Call received from a man that sounded like he was sitting somewhere with really loud hip hop playing in the background in Spanish. Offered some air conditioning deal. Hung up right when I said I'm not interested, and before I could ask how he was able to call my cellphone. Likely to be cold-calling from a list.
Did not leave a message. After this number called, almost immediately following a hidden number called with the recorded scam message "to lower your credit...".

These people are scammers pretending to be licensed contractors. They are cold calling people on the do-not-call list. The stupidity of these people is amazing. They knew my address (from public phone records) so they should've known I was in an area too cold to need air conditioning. Why they are offering to fix AC units in my area, I have no idea!
Even though they repeatedly stated they are "licensed, bonded and insured", they would not provide a contractor's license number and the "technician" on the phone didn't know what an H.I.S. number was and would not provide one. She gave a website which looked fake and did not have a contractor's license number on it as required by law. The California State License Board database did not have a listing for the business she was claiming to represent.
