Name portion of the caller id said: Unassigned. I didn't pick up because I don't know anyone with that area code. The call came in 10/14/16 at 1:27pm. Though I didn't pick up the phone, I have rcvd phone calls from other numbers calling about an ad "I' have seen on tv ... how they hell do they know what ad I've seen on tv? ... I don't have cable. I have not continue to listen & just hung up. If it's a medicare scam, I don't get medicare. I am in the age group to deal w/medicare, I don't get it because I don't qualify. I think they have a list of people in that medicare age-eligible group.
Give me enough time and I will be able to randomly call your #. Or, your # might be the 1st # I ever call. If I connect I don't know who you are and where you live when I connect. I'm just fishing with dynamite.
Mine data? Only if you are stupid enough to give them a reason.
You'd think they would also mine data me when I get ahold of a person on the other end and them to go F**k themselves. I would think a "Go F**k yourself" would be a legitimate data point in NOT wasting their time calling over and over again. Why call someone who is belligerent when the person they call is on record as hostile to what they are offering?
I guess the sophisticated scammers aren't that sophisticated.
Sir, you are 101 % correct in your analysis. Follow the money. It's a sad state of affairs with so many , including our government, involved in these big money scams.
