Do you own a NordicTrack/ICON Fitness treadmill or exercise equipment?? Calling to extend your warranty. I asked them why didn't they identify themselves as "NordicTrack". She gave me no reply on that.
I find some of the remarks posted about these ‘faux telemarketer calls’ amusing. I put together a software program that has logged over 380 of these nuisance calls since 2012. Those of you that let the calls roll to your answering machine, voicemail or worse yet answered the call you have just ensured you will get another of these calls. Maybe not from the same number, but they’ve just identified your number as valid and passed it on. Most of the initial calls originate from software (aka; ‘robocalls’) – once your number is identified as active, then a person may be there on the follow up calls. If you have the capability to ‘block’ the number that called – that is the best action. If you don’t have a blocking option, keep a phone with caller ID close by and simply hit ‘talk’ and ‘off’ simultaneously. This will reduce the number of nuisance calls, but not stop them. If you really want to block them – there is software available that a layman can install. Of the 380 calls I’ve blocked, only 16 have been in the last 6 months. So the message is simple – blocking works….
PS: I think Call Notes should add a 'Call Type' for 'Spoof' or 'Scammer Calls'!
Received a call from this number. Message left, states they are calling about my treadmill. I have had no problems with it and since the call back number is different and doesn't come back to the treadmill company, I guessing its someone trying to sell my a warranty policy or more useless stuff. Solution, they have been blocked.
