These "ROBO" calls are coming from Washington, Pennsylvania, Texas. Representing John Cornyn, Dan Branch and a host of other as*holes that have nothing better to do than ruin people's days. I ain't voting for none of these jerks. I wished I had their phone number. This mess is getting old, REAL OLD.
This number called our business at 0941 hours today. As the number was very much unfamiliar and the caller ID showed the caller's name as the number "4582010098", I figured it was some scam or other unwanted call. So, I answered with a wary "hello" and it immediately disconnected. I will report this call as an abandoned call.
Do to these calls I am seriously considering doing away with my office phone. How can we conduct business with all these annoying calls interrupting the real work. No one spoke when I answered.
Received another call from this number on our business phone today. It was a very persistent saleman from Charter Business, trying to convince us to switch over our business phone and internet to their company. As before, the caller ID showed the phone number (458-201-0098) as the company name. As Charter already has a television monopoly in our town for personal television service, I'm disinclined to throw them any additional business, despite their claim that they will save us money. (The man claimed they were 30% less than our Verizon service. Hmm... That's not what my math tells me. It's about 20% - but I'm sure that's without the fees and taxes that get slapped on to the bottom of the bill, so that's certain to cut into the so-called savings.)
Answered call and they asked to speak with the person that handles our phone and internet service. I said no and then 15 minutes later our computers went down due to a virus. Maybe I should have talked to her? NO!
