I got called from this number, and the CID said it was from Hermosa Beach. The guy said his Dad owns a home improvement company and they wanted to know if I needed any work done. I said no and hung up. He called right back under a different phone ID number. I answered the phone and the guy was mad I hung up. The new phone number was: 244-400-0000. The CID said it was an unknown name. They obviously have many different numbers they can say they are calling from, all false.
TNS!! Called and said he had my stripper pole ready for delivery. Said it was paid for already and he had my name and address correct. Thanks internet and credit checking and real estate services for providing this to any slob that wants to pay for it. I told him I had no legs since they were blown off in Korea and the monkey LAUGHED. Can you believe that? LAUGHED! No monkey laughs at a Korean war vet. I was gonna give him what fer and stick a flower in it but the monkey hung up on me.
Called today....I could tell from the pause that it was a telemarketer of some kind. He said "Hello, (name of my wife)?" I said "who is this". He hung up.
I'm filing a formal complaint with the FCC do-not-call registry. Please, whenever you get an unwanted telephone call - especially if it is a telemarketer that is illegally invading your privacy, ALWAYS file a complaint! The FCC does not investigate individual complaints, but they will take action if enough people complain.
Also, if you have AT&T, there is a feature that I just found out about that allows call blocking of up to 20 numbers. Most of these telemarketers are using a computer to call you, so it does not bother them a bit. But they WILL call back (or their machine), so blocking the number may help to further reduce additional calls.
The number may be spoofed (fake telephone number), but it usually is not.
