I got a call from this number and they said they have promotion running for home air duct cleaning and it is $49 for cleaning which you pay after the service. I asked them what's your company name, and the person told "ohh I am sorry let me give the name again, we are professional air duct cleaning". I was on the computer so I searched for that and I couldn't find what website to check. So I asked them what is your website name :). Then the person hung up the phone.
I figured that it was a fake call to get my personal information. I tried to call back to find who the person was. When I called, i get the number is not in service.
The phone rang twice and then stopped. This is typical of the robo-calls.
When I complain to members of Congress about these calls that are transmitting spoofed phone numbers to people’s Caller ID displays, I am told that there is nothing that can be done to trace the actual sources.
That is a crock!
If the President of the United States was threatened by one of these unwanted callers, you’d see just how fast the source would be tracked down!
The problem is that the big telecommunication companies are making money hand over fist with all of these long distance robo-calls and they don’t *WANT* the problem stopped.
And guess who donates loads of money to these legislators’ campaign funds? The big telecom companies, that’s who.
Until this scam is exposed for what it is — with the telecom companies and members of Congress being held complicit — you and I are going to continue to have our privacy invaded by criminals who couldn’t care less about any ‘Do-Not-Call’ list!
