It was a voice activated recording. Just got a call. The recording starts when you say hello. First words were "hi, how are you today". I responded fine and after a pause the recording responded "glad to hear that" and then launched into a spiel about a reverse mortgage. Halfway through the spiel, the recording asked if i was familiar with the reverse mortgage and then paused for my response. If you respond with one of the programmed responses, it responds accordingly. I happened to ask if she wanted to have sex with me and after a short pause I got the same programmed monotone saying "ok, thank you, have a nice day". Unfortunately, we have to answer the phone because my husband is a victim of identity theft and we keep getting strange calls regarding accounts the thief has tried to open. Because we have a fraud alert on his credit we get called each time there is an attempt. We figure we might as well have fun with the telemarketer calls
Be sure and report the called number and information to the DNC list ... when they get enough information and close enough they can hopefully track them down and toss their butts in jail. If they are not informed, they do not know these pervert crooks are out there trying to steal our money -- especially those of seniors. When DNC has your name, city, state, time, date and they can link them all together it helps them get a tracking on these jerks. Someone commented: .... what good is the list and a unlisted number with all these robo dialers being used to by pass the list. Answer: Crooks do not bypass the list, they ignore the list. Thieves steal your car or anything they can remember. Illegal is as illegal does. Report them.
