They called my cell two times today. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. I was considering calling back since I have family in MD -- glad I checked here first.
CID is Nanjemoy MD, a town I've never heard of, in Maryland. Same story for me, I don't recognize the call, so I don't answer, knowing that it is a fraudulent attempt to rob me of my hard-earned money. DNC, at the very least, let's me know that any call that is unknown is an attempt to fleece. No voicemail, here, either. When will all of this be addressed by the authorities? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. I don't need to know that this is not the place to have the question answered. Call came at 9:13AM, EDT, this morning.
Called and left the usual carpet cleaning message from "The Carpet Cleaning Company" (nice generic name that is untraceable).
I live in Georgia, but have a 703 area code number. So I thought I would mess with their minds by pressing "1" and asking if they would drive from Maryland to Georgia and clean my carpets.
So I pressed "1" and nothing happens. I suspect they are harvesting phone numbers or something and if you press "1" for more info or press "9" to be removed, it verifies that the phone number is live or something.
Very weird. Why robocall, and then not answer the calls?
There was an article in the Washington Post about a carpet cleaning scam recently. They call and make an appointment, quote one price, and then say it needed "extra cleaning" and then quote a different price. Maybe the same folks, who knows?
Some sort of scam - they are violating the DNC registry to be sure.
