They may identify themselves with generic names such as “Security One” or “Home Security” but really it’s just a low-end security system salesman, perhaps from a place called Mac Marketing. If you don’t answer, you’ll may just get dead air, if anything. If you do answer, you will likely get a voice-activated robo-caller asking you if they can install their security system in your home, perhaps in exchange for putting a sign in your front yard. This is a relatively old bait-and-switch technique. Read this post about the “Free Security System Yard Sign Scam” that will describe how this operates.

Calling the number back from a blocked phone will yield the message that your number can’t be determined and to call back with an unblocked number so you can opt out of future calls.

I received a call from 578-121-8324. The lady said her name was Sylvia and I was getting a $100.00 Walmart gift card for a survey I completed online. She proceeded to tell me to go to my computer and access wakanetwork.com and she would walk me thru the steps. I immediately asked “Sylvia” if this was going to require bank account information and she avoided that question and started elaborating on their secure website. During this conversation I asked her to repeat a couple things and there would be a pause followed by a generic answer. My suspicion was confirmed that “Sylvia” was a computer, not a person and a total scam. I advised “Sylvia” that I knew I was talking to a computer and hung up.
