I just got a call and the guy said his company is a contracting company that "works closely with home depot and Lowes". I think not. How did this bozo get my number?
Also this is a fake spoofed number. JERKS- beware dishonest scammer after us as usual.
This appeared to be a local number so I answered. I was about to hang up after no response to several "Hellos" when someone came on and addressed me by my first name. No recognition, but lots of telemarketers do that. Then he asked if I was the (name) who had lots of wild and crazy toga parties in the '70's. Well, I never did, but I wondered if perhaps it was someone from my past, though I didn't recognize the voice, so I asked who was calling. At that point the person started in on a spiel about being a local contractor with 30 years experience. That's when I cut him off and hung up. If this company thought that was a way to get work, they're dead wrong. That kind of false familiarity merely pissed me off, rather than create any kind of connection for them to exploit.
