This one has called every day for a couple of weeks. Since the first call I've had them on my blocker box, but decided to call them back with the old *67 trick to block my outgoing number. I left them a nice message noting that I have turned over the detailed records of their repeated "Do Not Call" violation calls via a report to the FCC. Suck on that, scumballs!
Telemarketing scams are the new email spams. You will receive many many more calls from various numbers. All the numbers and caller ID's are faked/spoof. The criminals will use another fake number tomorrow and then another the day after that and so forth. Telemarketing scams are on the rise and YES the person on the other end know they are trying to scam you, which makes them criminal low-lives too. Criminals do not care about you nor the law.
These calls aren't going to stop you will receive many more (worth repeating). Do not pick up. Do not bother pressing any buttons or wasting their time. They are criminals. Criminals do not care.
Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Especially do not provide personal information over the phone to telemarketers that CALL YOU.
You will not win anything, there is no lowering of your credit card interest rate, there is no home security, computer fix, auto warranty, no medical alert devices or no free government money. There is no company just criminals looking to steal your identities and your hard earned money.
Warn the elderly and warn the gullible. Take the time to let others know.
Don't take the calls personally. A computer does all the work until you press a button. Then your call is forwarded to a criminal operator who attempts to steal your personal info. Don't be a victim. Do not provide any personal information over the phone and just ignore the calls. Never ever give personal information over the phone. Not full name. Not full address. Definitely do not give date of birth over the phone. Definitely do not provide your social security number over the phone. And definitely do not provide financial information over the phone.
Beware of out of your calling area callers. Beware of weird caller ID's. And hang up on unwanted automated telemarketing calls and unsuspecting calls. Don't allow criminals to waste your time. Ignore their calls.
Take the time to warn others, report the calls to the Do Not Call Registry and beware.
I just got a call from them. Caller ID says American Alarm. Same computerized Jonathan Tyler. Said Hi, I'm Jonathan Tyler, how are you today? I responded with a kiss my bleep. Computer JT says can you repeat that. Me sure I can, so I did then hung up.
It gave me my laugh for the day.
Just got a call from this number. Caller ID reads "American Alarm." I get SO many calls like this every single day. I never answer them. I also never use my real number when filling out information online, and never have. I believe that these bottom-feeders get my number from .... TAH DAH!!! ... THE DO NOT CALL LIST!! And what better place? They know there will be no repercussions. This is just another government agency set up to take our tax money and provide us with nothing in return. I'm seriously thinking of removing my number from the list.
