just got a call from this # on my cell. Says its from IL. Didn't answer. Have gotten call from this # once before. I'm getting annoyed because I'm registered on the National Don't Call Register. They don't leave a message but guess it doesn't matter if they are advertisers/marketers. How/who can we all complain to about these telemarketing annoyances that cost us time and money!!!!!!! They prey on people and they're disgusting scams. A friend my [***]. I try very hard not to allow "3rd party" access to my personal info so they can intrude on my life. So, I'm asking, could our telephone servers be selling our info now?
"You have received this call because a friend has told us about you. We are giving you free information on how to be a contractor." This is to my cell phone. The recording wouldn't stop, so I hit zero on the keypad to see if I could talk to a real person and immediately the call was disconnected.
Just got the same call and message as Y.R. (first post)annoying but my brother is a contracter so I don't know if he used my number for something or what.
Call showed it originated in Illinois on my caller ID. When I called the number back from a land line, It was answered "Thank you for calling the California Contractors Licensing Division. If you know your parties extension you may dial it at any time" Of coure it went into dead air after that. Contacted the California State Contracting License Board and was told that the call was BOGUS!!
I hung up right after "You have received this call because a friend has told us about you...." Hummm... I wonder if I'll be charged for receiving the call... Well at least they didn't block their number, so I was able to find this website and the information 'bout 'em!
