Quite possibly connected to the other TWO SPAM calls I got with Massachusetts area codes today: 781-995-2211 (Boston) and 508-876-4968 (Worcester). BOTH were traced to a TELEMARKETER/SPAMMING company known as "MEYER ASSOCIATES TELESERVICES", based in MICHIGAN, which is KNOWN for using ILLEGALLY SPOOFED LOCAL/IN STATE numbers to FOOL people into picking up calls from unrecognized but familiar-looking numbers. They also use the RUSE of doing "Political Surveys" BUT are REALLY in the DATA MINING business and ask all kinds of PERSONAL questions which they then RECORD and use to SELL to other TELEMARKETERS and BUSINESSES including BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, etc. This is basically FOR PROFIT BIG BROTHER.
Their M.O is to call and let it ring only 3.5 times, hanging up before answering machines and voicemail picks up, to avoid paying for 'dead' calls.
Best to IGNORE, Not answer, or even pickup/hangup w/o answering to break the call and CONFUSE the ROBODIALER.
