AND I currently have saved 19 of these numbers - ALL totally different AND from different parts of the country. They ALL are 'disconnected' numbers!!!!!
Called, it was an automated system that says the FBI estimates that there is a break in every 15 minutes. It's an offer for a "free" security system. Press 1 if you are interested and 2 if you are not. I've pressed 2 on at least 3 calls and 1 on 1 call and no one picks up...but they keep calling back. It's not even noon and I've gotten 3 calls. Sometimes it's from this number, sometimes from other numbers. Any idea who I can report this to? I want it to stop.
In addition to picking option #2, I have picked option #1 and told multiple people to stop calling me. They hang right up and the machine keeps calling.
So I now have taken a new approach of getting a person and wasting as much of their time as I can before they hang up.
I too take their time up. I act as interested as I possibly can, give them a fake name, and then provide them with my phone number for the call back from their regional 'agent'. HOWEVER, the number I provide is actually for the police department in my city. Maybe if the police department gets enough calls from these b*stards, they will follow up with measures that us, the general public, have been unable to use.
