Received a call on 11-07-2011 with a recorded female voice saying, "Don't hang up this is not a sales call... did you know homes are broken into every 10 seconds in the United States... if you are interested in protecting your family, press 1; if you are not interested in protecting your family, press 2."
We are on both our state's and the federal no-call list.
Recorded message that started out "DON'T HANG UP. THIS IS NOT A SALES CALL. THE FBI RECENTLY REPORTED THAT THERE IS A HOME BREAK-IN EVERY"
I hung up.
Clearly this *is* a sales call. Tried calling the caller-ID number back to identify what scum company this was (I should have listened long enough so I had the name to report as DNC violation). Wouldn't you know that the number comes back as "not in service."
THIEVES trying to protect you against other THIEVES? I don't think so.
Nothing like using fear to sell a product.... I just got a call from this number and got a hang-up. Sometimes I wonder why I have a home phone. It's only causing headaches with these calls.
