Got a call and the caller ID said Decorah IA. There was a pause then that computer transfer sound typical of a computer robodialer system kicked in. Then this lady with an Asian sounding accent starts talking. She tried to play it like they are doing energy audits in my area. That is quite a range for a company in Iowa. I started asking how they make money from this. She got a little confused. I said "How is the company able to pay her to come in to work?" She said it is completely free. I said yes so you then try to transfer our information to a BS contractor? She said no they provide me a report after a couple weeks. This went back and forth for a bit. I do like to waste scammers time if I have the time. This takes up their time so they can't scam as many people in the same time frame and highly recommend this. If you are reading this then you could do the same if you have a few minutes and reduce how many seniors are taken advantage of. After I got bored I informed her that should any of their people step foot on our property she has been warned and they will be handcuffed and placed face down in the front yard waiting for the police and charged with criminal trespassing. She quickly hung up.
Nobody is calling and offering you services for free. If you are reading this you likely already know this but please tell your less tech savvy friends and loved ones. They are getting paid somewhere. If they won't tell you where the money is coming from they are even worse human beings.
