I've been getting calls from this MA number for weeks. There are multiple numbers that they are using. They ask you to press 1 if you want information about a free home security system or 9 if you don't. They hang up when you press either number. A call back to that number asks you to press 9 to be taken off their list.
It is ADT or Home Security Networks something. Mostly call with a computer wanting me to press 1 or 9. I just let it talk till it hangs up to waste its time. But actually had a lady call me this morning. It went like this, "Good morning, I am with Home Security Networks," CLICK. Sometimes it asks to press 1 to talk with a rep so I turn on mute and press 1 to laugh at the rep going BLah thanks for blah, and then realizing no one is there saying, Hello sir, hello is anyone there and then you hear silence and click. Funny every time. Waste my time, so I will waste a minute of yours.
Scam artists - obviously.
Received an unexpected call on my business blackberry from a guy identifying himself as a seller of home security services from some home security company (didn't catch it) and asking if I'm a home owner. When I asked how he got my number, he said "we get our numbers form a variety of sources, are you interested or not?" I chuckled and said "is that how you sell a product?" and he said "yes". I asked him to repeat the company name and he said "it's a yes or no question sir, are you interested or not?" I said, "I might be, how about telling me the name of your company." He hung up on me at that point.
We receive several of these calls a day. . always the same. . whatever number you press, it disconnects. . Why would I buy a home security system from a bunch of losers who can't even use real people to make their phone calls. Imagine how their customer service must be. .
Called ADT fraud department on these people. They are also calling from others numbers to confirm someone is there. Don't seem to have my address or any other information. They said they didn't know if anything like that, and they would be investigating the issue.... I gave them my phone number and confirmed I was on the do not call list.
