It's been a long time since this scammer has bothered me: last time was the end of last year, I remember them because they were particularly irritating, calling from more than one CID, but it was always the same people. I remember I could hear other voices, like a boilerplate room. They use different numbers but always claim to be selling either solar or window treatments, as I recall... The [***] woke me up from a nap today, I ignored the call, but this was an irritation to me today because I really needed some sleep. I often remember some part of a scammer's CID, usually the number suffix, but this time I actually remembered the suffix plus their CID name. Out of curiousity I called the number from my prepaid anonymous cell phone, and got a recording saying to press 9 to be taken off their list. Unfortunately, the number their machine was reading was my cell phone, whereas they'd bothered me by calling my landline. I would bet that's a deliberate oversight on their part, and wouldn't work anyway because they are criminals and wouldn't pay attention to any of your requests, so their offer to desist would be hollow, My advice is to ignore them. They were pretty bothersome, for me to remember them all the way from last year. I even remember them being nasty to me at that time. They're like gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe: just don't answer or you'll never scrape them off! LOL!
It's a working number, but a real scammer. It's either a real number or it might be phished, that part I don't know vecausemit ignored the call, but it's definitely not spoofed, the line is active. See my entry below.
.... So I guess they're revving up to harass me repeatedly again, like they did last year, because they just tried again today. It's okay, they'll fade away like they did last year, after a while. At least they're unimaginative and predictable, therefore easy to recognize on CID and just ignore. Very few of these scammers are actually clever.
