This annoying number called me twice in a row, one ring each time. Made the mistake to answer, I said "Hello" and a female voice said "Goodbye" and hanged up! It better not be hackers! Do not answer their calls!
I've ~20 calls from this number since August 10th, most were hang-ups. Today I finally got connected to a rep from a call center. I acted interested to get as much info as possible, but he caught on and hung up. From my interaction with "Max", the call center seems very shady. They were calling on behalf of Merchant Banking Resources in Santa Monica CA. I connected to, what I can only assume was, the business owner. He seemed concerned enough that the call center was hammering me and not in compliance with Do Not Call regulations and promised to blacklist my number. Not sure what will happen or how legit the business is, but thought this info might help someone else.
This rude jerk told me that he would keep calling and calling after I asked to be removed from their directory. He is blocked now. Wish i had a way to send a very nasty jolt thru the phone at these people.
