(818) 291-9343

An unwanted call from this Glendale number arrived today. When the answering machine picked up, there was dead silence -- a strong sign of robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) who shamelessly prey on the public.

The perpetrator purports to be Cinelease, a firm that leases lighting and grip equipment to production companies, but this may be a stolen identity, since the real company's phone number is (855) 441-5500. The website www.whitepages.com describes this impostor as "scam or fraud." Case closed!
