Robo calls in Mandarin
 
Anybody else getting robocalls in Mandarin? I am getting a couple a day leaving voicemails as I don't pick up. They come in on 800 and a variety of area codes. Chinese Robocalls Bombarding The U.S. Are Part Of An International Phone Scam : NPR

Yes if that what it was. I really couldn't understand it. It prompted me to use the Verizon call blocker on a trial basis and I only had one Robocall get thru in probably 10 days. The trial is over and I didn't continue the service and the calls have stopped. Too good to be true?? Standby.

What % of people speak Mandarin to make those calls worth it?

My husband got one, they actually left a message we didn't understand. We tracked the number, it's the number for the Chinese Embassy in Chicago! My husband's number is 507 area code. We figure somebody's spoofing the embassy and trying to scam Asians in the area. lol

Many people sign up for the do not call list.

Far fewer people report violation. When, you do file reports, very easy to do on line. The party can be fined.. I think I heard the fine was $100.
