This is just one of MANY numbers they are calling from - telemarketing - recently with some kind of construction flare or solar - "your local contractor" - these caller ID numbers are dynamic generated on the fly - I believe some kind of VOIP or Internet calls - more often then not I hear silence after I pick up - some auto-generated clicking (like in that credit score commercial on TV with two bulky computers in an empty warehouse that doom unsuspected consumers) - and then after the silence, robot call "GOOD BYE". Sometimes I get this "GOOD BYE" right away. But once in a while, an actual person comes online, and it's not someone from overseas with unrecognizable accent, but rather a classic American voice of a "local contractor" asking by name, as if calling off the white pages! BTW, updating your number on the 'Do Not Call List' DOES NOT help to get rid of these unsolicited calls.
Got a call from 323-284-4793
He asked for the home owner by name. When I asked who this was, they responded with; "This is Spencer, Can I speak to (and said homeowner's name)... When I asked, "who do you represent" he AGAIN ignored my question and asked for the home owner. I then raised my voice and said WHO DO YOU REPRESENT?
He said "why are you yelling at me?
I brought my tone down to a whisper and said "who do you represent?
He said again, why are you yelling at me?
I said again in a whisper, who do you represent. He then said AGAIN why are you yelling at me.
asking if I need work "inside or outside" my home. They specialize in "energy efficient" home upgrades etc. Is this why they can call numbers on the do not call list. wtf?
Also referred to me by name and knew where I lived. Said he met me before and I had asked for him to call me back regarding my home ownership (completely false information). Felt very violated.
First time I've seen this number. Rang 8.30am - called me by name and asked how I was doing. Very noisy background, as if he was calling from a street or a cafe. I twice asked who he represented and he mumbled the answer so I couldn't hear. He told me we'd spoken earlier in the year and that I'd asked him to call back after Christmas. Realising that was a complete lie I hung up. No call back (yet).
