Yes - I got a call from this number. My caller ID said "wireless caller" but I picked up and it was the same automated message talking about statistics from the fire department, and then asks if I needed some security service, or would be willing to put a sign in my yard. I have received these calls (from different phone numbers, but with the same automated message) to my home landline, now over 15x in the last 3 weeks; and I am already on a do not call list which was renewed in January 2012.
There is an option to press 1 to hear more, or to press 2 to be removed from this list. The first 14 calls, I pressed 2. After not being removed, and receiving this call just 15 mins ago, I decided to press 1. I got another very brief automated message and then "Mike" came on the line. Here is how the conversation went:
Mike: Hi, thanks for showing interest in our services.
CC1: Hi! can you tell me who I am speaking with?
Mike: I am Mike.
CC1: Hi Mike! What company is calling me today?
Mike: I am with "Security Promotions".
CC1: Thanks for that, and where are is your company based?
Mike: North Carolina,
CC1: Ok, where in NC?
Mike: Charlotte, but we operate all over the nation.
CC1: Do you have a website url I can check out and a phone number I can call back on in case we are disconnected?
Mike: No, I don't. Anything you need, I can share with you.
CC1: Really? A nation-wide company doesn't have a website for consumers to take a look at?
Mike: Hangs up.
I was chipper and friendly the whole time, as my aim was to find out who has been repeatedly calling and harassing my elderly parents in their home, and to make a formal complaint. I called the operator to see how to make a formal complaint on this "company".
