I am on the Do Not Call registry. This number has been call every day for two months. I've picked up several times and followed the automated message instruction to press #3 to be removed from their calling list. Despite making this request, I still receive calls. Today I received a call and this time I pressed #5 to speak to a representative. When she came on the line I told her I've requested them to stop calling on several occassions yet still receive calls. She said she'd remove my number from their lists and hurried off the phone....we'll see.....
Calls three or four times a day. They never leave a message. When I called the number back, the auto voice told me I could "opt out," but there is no way I'm going to leave them any information on an automated system. It's ridiculous.
they called me 3 times yesterday morning between 9 and 11am. then they called again today and hung up. when i do pick up, its a recorded woman's voice asking to speak with the person who takes care of the electric bill. The caller ID says, "Electric Company" so you think its your utility company,. They then say how they are going to "Save you money" - omg! stop calling ..... I ACTUALLY ALREADY USE YOUR SERVICE! (well, not theirs, but i am using a 3rd party power provider, so stop calling me) i used their "press 3 to be removed" but that doens't work, they keep calling!
here is what they are selling... in NJ, a new law was passed like 2 years ago, that would prevent your power provider from being the only one to provide power. So I have JCP&L - they do 2 things: Generate the power and deliver the power. Now, after this new law, ANYONE can generate power and see it. JCPL still delivers it. So how it works is that i was paying 12 cents per kwh on my power bill, plus delivery of like 10 cents. I switched to a 3rd party provider, and now pay 10cents per kwh plus 10c for delivery by JCPL/ its all on the same bill. I saved 2 cents per kill-a-watt- hour. That's about $20 per month for me since I run the AC a lot, and have a lot of things turned on all day. So now, there is HUGE competitionf and they are even getting my neighbors to "tell a friend" - its like a feeding frenzy of new business in a starving economy. So that's what all this is for. So in my case, i am buying from someone already, but they still call me because they want me to switch to them.
