually politicians and police themselves are involved with the scammers. Otherwise stopping these scammers is easy. Also one way to reduce spamming is restrict outgoing calls to around 100 outgoing calls per day which is far more than enough for 99 pc normal users. If person needs more then they can specially apply for it by submitting special kyc. Also if multiple complaints are recd against the same mobile then there should be rapid task force to take action Sharing location information may not be liked by many users
You want a Simple and effective solution? Phone numbers are already linked to aadhar card right? Implement one simple rule. If your phone number gets reported as Spam or Scam by a 100 people? Then your sim will get blocked and you will no longer be able to get new sim card under your aadhar card.
I do not agree that technology cannot control spam call Anyone in the world and India all operators have full information of customer and when customer connect to some one, his/her information can also be sent to receiver while operating call by any operator in the world just in same way as sending numerical information.
If "illiterate "CEO of the country develops a fad for technology thats what happens !its like the myth in Mahabharata where Abhimanyu knew how to enter "padma vyooh" but did not know how to get out@
Somebody is putting my name and number on Facebook and Instagram ads for property, cars, holiday booking every alternate day. How to catch the offender?

“For all those [...] shutting down spam.”
=====================
What is the definition of an ‘Unknown Number’?
Is it a phone call in which the caller's phone number is not revealed on the receiver's phone device?
OR
Is it a phone number that the receiver has not saved/stored in his/her phone device?
Don't you miss delivery uber calls then

Lack of accountable and effective government yields such conditions.

Spam Call is Increasing Day by Day the Nuisance is increasing so Much
I am confused why it's not possible to simply block any call originating from outside India but with a caller ID of an Indian number. Can't TRAI simply make that a rule? Then you only have the domestic problem.
Every very mobile number is taken, shopping centers, billing counter, residential complexes,
It's bank, and having a mobile number in Adhaar is responsible for scam calls.

I use Indian number for my Indian bank transactions. I never get any spam calls on my UK number while I get at least 25-30 calls everyday on my Indian number.
So, if it can be controlled in other countries same can be done in India as well if govt wants to.
Because our great government is too ignorant about the issue I guess. No real spending on advertisement or educating the users I think. The issue has to be taken with utmost seriousness like these people did in late 90s to educate about polio! But no-one has raised the issue in discussions.
Otherwise someday, lives will be lost due to digital arrests.

“Because our great [...] to digital arrests.”
========================
The government run by the greatestestestest 56-inch chestman is not ignorant; it knows these things, but it is NOT bothered about it.
Even if the call is international, the bank account on which the money gets transferred is local and gov should have control on it.
Many criminals use bank account of poor people.
Its murual understaing between spammers and depa.
We can't do anything.
If depa.. wants to save the public they can do it in no time. But they don't.
They supply the SIM card. Monitoring is so easy and so as blocking. But they don't.
Its corporate.
Every depa... sharing customer data to the spammers.
When a person try to potrey things more with his hands gesture than his words, be sure that either he has very superficial knowledge of the topic or he himself know whatever he is trying to convey/ convince is not suffice and very much illogical.
Contradictory statement by Mr Parag! Mobile phone calls 50 yrs back did not require authentication as the operators were trusted back then. Now, “in case of mobile phone authenticity of the user is not verified“ Does that mean the operators are not trustworthy anymore or there is a bigger nexus within the system, within the national jurisdiction? I know that this menace is unique to 🇮🇳 contrary to what is claimed here!
True Caller - Premium works for me.
99% Spam Calls Avoided.
No govt will to stop it - it’s not difficult
I like Airtel initiative to label call and sms as suspected spam though not full solution but extreme help as now I don’t respond any of such call don’t know others are also doing it
Actually politicians and police themselves are involved with the scammers. Otherwise stopping these scammers is easy. Also one way to reduce spamming is restrict outgoing calls to around 100 outgoing calls per day which is far more than enough for 99 pc normal users.
If person needs more then they can specially apply for it by submitting special kyc.
Also if multiple complaints are recd against the same mobile then there should be rapid task force to take action
Sharing location information may not be liked by many users
Why can't we link phone numbers with aadhar card and only allow 1 SIM from one Telco per Aadhaar??? That would solve most of the issues
Free incoming should be only for saved numbers. Rest all should be highly paid
What has Bajaj Finance and Finserv got to do with Geopolitics?
For normal users lot of kyc n all, for spammers they sell numbers in bulk without kyc n all.. same shit with upi n banking
Why does it happen only in India ?
Because people in India don't have jobs 😢
For me it's reduced to 1 call per week from 4-5 per day
Pay for Truecaller and block these mofos
Whether true caller leaks data to unauthorized people also who do spoofing
You want a Simple and effective solution? Phone numbers are already linked to aadhar card right? Implement one simple rule. If your phone number gets reported as Spam or Scam by a 100 people? Then your sim will get blocked and you will no longer be able to get new sim card under your aadhar card.
Very useful video
Need new Rule like EU for Internet Privacy.
I do not agree that technology cannot control spam call
Anyone in the world and India all operators have full information of customer and when customer connect to some one, his/her information can also be sent to receiver while operating call by any operator in the world just in same way as sending numerical information.
I have a better solution, 1 entity 1 number for calling as to identify it's authenticity which is controlled and restricted.
If "illiterate "CEO of the country develops a fad for technology thats what happens !its like the myth in Mahabharata where Abhimanyu knew how to enter "padma vyooh" but did not know how to get out@
All the spam/scam calls that I get have "Make in India" stamp.
Not impossible, just switch off the phone😅.
But apart from the joke, you can block all the spam by Block every call except the phonebook number.
How telecom companies verify user before sharing new sims
Somebody is putting my name and number on Facebook and Instagram ads for property, cars, holiday booking every alternate day. How to catch the offender?
We can't control government departments not to send spam calls or maseages to public sir ex.I.T ,POSTAL departments messages and emails as spam calls sir
