I got a call yesterday (10/8/11) from this number and my caller ID showed Mike Parrotta.....I, too live in upstate SC and have no idea who this person is....
I too just call from this number. The only reason I answered was because my caller ID said ,"parrotta, mi
" being I have family in MI , I thought it was a Michigan call. I answered and kept saying Hello, hello and he didn't answer but just sat there and finally hung up. I too called back. The vm said it was the South Carolina Firefighters Assoc.By reading previous posts I too feel it is a scam and should be investigated!!!!
This classy "gentleman" called my home this afternoon at 4:30. He said he was from the "professional firefighters" blahblahblah. I stated it was not a good time as we were eating dinner. The jerk then said "You are eating dinner at 4:30?". Of course, we weren't. However, I let him know what he could do with himself and his level of professionalism.
We are on the DNC list but still get calls from "non profits" and the like. I have never encountered any telemarketer that was that.......rude (to put it nicely).
I get phone calls EVERY day from this number. He is very rude, asks for owner, and hangs up on me every time I ask what this is in reference to. Not sure how to get all our numbers off his calling list, but its extrememely rude and disruptive.
