'Carey Johnson' who stated he was a contractor called about 5PM tonight. Said he was going to be in area doing estimates. Usual scammer junk. You could hear other call center lines working in backround. I asked if he was a criminal scammer and he laughed nervously and said I must be 'very unhappy' and hung up. Not sure if these toads are the Platinum/Coast/Tri Cities construction scammers but bet they are.
they have called about 14 times and we have picked up 6 of those times and no one has answered back. we told them if they called again we would report them. and they called again so we told them it was illegal. tried to call them back but the line is disconnected.
Someone repeatedly calls - maybe 4-5 times/wk and when I pick up, there is just silence. Their number registers as 310 674-3373 coming from Inglewood. It's been quite a nusance.
Great secret...download free app available for your smartphone called Air Horn, sounds just like those annoying air horns you hear at sporting events. When called by these people, use the air horn app and see how quickly they stop calling. Obviously, only works of they are calling on your home line and you have your mobile handy but brings a big smile to my face. I work from home and get a great deal of tele-marketing calls. No matter how many times I have registered, filed a complaint or reported these calls to "Do Not Call" list, it seems never to work as well as this secret.

If I wanted to annoy these callers, as much as they annoy me, I'd call their scheduling callback number from a phone that has blocked caller ID... much like the Fake caller IDs they use, and the Magic Jack numbers they regularly cycle through.
To block your caller id for one (1) call:
(This may not work, if you don't have outgoing call block feature - check with your phone provider)
Pick up the phone and listen for the dial tone
Dial *67
Listen for the dialtone beeps then the dial tone again
WITHOUT hanging up, dial 1-310-817-3688
When they answer ask for "THE HOME DEPOT"
They regularly use fake company names like "the home center" "LA home center" "home design center" anything to avoid getting caught. Asking for the Home Depot will get them really confused. You be more confused.
This company sells your contact info to a contractor who may or may not know that this company calls people from the DO NOT CALL list.
If you'd like to report them, you can use the fake # and also report the 817 number above, on the www.DoNotCall.gov complaint form (only if your number is on the Do Not Call list already)
