Just got a call. No one on the other end. Why do they call if they don't even try to scam when someone answers?

Got the robo call and pressed 1 to reach a live person.  "Steve Brooks" explained that he was with GE Home Security.  I asked if he was employed by GE.  He replied "yes in the promotions department."  He told me they were targeting
seniors, etc.

I told "Steve" that I wanted to check further the company and he suggested I look up Monitronics which is their
monitoring company.  He gave me a call back number of 714-418-6834.....so if any of you are on the Do Not Call
Registry and get a call from these people, you can just call "Steve" at the 714 number.....he answers it.  Let him know
how you feel about the invasion of privacy and his company's disregard for the law.

So much for Indiana's do not call list huh??

Well i tried something different, everytime i see the same number and i check here, I pick up the phone i don't say anything and blast music into the phone.  LOL it just made them mad though.  but it just pisses me off everyone typing here  is just so sick of this, im running out of options, everytime i try to block a number i don't recognize they just call back on a different number.  I blocked a number with my att u verse then a number calls back unavailable with the number 1 so i can't block it.  Some computer geek needs to find a way to stop all these harrassing calls, so sick and tired of this bull!!!  It so needs to stop. Im worried about my in law who is old and doesn't have caller id, doesn't believe in caller id, doesn't own a computer, he will get caught up in one of these scams.  There is not a darn thing you can do about it till its too late even then you will never find the person who is scamming you.  It just makes me ill.

Same old, same old. Caller ID: "Out-of-area" - this time. I don't answer any calls - but, I do review my messages.
