Sep 28: "Jen" with satellite TV scam

"Hi. This is Jen calling to set up delivery and installation of your new digital home satellite TV system. Because we're doing installations in your neighborhood right now, you can get free installation and a four room digital satellite TV system for free. This system also includes free DVR receivers. You know, like tivo? Which is awesome. To learn more, press one on your phone right now. This is by far the best deal, saving you on average over four hundred dollars per year compared to cable rates. Once again, to learn more and to be connected to one of our agents, press one on your phone right now."

I say this is a scam because the message doesn't identify who it's from. "Jen" may or may not be the speaker's real name, and it doesn't really identify her, not that her identity is relevant. What makes it a scam is the outfit doing the satellite TV installations and whatever other crap they are selling is not identified in the message.
