Robo call recorded 23 July 2013 (FBI crime stats, "Free" Alarm system with small sign scam robo call)
Caller ID: "Bronxville NY" using (914) 530-2331 and (914) 530-2333
Here we go again with the "...if you'll allow us to place a small sign in your yard..." free alarm offer. Now they're using a new number that I haven't previously blocked.
These people aren't even consistent with their instructions, one place it's "press 2 for Do Not Call" elsewhere it's "press 9 for do not call"...no matter what you press, a live person comes on and asks if you're interested in getting their "free" alarm.
"<female voice>The FBI reports there was a home break in every 15 seconds. Your local police recommend you protect your home. If you will allow us to place a small sign in your yard, we will install a new security system at absolutely no cost to you whatsoever. There is no cost for the system or the installation whatsoever. To hear more, press 1 now. To be placed on our Do Not Call list, press 9. <male voice> If you would like your phone number removed, press 2 now, otherwise press 1 to speak to a representative. Thank you." (repeated 2 more times)
Thanks to Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice ) you can hear the recording on my Spam Calls web page:
Same junk call. It won't matter to report it. Government is incompetent. Why does government have to tap all the innocent citizen's phone calls, but can't even take care of this kind of call? What purpose do they serve?
These calls can be used to determine when people are home or not, to provide information to local gangs for break-ins. They are no different than terrorist.
A proposal to congress to fund High School Students to trace these calls down (for a reward per successful trace) was made to Congress. Congress had lobbies from civil servants not to allow competition.
Look at where this got us.
This phone number calls all the time, sometimes six times per day. While I m at work my phone goes off and its them. I have pressed, #2, #9 so that I am on their "do not call list", but it doesn't seem to matter they keep calling. Someone should do something about that place. I was in the bathroom at the movies and heard a woman complaining to someone, she was crying to the person saying she did not know what to do about it and she wanted to call the police. I couldn't believe someone else was being harassed by this number also.
