Similar to the above recieved the call. They asked for someone by the family name (ex.. Mr or Mrs .....). I asked him to identify himself. He said it was Shawn from Design Center. He also went on quickly to say they will be on my street (they identified the street we are on) doing estimates. I asked how he got my #. He said it popped up on his screen. I then asked "So this is a soliciting call?" before allowing him to divert from answering I pointed out that we were on the do not call list and this call was illegal. I brought up that he knew were I lived. I pointed out this sounded like it was bordering STALKING. I did this to point out this can be escalated.
LETS FACE IT THE DO NOT CALL LIST DOES NOT WORK. IF YOU WANT THIS TO WORK ANYTIME YOU INTERACT WITH ANY POLITICIAN PUSH THEM TO FORCE LEGISLATURE THAT FORCES THE PHONE COMPANIES TO DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY AND USE IT THAT CONFIRMS AND ONLY SHOWS ACTUAL CALLER ID. IF THE CALLER ID CAN NOT BE CONFIRMED ACCURATE IT SHOULD BE BLOCKED AND LOGGED. IF THIS HAPPENS THEN THE PHONE COMPANIES CAN NO LONGER LEGALLY ASSIST THESE SCAM ARTISTS IN MAKING ILLEGAL PHONE CALLS. THE PHONE COMPANIES DO NOT WANT THESE CALLS TO STOP BECAUSE THEY MAKE MONEY FROM THEM!!!
Got a call from Caller ID Showing the number both as the Calling Number and Caller ID. It showed (562)996--8991. Answered the phone and the person asked for someone in the house. I asked who was calling. They said it was Shawn at Design Center. I asked him if this was a soliciting call. Without denying it was a soliciting call he tried to change the wording to say "It is an offer call". WTF? I informed him we were on the do not call list and we did not want to do business with him!
LETS START TELLING THE FEDS TO FORGET THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST... IT HAS FAILED! Make it mandatory that the phone companies implement technology that will only show the actual caller ID and not a fake one.
ATTN SCAM CALLERS... If you can't follow simple rules for doing business why would you think I want you in my home? If you want a job full of lies get an elected job in the government!
The number (562)996-8991 came up on our caller ID. When i answered, there was just static then a click disconnecting the line. When I called the number back, the recording said that the number is no longer in service. We're on the do not call list. I wish someone could tell us who to call to make these people stop calling. We get these types of calls several times a week...what a pain.
