I just got a call from this number. I did not answer and they did not leave a message. Since they did not leave a message I assume they are telemarketers and so I have added this number to my blocked call list.
My phone number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry since August 2003 so if they are telemarketers, they are violating the law.
To block calls like this I got a Panasonic KX-TGE245B that allows me to block up to 250 numbers and/or area-codes. Panasonic has several new 2014 models that will block that many numbers. You simply save the CID to the blocked list. You can also block area codes by adding them to what they call a “Range List” (you are blocking the range of numbers starting with that area code).
So East Coast Chimney is still violating the DO NOT CALL list. Filing formal charges with FCC and The CT Office Consumer Protect, Attorney General's Office.
I'd like to add my .02, since East Coast just called me and I'm also on the do not call list. So, stop calling everyone!! Besides, if you were not a scammer, you would send out mailers like every other business that's interested in building up a client list instead of breaking the law!
"East Coast Contracting" calling to sell chimney cleaning. They provide this (a cell phone number) as their call back number, and claim to be at 125 Main St in Westport, CT. (Note: not a real address for them. That address is a hair salon and office building.) They do not observe the do not call list. They just call everyone in the phone book. They assume that they will never get caught... and so far this has always been the case!
Please, do what I did. Accept their offer of a chimney cleaning, make an appointment, and then give them an adress that doesn't exist or a time that you won't be home. If we can make close to 100% of their service calls unfruitful, perhaps they will eventually give up this scam.
we are on do not call list. " east coast cont" calls every day (203 957 1299) cell ct, aggravating robo calls violating our privacy. We have disconnected land phone. Not good for our friends, we receive the calls on fax machine ! Our age is over 80 disgusting to be without land line
