called. left no message.  caller id says, "home security"

This company calls numbers on the national do-not-call registry, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In addition, they play a recorded message without an operator on the line when the phone is answered - also a violation of the TCPA. The recording claims that you are eligible for a free home security system, and that it is required by local law enforcement (and recommended by the FBI). Then when you do get to an operator, the operator refuses to provide a phone number or address when asked (again a violation of the TCPA - but also something that 100% of legitimate businesses will gladly do). This is clearly a scam. They are making unfounded claims about local law enforcement, and refuse to provide any information to identify their organization or allow you to contact them. Do not provide these scammers with any of your personal information.

I just received a recorded message regarding a receiving a free home security system for placing a sign in the yard.  (This call was received at my employer's office.  I work for a national publishing company.) I selected to be removed from their call list so we'll see what happens.

Received this call and it hung up before the fourth ring when my answering machine will answer, therefore it is an autodialer. An autodialer hangs up shortly after the first person answers. I never answer calls from numbers I do not know.

calls all the time, no msg. we need to get some "home" phone numbers for some of these fools. i am on the do not call list, too. like that matters.
