Got a call from them at 6:00 p.m. but didn't answer, thanks to Caller ID.
I thought I'd call them back, just to see what happened, and if anyone answered then I'd ask them to take me off their call list.
When I called though, I heard nothing. No sound at all. It was just like dead air. I've never had this happen to me before with any call. After about a minute, I got a fast busy signal (I think the fast busy is something the phone company does though).
Recently my mom My mom filled out one of those trick advertisements online though, saying she'd get $500 in coupons from Home Depot, Applebee's Red Lobster, etc, and not being very computer/internet/savvy (she's 75 y/o), she proceeded to enter all information honesty, not knowing what lay in store if she did that.
She then began getting bombarded with tons of useless spam and put on lists she cannot get off of even though she's been asking everyone to take her off their list. Some of them have no way to unsubscribe from them.
I don't know if this call is related to that or not. We got a call from one of them.
I'm afraid this may only be the beginning. These trick advertisers/spammers waste so much of their time involved in these types of activities when they could be doing something productive rather than just trying to trick people and then bugging them to buy useless crap and getting them involved in what has to be either pyramid schemes, Amway, and crap like that.
