Rec'd a call from (310) 220-4955 from Elite Home Builders representing themselves on behalf of LA County for the HERO program. They had called many times and I happened to pick up this time. Not sure if this was a legit call or not, but I didn't schedule an appointment for them to come check out my place to do work or energy saving upgrades to my house. If legit, it seems like Elite Home is in a hurry to sign you up to do work before the HERO programs ends or runs out of money. Hero Program subsidizes monies to contractors to do work that homeowners can't afford to do and the contractor turn around and bill the county, as well as the homeowner putting out some money for the work done.
It is the robot that is persistent, the slime don't even know that the calls are being blocked because the autodialer cycles through the numbers and when somebody picks up, it transfers the call to one of the operators. They don't care that calls are being blockedunless it gets to the point that so many calls are being blocked that the productivity of the robodialer drops off and they have to start thinking about purging out useless numbers.
