Guy asks for me by name. Starts saying he's sure he's seen their signs in my neighborhood (nope) and they could be out tomorrow at 10 for my free roof assessment...

Slow your roll little man.

I said no thanks and hung up.

Scammers

Left automated message on answering machine stating basically that "....you have been removed from our list...".  This is a bogus call.  Unknown caller.  No requests have been made to be removed from anyone's list.   Caller ID just shows "Dallas TX".

Just got this call 30 sec ago.. sent it right to VM as caller ID said same thing, and the voicemail was 'your request..' yeah, whatever. junk.

Just received the same message - about "honoring" my request to be removed.
More slimeballs -- probably just sold my # to every other scumbag out there.

Cell phone just rang with this one at 16:30 CDT (22:30 UTC) on 21 July 2015. Left no message. It only differs by 2 digits from another scammer that I have set to silent ringtone, which called about 7 times over the past few days according to my missed call log. That number is 214-451-3165, which is one of the many aliases I have named "Scam 2". (yes, there is a Scam 1 and an entry for "Scam Cdn Phm1" through "Scam Cdn Phm3" because that bunch has called me from so many spoofed numbers).

I start with the "other", work back through fax, pager, and similar phone number entries for each scammer as they come up with another number, until all of the phone number slots are full, then create a new "contact" with a new suffix.

While it's a little more cumbersome, it is effective, as those "contacts" have a silent ringtone so they can call all day long in meetings, at customer sites, at 4 AM while I'm asleep, during the afternoon when in a school zone and answering the phone can bring a $500 fine, and it never bothers anyone.
