This number and about 4--5 others like it (scams) call my house up to 3 times EACH a day and my cellphone 2 times a day. So freaking sick of them!!! What is the point of going on the "DO NOT CALL LIST" if these a**holes call anyways. Getting ready to change both home and cell number. Anyone know how they got our info to begin with or do they have a computer that just randomly calls a number and keeps calling till they get an answer?
The auto dialers call hundreds of random numbers at once, hoping something goes through. I've heard that hang-up calls are done to see if the line is active. If the call is answered, it's flagged as an active number to be called over and over again with a real person on the other line. I accidentally answered one of these last week (it was a local number; I thought it might be one of my sons' friends) and have been inundated with calls since.
