Hello all. I received a call from this # as well. As someone else mentioned, I thought it was relatives we have in Rhode Island calling, so I answered it. A women with broken english told me that I had beed "selected" to receive a free GE home security system. I am sure that there next step was to just "verify" all kinds of my personal information. But, I can smell a scam, even from a few states away! Anyway, I told them I was not interested and ended the call. They called again this morning....How damn annoying. I am on the National do not call list...so I decided to go to the website and file a complaint! This is my best recommendation for anyone else who gets this call!
I would like to update my last post. I actually just got off the phone with GE security. I got their customer support # from their website. I told them that I wanted to report a possible fraudulant company claiming to be acting on behalf of their company and that the call came from Rhode Island. The Rep told me that it is actually affiliated with them and it is a part of their summer special or something (last time I checked it was Fall, not summer) and that they are in fact giving away free systems...of course you have to pay fees, put signs in your yard, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I did tell the Rep that I am on the National Do Not Call list and that I have reported the number. Her response seemed to be one of surprize...Thought I would put this info out there for all other victims of this annoying phone call!
