CID showed "Newtonville MA". One of those automated scamming calls that ask you a question to get you to say "yes" or "OK" or other such affirmation. Exact quote from the message: "I'm sorry, but I just didn't hear that last part. (chuckles) I just wanted to ask you a few questions to see if you still qualify for this program, is that OK? (pause) Let me just ask you a few questions just to see if you still qualify for this program, is that OK? (pause) Thank you for your time, and have a nice day!"
The AI comes across as a perky young lady. The "program" I'm supposed to qualify for is never mentioned. AI also ignores SIT (Special Information Tone... the three tones you'd hear if a number was not in service) I have at the beginning of my message.
This scam has been mentioned (fairly) recently in the news. Say nothing. The AI sounds real, but if the chatbot that answered my phone was a real person, she would have hung up when she heard my answering machine.
Got a call from this number in the middle of Sunday afternoon, didn't answer, no message left, seems to be a plumber service, think they may be cold-calling looking for new customers??
