Got this same call today along with one from (810) 224-5027, ... same "boiler-room" Telemarketers (TM's). They call "on behalf of" whomEver will pay them for their questionable, harassing and annoying "services". It's just a Big S-C-A-M !! Do NOT even answer them! Just pick-up to stop the ringing and then IMMEDIATELY hang-up on them, do NOT say anything at all! "Rude", you say? THEY are the rude ones. You do NOT have to be nice to them at all. YOU own your phone, Not them. Besides, you're just breaking the connection.
You can also call directly to the businesses that use these TM's and let them know you will be boycotting their business and you will be getting all your friends to do the same, because THEY have hired these annoying scammers to harass us.
We have a program on our computer (PhoneTray Free v1.39) that logs and handles all our incoming calls the way We decide. They are both now on our "Privacy Manager" list, along with more than 300 other numbers, to be 'managed' by our 'puter. They won't get through any more so we don't have to be bothered, at least by them, ever again. I just love technology when it can be used against these pitiful parasites that are just wasting good air. Don't you?
