Hate telemarketers? At least yours didn't threaten to blow up your house
Telemarketer Threatens To Blow Up Home
By Lance Hernandez and Deb Stanley
GREELEY, Colo. -- The Weld County Sheriff's Office is trying to track down the phone number of a telemarketer who they say threatened the life of a homeowner in Mead.

Sgt. Tim Schwartz told 7NEWS that the homeowner received a call from the telemarketer Tuesday evening.

"The telemarketer was explaining to him that he had won some money," Schwartz said. "The homeowner was not interested and hung up the phone."

Schwartz said the telemarketer called back immediately "and got pretty rude, telling the homeowner, `I've placed a bomb in your house.'"

The homeowner, who declined an on-camera interview, told 7NEWS, "I think the call came from overseas. He had a very thick accent."

After hearing the threat, the homeowner called 911.

Authorities responded and evacuated nearby homes while searching the victim's house.
