Number is not only spoofed, it is bogus... no real phone number start with "1" Don't answer calls you don' t recognize... most of the spam will hang up. Anybody that you actually want to talk to will start to leave a message and you can then pick up the phone,
Received phone call from the so called number of 310-154-8795 which I answered. They asked for a male relative by name to which I replied with " who can I tell him is calling?" Caller replied with, " is he home? " To which I replied with, " What is this in regards to? " The caller then said, " well it sounds like you're having a really bad day so I'm just going to hang up now." And they did. Saved me the trouble of hanging up on them.
Bottom Line, I don't identify myself to anyone until I know who I am speaking to. Even if they ask for me by my name, I still say, " who can I tell her is calling please? " If they can't Identify themselves, then it's probably a scam. If there is a "legitimate" phone number displaying in caller ID, then I report it to the Do Not Call website.
Fight Back, waste their time like they are wasting yours and NEVER Identify yourself until you know who you are speaking to.
08/01/2013 5:41 PM. Caller ID said "Name Not Found". The saleswoman identified the company as "AAA Remodeling". When I said that I was on the Do Not Call list she hung up.
To file complaints go to:

When I have filed a complaint with the 2nd number (FCC), even though the form takes longer to fill out than for the 1st number (Do Not Call), on only one occasion have I received another call from the number that I reported.
