Called today 28 March, 2016 at 12:38 PM. Trying to sell home security system. They claimed it was from General Electric.
Yes, they knew my address, but we have had a Zip code change, perhaps 6 or 7 years ago. They had the wrong Zip code, but did have the correct village of Northampton, MA.
I kept them on long enough to get transferred to a higher level. Same poor, hard to understand, English. Same sell.
I then tried their number. I couldn't get past 413-211, kept getting a "we sorry..." from the phone company.
-----
Keeping them on the phone; Many think that these folks phone calls are almost free. Yes the calls are free, BUT lead them on, that costs time, which eats money in terms of salary, overhead, employee taxes & so forth.
If enough people waste their time they will go broke, or into a more profitable venture.
got a call yesterday from this number. it is a home security company wanting to give free equipment and set up, but if you call back the number it is not in service. i don't understand why they do that , are they legit or not? They knew my name and address probably from the phone book.
