I live in IL. I received a call from this number in MI about Home Security Systems, obviously I did not tell them to not call me under option 2 (it seldom works), so..., option 1 rewards me with a lady who identifies herself as "Abby", when I pressed for more information as to how they got my number, she says that her company uses many "satellite offices to make calls" and that they are located in "Washington State" After trying to continue the questions, she said that her position is as a "call screener" and that I would have to answer 3 questions in order to be transferred to an actual sales rep or company employee. After the first question (Was I an actual home owner?) I am indeed. She declared that I "was being very sarcastic" and then promptly hung up. I will be looking forward to our next call. The car warranty scammers called me so often, that all I had to do was answer they would recognize my voice, and hang up.
They are telemarketing scum. People BEWARE once you press menu option 2 to opt out, THEY KNOW THEY ARE CALLING A GOOD NUMBER and will call you back on another line. Just hang up without pressing anything!
Out of state number (Kalamazoo), didn't pick up, no voicemail. I get a lot of calls like this ever since I signed up for an online temp agency. That was a scam too, but at least I haven't lost any money, just annoyed by telemarketers.
They just called me but I didn't answer. I'm receiving several scam calls a month. Does anyone think it may be the cellular carrier? I never had these issues until I signed up with a "no-contract" company?
