I received a call from this San Antonio number this morning. After a delay, a woman came on and started talking about solar programs. My initial attempts to politely decline were met with more aggressive chatter about incentives. After repeating a couple times that I wasn't interested, the woman started talking non-stop as if her objective was to keep me on the line as long as possible. Even as I told her I was going to end the call by hanging up she kept talking more loudly and aggressively. Even if this is a legitimate marketing effort, the tactics were so obnoxious that I'd recommend against answering a call from this number.
Smart MOVE ... BLOCK that number if possible. It is a Solar System Selling/Telemarketers group and they do NOT use the Government Do Not Call List and seem to get away with calling every number they can find.
Only way to safely and sanely handle salesmen and telemarketers when answering a call is: is Say NOTHING in response to their question if you listen to their speil say nothing and then END the Call. Nobody gets upset our blood pressure stays normal and a telemarketer does have a supervisor listening to her call or sitting besides her desk with a clipboard. She is montiored. She hates the job as much as we do but it helps with the car payment. The scammers are just out and out dangerous.
I listened to one guy and did not interrupt until he was done. He flew off the deep end and called me the B word and asked me why I let he talk and finish. I said I was being polite but I was sorry I did.
