How To Block Loan Apps From Calling Your Contacts |
Step 1: Operation Block and Delete
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.![]()
- First things first: Dive into your phone's settings and find that treacherous app.
- Channel your inner ninja: With the fury of a thousand suns, revoke all its permissions, especially access to your contacts.
- Make it disappear: Uninstall that app faster than you can say "dodgy interest rates."
Step 2: Protect Your Squad (From Loan App Embarrassment)
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.![]()
- Here's the golden rule: Never, ever share your contact list with loan apps. It's like inviting them to your family reunion - awkwardness guaranteed.
- Pro Tip: If you've already shared your contacts, some phones allow you to revoke access directly from the app's settings.
Step 3: Embrace the Inner Comedian (Optional, But Highly Recommended)
- If the loan app folks decide to get frisky and call your contacts anyway, be prepared to laugh!
- Answer the call with a dramatic flair: "Hello, this is the Ghost of Loans Past! You've reached the wrong number, my friend."
- Play it cool: "Oh, hey there! Just returning a call from a Nigerian prince offering me millions. Must have gotten the wrong number."
Remember: Laughter is the best medicine, especially when dealing with loan app shenanigans.
Disclaimer: While humor is encouraged, it's important to report any harassment from loan apps to the authorities.
Stay safe, stay funny, and stay loan app-free!
