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.
Repeated calls from this number in recent weeks. Asked to be put on the do not call list and for them not to call me again. The man stated " I am going to call you right back". This is harassment.
CID says "out of area", they have never left a message and I will never answer a call I don't know anything about. They are calling through Nextel and appear to reside in Hermosa Beach, CA.
Their call behavior clearly confirms them as an illegal telescammer. Added to my blacklist.
Same caller - fyi - I have a Panasonic basic phone with multiple portable phones.
The phone will allow you to block 20 numbers. In those cases, I get a quick ring and nothing further.
However I have been saving the additional phone numbers in my phone once I know it is a telemarketer.
I save them as "DNA-SALES" so when I see those #'s calling back, I don't bothering answering.
These phone sets allow quite a few #'s to be saved so you can avoid the aggravation, once you identify them.
Ideally, they wouldn't call in the first place, but this way I only deal with them one time.
