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.
I've had several calls from this number over the last few days. I'm in the business of installing PBX phone systems so I understand phones and related systems inside-out. Please know that with "digital" trunks like PRI or VoIP trunks, THE INSTALLER can deliver ANY phone number he wishes to the called party (in other words, I can call you from this type of trunk and your caller ID could say it was the White House calling!) so I knew when I tried to call the number back and it was "out of service," that the call had come from a telemarketer and that they had simply put in a random number for the appearance of legitimacy. The last time I answered the phone from this number, it was clearly a "predictive dialer" (where the computer keeps calling a series of numbers, and when someone answers it connects to an operator...that's why there is a brief silence before you hear a human) and when they asked for me by my first name, I asked, "Who may I say is calling?" She didn't want to tell me and finally got upset that I wasn't going to reveal information to HER, and finally said to me, "Well, I guess you aren't going to tell me if he is home or not," and hung up on me.
called today at noon - knew my name, so obviously got it from property records (Thanks, County of Santa Clara). Said his company was called eco friendly, which does not exist. All liars. Getting rid of my landline so I can get rid of the creeps. I must get 20 calls per week from the scammers/spammers - all on my dime. Good bye landline.
