The caller ID for this caller displays "WEB RANKING." The caller does not leave a message. Legitimate callers leave messages. This is highly suspicious.
I do not answer calls from numbers I do not recognize. I live on the East Coast. Call was at 20:00hrs. Caller ID stated Auburn CA. This is a new phone number for a free security system as mentioned by another caller. I had blocked the previous number so they tried a different one.
"Star Home security installed for free".... deleted the rest of the VM. Let me guess: "small" monthly fee, 2 year contract, who knows? CC scam? also who knows... this is why I still have a home phone: so I can use my existing excellent 24x7 monitored security system and screen all calls.
Recvd call today at 6:43 pm & didn't pick up. The following was on voice mail: "Due to increase of criminal activity in my area, GE Security is paying for 5 houses to receive new ON STAR home protection package AT NO COST TO ME. Must be willing to put a small solar security sign in my front yard. Press 1 if I want to place sign in my front yard or 2 to be placed on Do Not Call list." Another voice says the part "press 2 to be placed on DNC list which was kinda strange. WITH this scenario, you cannot win - no matter what you press, you can get slammed by somebody without any sign, system or anything. You'll agree to something totally different possibly! Obviously blocking this call. I DID NOT solicit their service, don't want it - whatever they have & I'm sick & tired of getting these damn calls! They target the old & ignorant with the threat of having crime in your neighborhood to start with and entice them to get a FREEBIE system which we all know is nonexistent. The last voice on the vmail was an addition just to get somebody to select a number for them to be able to do Lord knows what with it! NEVER PRESS A NUMBER OR KEY ON YOUR TELEPHONE KEYPAD - THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED! These people have to be crooks.
