Usual hang-up-as-soon-as-you-answer call.
Caller ID displays "Unknown Name".
My Verizon call block is set to screen calls without an ID, but seems totally ineffective.
Caller ID system design (at the national/service provider level) needs to be redesigned to make spoofing *MUCH* more difficult.
How about a registry for caller ID sources like the Internet DNS, which requires verifiable owner information?
Callers not provably confirmed by callback to source number get *NO SERVICE* from the telcos.
Yet one more hang up. Caller ID POWER CENTER. With all the chatter about high rates & high bills from the winter heating, guess new power companies figure we're all going to jump ship to another company from BGE and from what little research I've been doing between the post cards in mail, the door knockers and the phone calls, decentralized power is the in thing but you do have to watch the terms and rates if you switch.
I received a call at 11:40 A.M. My ID read Power Center. A record said, "You may be elligible for a rebate on your electric bill, please hold and have your BGE bill ready." Then a female (I thought she said her name was Rachel) came on the line and I could not understand a word she said as there was a lot of noise in the back ground and her words all ran together. I hung up. Then I called the number back as I was curious and a recording came on saying, "If you no longer want to receive calls from this numer, press 5." So, I did, and then a recording came on sayin, "You have been removed from our list." Who knows what Power Center is.
