I got a call like this today thinking it was a real person I listened and she asked for the lady of the house I said there was no lady here she says ' o ' and she continued to talk to me about movie and tv ratings and asked if I agreed I said ' no ' and then she says ' well let me explain my thought pattern ' I said ... click and hung up
I got the same call.
The asked for the 'lady of the house' I said there is none and they talked to me instead. There is probably some statistic that women are more likely to listen to solicitors or something. The conversation cut in and out of a real person talking and her recorded voice.
They said the film industry isn't paying attention to family and are making too many R films. They asked questions if I agree with this and I said no. Then they gave me some statistics.
I'm a movie blogger and studios avoid R films. If they can make an R film into a PG-13 film they will do it so they can reach a bigger audience.
She also said that movies today are not given heavier ratings today. That's bull too. Look at the Ghostbusters (1984)it was rated PG. Today this movie would probably be an R because of the smoking, swearing, and sexual content.
They asked me if they can call later with more info. I said no. Then they asked for my full name. Then there recording machine came on. I wanted to ask why they wanted my full name. I got no answer so I hung up.
This is some kind of scam to get your full name, phone number, and address.
My phone # is 100% unlisted. I went through a lot of trouble to do that. These people are using some kind of random dialer.
These people are trying to pull off identity theft in my opinion.
Received the same call today. They asked for a lady of the house, offered a 90 seconds survey after which I asked to be put on their do-not-call list. The woman on the other side said she will take care of this. This doesn't sound like a identity theft it's more like 'pre-sale' call when they get your opinion and the next call a week later will try to sell you 'family' movies.
First they called while we were at our cottage. Then two days later they called us at a house we were house-sitting, then two days later at our home. Same (female) person each time - said her name was "Tammy". Sounds like the plot of one of the violent movies she claimed to be against - I am definitely freaked out. Did anyone else get questions about whether there were members of the household under 16? She also asked for the lady of the house, and spoke to the lady of the house on the first two calls except on the third call, when the lady of the house was unavailable. The man of the house asked her if I could speak to her, but she hung up so fast that I felt like I was the telemarketer, and not her!
