These guys use various names and call from different area codes and spoofed numbers, but they are the same guys (I recognize Mike/Jim/Robert/Steve as all being the same person). They use names like Crown Home Improvement, Pacific Coast Home Solutions, Clearview Home Improvements, Advanced Remodeling Center, and JTB Home Improvement. I have actually had them call 3 times within one hour with the same guy, different name, and different company name. They try to overcome my blocking device by calling me from multiple phones, all showing the same phoney number about 3 seconds apart, just to make me think they are not getting blocked. Talk about scumbags!!

We've been getting a lot of these lately contractor calls, and we are on the DoNotCall.gov list. Really annoying. I reported to DoNotCall.
Contractor Telemarketing
My new 7 step strategy for contractor telemarketing.
1.Ask them why they are calling?
2.Tell them I have a lot of work that I am currently looking for contractors to do.
3 But I need to finish something, can I call them back in 15 minutes.
4. Tell them I need a phone number to call them back at.
5. If they haven't hung up, ask the person's name and ask if I should ask for them, or someone else.
6. If they haven't hung up, ask them their CONTRACTOR LICENSE NUMBER.... They will most assuredly have hung up by now.
Got a call from this number today. I hung up quickly after telling the gentleman on the other end that I didn't need any repair work done, but not too quickly to note that the caller was seriously lacking in customer service skills. I have the feeling that it was a criminal casing potential targets.
