Don't tell the call spammers this or they'll train all their "agents" to start phone calls with "what's up, bro" or something they think is the stereotypical opposite of formal.

"Good morning, am i speaking with Mr. xxx" is how most formal stuff happens with me in the US.

  • it's a huge red flag for me if I hear that without an origin.

    "Am I speaking with X? This is Y from Z Corp." is okay.

    "Am I speaking with X?..." is a spammer, a complaint, or someone trying to serve me papers.
