Yes - I got a call from this number. My caller ID said "wireless caller" but I picked up and it was the same automated message talking about statistics from the fire department, and then asks if I needed some security service, or would be willing to put a sign in my yard. I have received these calls (from different phone numbers, but with the same automated message) to my home landline, now over 15x in the last 3 weeks; and I am already on a do not call list which was renewed in January 2012.
There is an option to press 1 to hear more, or to press 2 to be removed from this list. The first 14 calls, I pressed 2. After not being removed, and receiving this call just 15 mins ago, I decided to press 1. I got another very brief automated message and then "Mike" came on the line. Here is how the conversation went:
Mike: Hi, thanks for showing interest in our services.
CC1: Hi! can you tell me who I am speaking with?
Mike: I am Mike.
CC1: Hi Mike! What company is calling me today?
Mike: I am with "Security Promotions".
CC1: Thanks for that, and where are is your company based?
Mike: North Carolina,
CC1: Ok, where in NC?
Mike: Charlotte, but we operate all over the nation.
CC1: Do you have a website url I can check out and a phone number I can call back on in case we are disconnected?
Mike: No, I don't. Anything you need, I can share with you.
CC1: Really? A nation-wide company doesn't have a website for consumers to take a look at?
Mike: Hangs up.
I was chipper and friendly the whole time, as my aim was to find out who has been repeatedly calling and harassing my elderly parents in their home, and to make a formal complaint. I called the operator to see how to make a formal complaint on this "company".
Received a call on my cell from this number. I did not recognize the number so did not answer it. Called the number from my home phone and the message said that it was not a "working number."
Thank goodness I didn't answer. I had a similar call 3 days ago, different number, which tried selling a security system. The person hung up on me in the middle of my request to not call my cell.
I have followed the advise of this blog to not answer unrecognizeable numbers.
Comes across as unknown but it gives you the number. Most states have "No Call" lists. You couls probably submit the number to your state Attorney General and file a complaint. They have the resources to find these numbers and the people who own them and take care of them from their end.
Also, if you don't recognize the number, don't answer it. These people have only continue to harass the ones that answer their calls. They don't have time to sit and wait for you to answer. They have to move on. If you answer then you're hooked. They have your number. Don't be the fish that takes the bite at the hook. Keep swimming by. After awhile if you haven't responded to the calls, you will notice you don't get them any more.
