If anyone calls with a pre recorded message, there breaking the law. It is illegal but for political, and they must provide either a phone number or address to reach them.
So, those calls are ALL scams with prerecorded message right off the bat.
I thought this was just another one of those scam phone calls i constantly get. When i was connected to a live person they were really nice and really did help me lower my interest rates. They werent able to reduce them on all my cards but on my highest card they did and helped me pay off one of my cards with another card at 0%. There are probably many scam companies out there but this isnt one of them.
Same scum, different Spoofed number - 972 597-2755 Caller ID "Info Survey" - Typical scum bag human sewage scam call... Augmented a "big red button" call blocker with a Sentry Ver 2.2 Call Blocker over a month ago - the Sentry is the newest form and has better tech than the old reliable CPR Big Red Button Ver2 Blocker that's been in service since late June '14. The Sentry blocks ALL the incoming trash that's hit it so far, if it maintains the length of service the CPR has demonstrated it is the better unit to have... Having both does have a few nice effects - the CPR keeps a running total on what number has called how may times - current "winner" is 43 calls blocked from the same number.
The jackturds that do this crap keep changing the spoofed number and trying tricky crap in the dialing string to get past the blockers but it doesn't work ;> The CRP Blocker sometimes sees 3 to 8 digits (not an actual phone number) after the call when the last incoming call's number is added to the blocked list - The Sentry Blocker just plain dumps their calls to the crap pile...
It is great to have the turds get shunted straight to the SCREW U bucket with the Blockers doing their thing :>
Tempting as it might be, it's best to NEVER answer these turd's calls and engage them - it only puts your number on the auto dialer's "call more" list since it confirms the auto dialed number used is a "live number" with a possible sucker on the end... They could not give a crap less if you ask to be "Taken off the list...."
A "no one there" call is what I interpret as a "probe" call just to see if there is a pickup or answering machine worth calling back. It's mostly all automated so the scum just act as drones waiting for a pickup and possibly a voice - I still get lots of the one time "probe" type calls followed with a few that are repeat call numbers for a few weeks then all the numbers and CIDs get changed to different ones to try for all new people they can try and defraud.
Too bad there is no listing in the "Call Type" that actually matches the real manner of the scum making the calls - there should be at least "Scammer" in the list.... Some where there may be an actual valid telemarketer making unwanted calls...and that's the only case that "telemarketer" really fits...
Since this is "redneck" texas you think with all the floods they had lately you would think they would be more worried about the home ,apt. Or jail cell that got flooded???????????????????????
