Called today from Mike: "We are doing work on your street - then he named our street, ya-da ya-da." When I asked what the address is, since we live on a street with only 10 houses, it changed to "we are doing inspections in your area for house exteriors and dual paned windows. I told him we are on do not call list and don't need their services. He was actually quite polite, but giant red flags went up. Today is April 14, 2009, Fallbrook
I hear people in the background but nobody comes on the line. Very annoying. It sounds like a boiler room operation in the background. I'm pretty sure I'll track this number down and intend to strangle the caller in their sleep. ha
one more thing. I got another call just after posting previous message.
Caller asks for Mr. Bates.. I've had dozens if not hundreds of calls from this number over the last several years. There's obviously no Mr. Bates. That is just an excuse to get people talking. I am on the don't call list. I heard that its possible to sue these folks and make money.
Anyone now anything about this? I'd like to stick it to these [***]. I'm done venting for now.
Someone who is obviously not a native English speaker called and when I told him it was a bad time to talk, he repeatedly insisted on knowing when it would be a good time. I asked what he was selling and he started giving me a bunch of barely intelligible jabber, so I hung up. I do not recognize the caller ID.
