I finally answered since this number kept calling. Horrible connection, sounded like a call center (people in background) he said they were H&R construction with a 25 percent discount on materials, bathroom, kitchen remodels, outdoor work, could they come out for a free estimate? I said 'no thank you' and he slammed the phone on me. Hope it ends the calls...
UPDATE I answered earlier today and the guy said they were offering a free estimate for house repairs, upgrades, when I said no, thank you he slammed the phone down. He just called back, asked for me or my husband by name. I told him I'd already had a call and to not call back. He again slammed the phone down.
I live in the 408 area code, and do not recognize the 164 prefix. I simply do not answer calls where I do not know the number shown on caller ID. If it is important, the answering machine will take the message, and I will return the call.
Got a call from 408-164-7558 ... man's voice (no accent, American English), asked for me by name AND address. He said he was following up on "fliers" that had been distributed. Was pitching very vague outdoor or indoor remodeling. I told him "not interested", man said I'd get a flier anyway. Bizarre. Obviously, bizarre enough for me to look up the number on-line, and post this. I felt suspicious about someone "casing" our residence. I will have phone company put a "trap" on the line if the calls continue.
