The usual predatory/scam home improvement call. If I had been home when they called, I would have sent them to another location - any location. But you have to be convincing...they already know your name and your address when they call you. Know that they can and will google any address you give them.
It's astonishing how much info is available on YOU - just google yourself!
They also come here to 800 NOTES! Just recently, I had one of the telemarketer/scammers reply to one of my post (on 800 NOTES) with a veiled threat.
Have added these fools to my block list. I have the new Panasonic phone that blocks 250 numbers...and it's slowly filling up. No worries when it does fill up, I will simply delete the oldest numbers.
On my business lines, I have the Digitone blocker. This little device blocks individual numbers and it can BLOCK ENTIRE AREA CODES. Presently, I have 34 area codes blocked along with numerous telemarketer numbers.
answered the 12:30pm call. First red flag: he doesn't get my name right.
He said he was from National Contractors.
Me: Where are you located?
Him: We are located somewhere in California. Really??
Asked me if I was planning to do any work on the house.
I said No. And next thing I hear is "Click"
Called me at 12:39 and hung up. National Contractors? What in the hell is that? I found one contractor with an active license in Minnetonka, CA. It's some small little burg outside of yet a smaller burg, Indio, CA.

I agree, it's pointless trying to out-manoever them. They are expert scammers and have all the time in the world to continue the aggravation. Best to just block, report and ignore them. They are morons.
