Just got a call on 2/5/2015 at 6:00pm or so asking about a home security system. It sounded like an automated call but extremely realistic. Very weird. Makes me wonder if they're trying to see who doesn't have a security system and trying to invade.
It's the most realistic robo-caller I have ever heard. They called about a "free" home security system. I do not appreciate getting calls when I'm on the DNC list. Penalties for failing to comply with TCPA regulations remain unchanged. It's $500 for every unsolicited call and subsequent violations increases the penalties -- believe up to $1,500. Thoughts to everyone getting these calls:
1. Double check that you are on the DNC list
2. Keep a record of the telemarketer's phone number (or numbers), the date of each call, whether they're recorded calls or include a human. Save all voice and text messages from telemarketers.
3. Find out who is calling you and take action to stop getting these annoying calls
4. There are a bunch of aggressive attorneys who fight bad actors. Consider contacting them with the above information.
