99% of all the calls I get are from marketers or even worse, robot marketers. Everyone who actually knows me and talks to me regularly knows better to use other channels.

I get a ton of calls in what I assume is Mandarin (maybe Cantonese?) and I have no clue why. My best guess is non-targeted spam or extortion attempts.

I had a chinese coworker listen and translate one. They're spam. If you speak a specific language and get a call like that, you'll probably assume its actually for you. Or at least your more likely to think that.
