JD, is they say they are calling from Los Angeles and it's a 360 number what do you think that means? They call daily, twice a day, I endulged them today trying to get more information out, didn't get much really except they are trying to pre-qualify people for security systems and sell the lead from what I could surmise. They hang up on you as soon as they realize they aren't going to get anywhere and you want off their calling list. I would like to be able to call them back and get at their supervisor to find out how they got my info.
Just filled out the complait form at the WA OAG's site. We shall see. This number has called me repeated over the last 6 months (4-5 times /day for 4-5 days then silence for 2-3 weeks then we start all over again)!!
99% of these numbers are spoofed - they do not originate from, nor are they associated with, the numbers that appear in your caller ids. Aside from the benefit lots of reports have in indicating that there are a lot of frustrated citizens, reporting them to the FCC/feds/whatever is virtually useless as they have no way of catching them (remember, the spoofed numbers, not the "real" offenders/the originating numbers are reported). The FCC (or some similar org) is offering $500K to the person/group/org that provides the best solution for stopping these idiots from making our lives miserable with their incessant phishing/spamming. Until something systemic is done to stop them, they'll continue their harrassment. Until that time, (unless you want to exponentially multiply your frustration) don't let them know they've reached a valid number -- do not answer any unknown calls or interact with them in ANY way.
