This is another one of those free security system scams robocall. The caller ID says Kent, WA.
They start out by telling you the FBI statistics on breaksins & bla, bla, bla. Press 1 to talk to an operator. Press 2 to be removed from our calling list. I kept pressing 2 each time but a week later the calls started again. I got so sick of these calls at all hours of the day 7 days a week that I pressed 1 to talk to an operator. As soon as I told her to remove me from the calling list, she hung up. I then decided to try calling the number back. It was an Opt-out robo service. I entered their number then my number and was confirmed that in 24 to 72 hours my number would be removed from their calling list. Guess what. A week later the calls began again. I've done this three times but they still call again a week later.
Because it's a robocall done by a computer, it does no good to blow a whistle or just hang up. Nothing seems to stop these people.
There is a local attorney who advertises law suits against these callers. I'm now keeping track of all calls in a spreadsheet log and my calls to them to opt out. I'm even recording their calls now. When I have about 10 calls logged, I'm going to sue them. Because they call across state lines, this is a federal offense. If enough of us sue them, maybe it will stop.
