Scam call telling you that there is a lot of crime in your area and if offering you a "FREE SECURITY SYSTEM" that will cost you a fortune. The St, Louis T.V. station had an alert some time ago where an elderly woman was bilked out of almost $6000 for a "FREE SECURITY SYSTEM" DON'T ANSWER THESE CALLS OR ATTEMPT TO CALL THEM BACK. Calling back means your are interested and you will continue to get calls and high pressure. ANSWER CALLS ONLY FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW OR LEAVE A MESSAGE.
I got a call from 213-921-4701. I have caller ID and an answering machine. I will not answer numbers that I do not know who they are. Party didn't leave a message. I have filed a complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry. I understand this is a Scam call.
When I get these kind of calls ,what I do is hit the answer button then the # sign on my phone as fast as I can and about 15 times in a row the hang up. This seems to lesson the number of times they will call back. Sometimes 1 or 2 times a week then they stop for awhile. Try it, see if this works you. Good luck !
They made two attempts to call me yesterday. "Alarm Co" again. What makes them think that changing their phone number is somehow going to get people to fall for their scam?
Got two calls from them just today. They never leave a message and I never answer or talk to them.
Using your caller I.D. to screen these calls is an excellent strategy. Block these numbers if you have the
ability. Thank God for this web site. What ever happened to the Do Not Call list?
