same here - contractor call, who said he was with the city of MV regarding contracts and home improvements. I asked he verify he was with the city and he hung up
Called and hung up immediately when I answered... Probably after realizing we're on the National Do Not Call List (which is basically USELESS getting Telemarketers to stop calling),
I called back and the number is disconnected - sure sign of scammer!
I was finally home in the afternoon to pick up this routine scam call. This time HE called as my husband was pulling out of the driveway for work! Since I live in the same area code, I felt a little unsafe that the dude was sitting outside my house or something (just a little paranoid!). Guy said he was local contractor and that I had spoken to him about a remodel. Yea right. My house is completely remodeled already! I told him NO, I have never met him, I'm reporting him to the police immediately and if he calls back, I will have police show up at his house. No call back since.
