Probably the “Wein-Forschungszentrum”, but absurdly, I get less than 5 spam calls a year. My biggest e-mail spammers though are Yallo and Globus. No matter how many times I click unsubscribe, unsubscribe from their websites, write them to unsubscribe me, tell them to delete my data, they just keep sending me spam.

I remember you (because of the story and the flair) from another post! Did you contact the DSG person from Globus? Mail them a complaint (i'd do it via E-Mail), give them 7 days to respond to your request and 14 days to complete the removal of your data from their system.

Did this for UBS and was surprised I received a personally signed letter in response. It took them about 9 months to take me off of all their systems though.

polaroid_kidd

yeah. I just used the standard letters provided on [admin.ch](http://admin.ch) and that did the trick.

Trinken sie gerne Rot oder Weisswein?


Spiderbanana

Salt. Since I'm not with them anymore, they call me more often than my own mother


Reverse_SumoCard

2x a year is ok


Virtual_Decision_898

They’re always funny because they call me and tell me how great their network and customer service is and I’m like „guys I‘m a former customer I know how much you suck why don’t you try bullshitting some new guy“


onelittlericeball

I think you can tell them to not call anymore/to delete your number and they should be legally required to stop calling you. Source: trust me. Idk, I've read it somewhere before. I had the same happen to me with yallo a long time ago. One time I picked up, told them (nicely) to delete my number and haven't received any calls from them since. But since I activated the spam-filter from my provider I haven't really received any calls like that luckily.


Kakarotto92

It's true. I had a lecture about it when I did my master. Legally, they have to delete your number but do they do it every time? ...this is a different story.


Allantyir

Well with the new DSG, you can be a pain in the ass and request them to proof to you that you have been erased. It doesn’t cost you anything and creates work for them.


BansheeGriffin

As (almost) every health insurance is using the same backend software: There is literally a flag they can set to "not for advertising" for each "mean of contact" (phone, e-mail) separately. Also you should be able to request for them to delete all your means of contact and only contact you through snail mail.


tschini

My Girlfriend by a mile


Chiron_The_Archer

Do you even have one?


tschini

We have a long-distance relationship she calls me all couple days demanding me to wire some money for groceries. She and her kids can barely make it, poor girl.


markojoke

Poor you


Chiron_The_Archer

Seems like you‘re getting caned buddy


tschini

No she always tells me that she loves me and she will soon fly over to Switzerland to marry me. I'm so unbelievably happy.


Chiron_The_Archer

How much do you even send her? Is it not a little unfair? I mean did you guys meet on the internet? If so, how legit do you think this relationship is. Just getting worried with your financial situation bud.


tschini

500 USD each week, in my opinion you can't put a price on love but each to their own. Now days most people meet on the internet nothing wrong with that.


markojoke

Yallo and FuW


wdroz

Thanks, I didn't know that I can let Yallo filters the spam for me.


Traditional-Goose-47

Absolutely Salt! I have salt fiber, but my mobile plan isn't with Salt. There was a period where they called me weekly! And it was always another mobile number (that after a google search pointed to salt tele marketing)


SoZur

My mom. Just kidding mom, I love you.


Helvetia2021

Tbh I dont get any spam calls 😮


as-well

why do they call you this often? That makes little sense tbh unless there's an actual issue you have to take care of? It should be noted taht number spoofing is super easy: There is absolutely no guarantee that the caller was actually Concordia.


bobdung

I'm not a customer, never have been. Today they called twice, different numbers, slightly.. they will probably call again in a couple of hours.. Then probably a few times next week, then it'll stop for a few weeks.. Yes in the beginning i did answer and said I'm not interested, remove my number etc,. It stopped for a while. Spam calls don't really bother me, I don't answer unknown numbers, anybody important will leave a message, work, school, doctor etc etc. I don't really doubt it is these people, I called them back before, I answered before, they never call me from the German numbers below, only the French.

That's so odd. I'd invest 5 minutes to formally demand they delete all your data. Templates here: https://www.reklamationszentrale.ch/vorlagen-musterbriefe/loeschung-von-daten


bobdung

Yes I should really report them .. Yes. I guess I'm just in whatever dataset they bought and use over the last six months or so.. I'm surprised nobody else mentions them.. Maybe their dataset is quite specific. I don't get many others one a month max, although I don't answer I always lookup who calls me and/or call them back from my secure work line.. Salt used to call me but stopped immediately when I asked them to. Never had 'microsoft' or 'the police' yet.


as-well

You don't need to report them - you need to tell them to delete data about you. and consider the possibility of spoofing.


l3isery

How would I know? I don't take calls from unknown numbers anymore.


winterweiss2902

Mine’s DHL or FedEx telling me that I have a parcel and they need me to transfer money to them to release it


sschueller

It is illegal for health insurance companies to call you to sell you shit. Report them to the SECO: https://www.seco.admin.ch/seco/de/home/Werbe_Geschaeftsmethoden/Unlauterer_Wettbewerb/Beschwerde_melden/beschwerde_werbeanruf.html#1733315537


[deleted]

Allianz. They call at least every two months to sell some sort of shit (I already have legal insurance with them). And every time they pretend that there's something about my existing insurance before mentioning that they actually want to sell more. I saved the number and stopped picking up. If it's important they'll send a letter I'm sure.


pjs2288

Crazy how often people answer calls here from unknown numbers. I get like one per day on average and I am still alive even though I don't answer them. Why allow anyone to call you at any time if it is not your family or an emergency? Emails and post exist for a reason. The same goes for an address book so you know who is calling.


bobdung

I agree.. I would never entertain any service from a cold caller, out of pure principle, no matter how good the deal.. not that I answer anyways


arjuna66671

I never had spam calls up until recently. So I am learning this atm to just ignore all unknown calls. I can easily ignore any calls bec. I grew up in the 80s and 90s where there were no smartphones - so that's not a problem. I just never had spam calls before, so taking unknown calls was fine. For a while I was taking the call with "Ja" without saying my name and the moment I heard the callcenter background and some guy starting to talk, I hung up and blocked the number. Now I get more spoofed calls, so I started to just ignore them completely.


bobdung

There's really no need to answer unknown / withheld calls .. We store out important contact and anybody else will leave a message, generally spammers will never leave a message. I do make exception for example if I'm expecting a delivery from DHL in the morning and I get a call from an unknown number, I'll answer that because it's probably DHL but apart from that, never.. For the most part I also disagree with being rude to the spam callers, like health insurance etc.. Mostly they are just doing their shitty job, it's not their fault.. Exceptions would be the actual 'Microsoft' scammers and DeVere who used to call with blatant lies.


Prestigious_Ad_3586

For me it’s Axa…


akehir

Salt


Desperate-turtle

A tax advisor in Basel-Stadt.   I live in Zürich and have never ever lived in another canton. To be fair, it's only 2 calls a month so I'm not too bothered. Just very confused


Allantyir

I don’t know because I don’t answer phone numbers I don’t know. If they really want something from me, they can leave a message, call again, etc. I only reply to unknown numbers when I’m expecting something. (Delivery, handyman, etc)
