Something was a little off about this spam call I received. Usually when I get a spam call, and like most Indians, I get several of them in a day, I can tell it’s a spam call. There’s a buzz of people in the background, the speaker typically has a particular script that is common across most spammers or scammers, and the person often sounds tired or hassled, probably because they’re dialling number after number, and reading out the same script. There’s something mechanical about how they speak.
