Who called from 2012152822

Scam to switch electric and gas providers

After picking up the phone, there was about a 2 minute silence, with no response, followed by a computerized voice that said "Bye bye." We have had at least 10 calls from this number these past few days and according to reverse look-up the number seems to be a land line based in Bayonne, NJ.

Today (10/28/2011) I just confirmed registration of my home and cell phone numbers to the DoNotCall.gov registry, indicated below, so we'll see whether this has any effect.

If there is no effect, I will submit an official complaint to either the FCC or DoNotCall.gov, though I do not know which, and what circumstances are necessary in order to file.

I called the number above, using Google Voice, to mask my true number, and it asked me to enter an extension number of a person if I knew of it, or hit zero should I want to speak to a customer representative. The automated message advised that they were open from 10AM until 9PM, I believe. I hit zero to have my name removed and waited for over 5-minutes, at which point I gave up, despite being coaxed by the automated system that I was the next to be serviced. (I wasn't interested in wasting cellular minutes for what seemed to be, at onset, a deceptive manipulation method of having callers waiting for a person who would never answer in person.) If someone with some time and patience could try the number above, and post it here it might be useful. I have neither, so simply registered myself to the DoNotCall.gov registry (for now).

Called and complained. They say they will take me off their call list.

The company calling is IDT Energy Telemarketers.

The CEO is Mr. Geoffrey Rochwarger.
