Have been getting calls from this number for MONTHS. Answered it a few weeks ago. Person said they were a chimney cleaning service. I told them I didn't need this service and to not call again, and to also remove my name from their calling lists. Received 3 more calls from this number, and I decided to pick it up again. The person was very polite but really wanted to talk to my husband. I asked where he was calling from, and he said "chimco", a chimney cleaning service. I told him that we had already been contacted and that we didn't need this service. I again asked to be removed from their calling list. I doubt that will happen. I think they will keep trying until they reach my husband (they will be sorry they did!). The husband of one of my coworkers is a firefighter in this city, and he said they've been calling people, alarming them about possible fire hazards, etc., and he said it is a scam to get you to buy their service. I wish the National DO NOT CALL service would do a better job at preventing these annoying calls.
It's also a trick to get your personal information. They may stop calling if they get no answer of any kind after a while. They're hoping you'll eventually find their offer too good to pass up and fork out your info. If this were an 'honest' service, they'd abide by the list. Since evil intent is their motive, they don't care about it. The list works for what it was meant to.
Yup, a call from "Chimco" to clean my furnace... saying they are a fire safety company and the $40 special is only good through Saturday, then it goes up to $90. You have to push them to give you a company name.
