Too many calls by hdfc credit cards section

I pay 529 yearly to Truecaller for these banks. ICICI, HDFC,Paisabazar made my life hell by calling morning, evening, night .
Then I decided to go Truecaller premium, I blocked the total series of their promotional number.

In addition, I have disabled 90% of the app's notification. I receive Only 1-2 notification everyday now, zero junk/spam calls. I have also unsubscribed from promotional emails as much as possible except Yono SBI (they just don't stop spamming).
Now, I am living happily. In this digital era mental peace is very important

You can can do almost whatever you want to, except for the above..

If you report their number, they may report your number as spam and the telecom provider will deactivate your number immediately..and the onus is on you to prove that you are not spam..
This was what I read somewhere in the forum a few days back..and it was a lot of trouble

The thing you can do safely is Block. 🚫

I have truecaller and it identifies as spam , as soon as it stops ringing, i hit block button..this way I cut down 95% of spam calls

They won't know if we report them plus in that similar thread of number block, another guy also mentioned how he got his number back from tribunal (if i remember correctly will have to search the thread)
Your suggestion is similar to stopping use of upi just because there is a risk of cyber crime freeze on your account.
Crime should be reported whether big or small.

Banks can't do much as Telemarketers get data from leaked sources. As data flow and people themselves share their data here and there for meagre cashbacks and other promotional things, nothing much can be done.

Like I have never received spammed calls in life. Hard to believe but true but my father and brother keep getting it and I know the reason as they think they can share their number on paisabazaar and then don't expect them to call in name of HDFC/SBI etc etc. banks.

I have restricted access of my email ID and mobile number specifically for banks only. For other purposes second sim is there but that too is managed in such a way that spammers don't get it.

People mostly share their data unknowingly with Third Party Agreegators. That's why I always urge to have direct contact with the entity rather than using a TPA app or portal.
