1

Forward suspicious calls

Route spam callers to your Please Hold number using call forwarding.

2

AI engages politely

Our AI answers and begins a very thorough, very slow conversation.

3

You stay uninterrupted

Scammers stay busy while you enjoy a spam-free existence.

"No yelling. No pranks. Just endless clarification."
What It Does

Weaponized politeness

Our AI has mastered the art of being helpful without actually helping. Think of it as customer service, but for scammers.

  • Politely asks for clarification "I'm sorry, could you spell that one more time?"
  • Writes things down very slowly "Let me just get a pen... okay, go ahead."
  • Mishears details just enough "Did you say 'Microsoft' or 'micro soft'?"
  • Defers decisions indefinitely "I should probably check with my spouse first..."
  • Never agrees to anything "That sounds interesting, but I have some questions..."

"It's not rude. It's just... thorough."

Hmm, I have a few. Could you give me a moment to find my paperwork?
