Did not answer the call but got the same pre-recorded message today around 10:20am ... something like "police recommend protection and we'll put a small sign in your yard and install a new security system for absolutely free". what bs. If i am on the do not call list, how do these solicitors still get my phone #?!
For all I know, this could be a CROOK calling to see if I have an alarm system at my home.
If they hang up when you ask who they are, they're some sort of CROOK -- burglar or scam artist. Don't give them ANY information -- credit card, bank account number, or whether or not you already have an alarm system.
Well, what does THAT tell you? A company you can't call back, that curses at you when you ask them to stop calling, wants to "give" you a "free" security system if you don't already have one? Sounds like CROOKS to me, phishing for information. Either they are going to rip you off or break into your house.
Or have some FUN with them! Hook up an "Arnold Schwarzenegger" sound board from the Internet to your phone and let them talk to HIM. You could say, "I'll be back!" and put down the phone and see how long they stay on the line.
