Very regular telemarketer caller. We have them blocked, still my system allows the telephone to ring once. I rarely ever answer any telephone calls without at least screening the Caller ID display. At least I have the small satisfaction of never listening to their scam spiel. Still, these calls are annoying.
I just couldn't believe that telemarketers actually convince anyone to buy anything or give up any personal information. Well, until my mother-in-law developed dementia. She has no idea who or what these people are doing or talking about. She also began receiving torrents of charity pleas for money in the regular postal mail. So now, we handle her finances so she can't get taken by any of these scam artists.
They call me constantly!! I got so sick of it I finally picked up and then no one was there. They called again another day and I picked up then they said that I had won a free alarm system for my house. I told them I have an alarm, but they kept persisting there's was better. I told them to call back after I discussed it with my husband. They called back another day and I just decided to not pick up anymore and block their calls.
One of the regular telemarketer pests. They don't respect the Do Not Call Law requirements. They claim to be exempt from the law because they sell home security systems. Which is an outright lie!
Most of us would never consider purchasing any goods or services from a "cold call" telemarketer. Sadly, these crooks prey on the elderly and weak willed.
I use a telephone that blocks up to twenty numbers and theirs is on my list. It rings once and the telephone displays "Caller Blocked." I make sure that I report them to the FTC. Maybe the government will actually do something about this. (Hey, then again, maybe pigs will fly too!)
This man called me in the afternoon and said he wanted to do a survey. I said fine and then he wanted to discuss my pubic hair with me and I hung up the phone. These are some dirty old and nasty men.
