Another Scam

[cornutt]

So yeah, caller ID is useless now because there are so many tricks the robocallers and scammers can use to put anything they want in it. The FCC is talking to the carriers about redesigning and reforming the system. We're actually thinking about dropping our land lines; it would save us about $100 per month. I might keep one line with absolutely no features so the alarm system can dial out, but there is a way to connect it to a cell phone too -- I need to look at some family plans from the cell carrier so that I can have a third number for the alarm system to use. Then we could just drop land lines. And AT&T's billing just pisses me off because they have fees on top of fees on top of fees and you can't tell what you are paying for.

There are fees on any communications service.

 

My security system has a cell phone connected to it and if someone tries to yank it off the panel, not only does it set off the system, it it has a GPS feature so they will be found if they take it.
