"attention public utility customers ..." robot call just now
caller-id says from: 510-542-9280

spam call earlier today -- no voicemail, wouldn't have noticed it but I happened to check usage for today:

925-439-8689

That's a notorious spam caller, see 800notes.com

r0b, I just wanted to check to make sure that you have the spam call blocking enabled. Both of these numbers were included several months ago.

Thanks, yeah, it was coming in through my cell phone, and ATT wireless won't do anything about it. I forwarded it through my sonic number, and all is right as rain. Thanks Sonic!

just recorded music when I picked up the phone, with chatter in the background.
800-notes lists it as a known solar installer spam source

A useful explanation of why it's hard to block some of these scammers, why they keep calling back:

Some answers to the know-it-all comments:

MS didn't sue earlier because it's really hard to find a legal entity to sue. When you get one of these calls, the thing calling you is not directly attached to a land line. It's a software pbx system that may be running on a compromised machine in some part of the world. The call only gets connected to the person you talk to after you connect and the system determines you may be a real person willing to talk to someone. The calls get routed through compromised voip service providers, compromised pbx systems, or termination lines leased with false id and credit cards. By the time the provider knows what's happening, tens of thousands of calls have been made and the front end system just moves to another provider. As to "opting out" -- only legitimate telemarketing organizations bother with do not call lists. These asshats just random dial. It's cheaper.....
