Odd and Abusive Callers After Purchases, Aggressive App Usage Restrictions and Account Created on Purchase
There are multiple concerns with this corporation that I've encountered. Firstly, whenever I've made purchases from them, I've had mysterious calls from unrecognised and unusual sources. While I have no direct evidence indicating they've definitely been selling information to telemarketing companies and other degenerates, every call I've received from them have occurred within days or weeks of purchase. For example, days after my first purchase in August 2024, I received a call from an English Man who pretended to be calling about someone else. When I prompted him who he was calling for, he blatantly lied, saying the first name he could think of in a very snide way. Clarifying, I never sign up with marketing with anyone, don't use smart tech of any description, don't use social media and make minimal purchases online. I generally avoid creating accounts with anyone. Every call coincides directly with a purchase from DJI. Then, as if by magic, I received a call maybe two days later from a Chinese woman, speaking, yes, Chinese. To me, the fact the caller was Chinese, speaking Chinese, is evidence that the corporation is selling customer data to interested parties. DJI are Chinese and the proximity to the purchases is evidential, also. The issue with this, is the fact I did not actually sign up with DJI when I made a purchase. It was a guest purchase using their retail partner Hasselblad. If there's something in the regulations that say customers need to have accounts in order to agree to the terms and conditions. Say, oh, you need to sign up before they sell your details to cold callers and weird Chinese women blabbing on in a language most don't understand, perhaps that should be followed here? Both were mobile numbers. Companies like the Information Commissioners Office deem mobile numbers as particularly dangerous and mostly don't do much about them. Then, no call lists. I've been on one for years, yet these companies, or individuals, call anyway. That suggests that DJI are selling customer details to underhanded, unregulated individuals or companies, which makes me question their integrity as a company. Guess what? I received more unusual calls when I made another purchase last August (2025). Around two weeks afterwards - I'm not sure honestly - I received a call with an automated service talking about customer something or other. Then, an abusive one from another mobile number. This one had some foreign man blabbing on about nonsense with lots of chatter in the background. They were using different languages and sounded like an illegal call centre centred on cold-calling, scams and possibly voice print collection. The latter is often used to spoof access to people's accounts by bypassing the biometric protections many companies are enforcing now. AI can already do this and scammers are using this with AI right now to access people's accounts. That Man made fun of my voice and attempted to argue about the fact I'd called him. I told him I did not and closed the call. I believe he was trying to gather voice data, so needed to keep me on the phone long enough for the system to record my voice print. Perhaps once it's matched there may be buyers on the dark web interested in such biometric information? It happens. Cockroaches everyone in such organisations... The app for a device they sell uses Android. I'm keeping the exact device private, but anyone familiar might deduce what it is from these paragraphs. I hate Android for it's intrusiveness - it is Google. Then there are restrictions for using it. Every piece of data gathering must be enabled for full usage. An account is also needed to use the device properly without even more restrictions, which is a problem when considering data protection. DJI to me have already shown they're selling customer information, which shows minimal respect for regulation. When I made the last purchase, an account was created automatically. As I mentioned above, I don't want or need accounts with these companies. Considering how much data is sold, traded, passed through CDN and advertising algorithms, AI training and all the other BS everyone deals with nowadays, I loathe accounts with anyone. They give companies the legal oversight to do whatever they want. That leaves us all legally in trouble immediately. Every purchase should be anonymous, minimal details should be kept, information should be securely kept and there should be no interested third parties. Unfortunately, snooping domains on practically every retailer (analytics, advertising, bots) invalidate every single cookie policy regarding opting out. Then there's the constant threat of miserable data brokers operating in the shadows. And yes, different countries, different rules.
