This number showed up a few days after a guy came to my house advising me that I have a right to choose my energy provider, which I already knew. Anyone else have this?
People...use your heads. Stop wasting time getting annoyed and filing complaints. I too am on the "Do Not Call List", but from time to time my caller ID shows I receive multiple calls per day from the same phone # over several weeks.
Simply call the # back, ask to speak with a supervisor, and confirm with them that they do not fall into one of the categories that are allowed to call you (i.e. political org, non-profit, survey/research, etc.) and then ask them to remove your number from their call list. If you get an automated greeting when you call, which I did, just press "0" for an attendant and then ask for a Supervisor.
Be firm, but don't be rude. I have always had success with this procedure.
Would love to see responses from those who try this.
These folks have been harassing me since last April. They called me 10/2, 10/8, 10/12, 10/13 and just now.
They must have called a gazillion times before I started recording their number down. My Vonage log will not record incoming calls that stop short of leaving a message, so I have no idea of the true number. Ignoring them obviously wasn't working well. I finally got seriously fed-up and started a log of when they called.
I did exactly what you suggested and am hopeful that the harassment will stop. They identified themselves as "Positive Energy." The lady who answered the phone let out a big sigh when I asked to speak to her Supervisor, as if saying; "Here I go again." She Identified herself as Abby, and was very professional. She apologized even.
After received almost daily calls, I called Positive Energy yesterday and asked to talk to the supervisor. He was very nice, and agreed to remove my name and number, and assured me I would get no further calls.
This morning - another call from Positive Energy asking me what electric company I'm using!
I've now filed a complaint with the National Do-Not-Call registry. This company is harassing me.
