Great info.
Called Mr Cohen and he actually picked up his cell himself, not voicemail.
He seemed to be a decent guy. Talked to him for about 10 minutes.
He is bothered that he pays a company to provide him a list of valid (not on do not call list) numbers that his business can legally call, and he gets about 90% good numbers and 10% bad ones (numbers listed on do not call list). He has changed companies 10 times and they all lie. Once he got a list and 50% were bad numbers. So as a business I understand his side, and genuinely want to solve the problem of his side of this vicouse cycle of madness.
I don't mind getting a call every once in a while even though I am registered on the do not call registers, however when I do pick up the phone, or even bother to call them back to see who it is, there is never anyone there...I don't get it. So now I am more annoyed that I get 10 calls a day, leaving 10 hang ups, and I can't make them stop.
These scammers have been calling me for a few months, two times today alone (it must be important, huh?) they never leave a message. AT&T CID says “out of area”.
The number appears to belong to Sandra Gonzalez of Hawthorne, CA. Her exchange is managed by MPower Communications Corp of Las Vegas, NV. MPower is not accredited by the BBB and has numerous complaints filed against it. MPower caters to telescammers ... so, if the number is not spoofed, Sandra Gonzalez (if that’s her real name) is a big illegal telescammer.
Calls just about every day and leaves no message, this time I decided to answer. After a few seconds delay a lady said that her company called LAST YEAR (pfff as if) to ask if I needed work done on my house. Told her that I DO remember and also remembered that I told her company not to call, Apparently they did not remember that. Thank You have a nice day.... and I hung up.
Art from the Home Center calling to see if I need any repairs. Told him I'm on the do not call list and my spouse is a contractor, don't need or want their services take me off the list. He kept talking and I finally hung up on him.
