Telemarketer threatens to blow up house after homeowner hangs up

Telemarketers: They call at inopportune times, try to sell you products you don’t need and … threaten to blow up your house? It happened to a homeowner in Mead, Colo., according to police. The telemarketer, angry he’d been hung up on, called back to say he’d planted a bomb in said hanger-uppers home. The homeowner immediately called 911 and was told to evacuate, as were the people in several surrounding homes. Police are now trying to trace the number, which they believe came from overseas. “[Telemarketers] are just pretty pushy, I guess.” said an officer on the scene. Umm, ya think?  [Source]
