Am in Toronto. Call today from 301 - as per call display. Was curious so answered. When I picked it up, a few seconds of dead air and then a recorded female voice said Good Bye, and the call disconnected.
I received the same call about five minutes ago. The only numbers that showed up was 301 and nothing else. This number has been calling me all week. So, finally I decided to answer and it was a man with an extremely heavy accent of some sort. He claimed that the government was going to give me $7,000, completely tax free, and I won't ever have to pay it back. He then continued to tell me that it was because I've never filed bankruptcy, I have never been convicted of a felony, and because I pay my bills on time. Then there was something about a demographic survey of some sort. I politely, and I do have to stress politely, told him that I was not interested. He started to raise his voice and gave me the whole spill all over again. I told him once more that I was not interested. He started to shout at me saying, "It's free money, right?! Why wouldn't you want it?!" I told him that I don't believe in free money from suspicious characters who call from numbers that I cannot trace, cause I refuse to get bit in the [***] for other people's scams, then I hung up on him as he started to shout his spill all over again. After that, I received about four more calls, until finally it stopped.
my girl friend had the same problem today that someone called twice an she picked up wile I was there an there was nothing I called sprint an there was nothing they could do as they said it might be a bill collector or telemarketer calling from a 3rd party an useing the number 301 as there number ....I do know that if people call you more than 3 time thats harasment an is a criminal charge if you call the cops,,
Same thing here -- numerous calls from this number -- once I leave work today, I'm going to answer and blow a whistle in the a-hole's ear -- hopefully he'll go stone-deaf and will stop telemarketing
Just had the number call and he said that they had recieved alot of critical errors from my computer so I told him we had antivirus and he was talking alot of [***] and he told me it was my business computer so I fired a few choice words at him seeing as I was at home and do not have a business computer so he started trying to shout his speel at me again and told me not to hang up...so I hung up!!
