Dont usually answer these types of UNK callers but I picked up one day
and asked the sales guy to remove my number from his list. He became very abusive
and called me an fxxxxxn bxxxxh and slammed the phone done
First off it is a junk call trying to solicit Solar to Edison Customers. You know you don't want to deal with companies that (1) call you first... If you wanted their service you would find them! (2) Robo Dial you and don't even answer for 10 to 20 seconds or more. They obviously don't put you as a priority while violating FCC and FTC laws to call. (3) Their business practice is to violate the FCC and FTC Laws. Why would you want to do business with anyone that starts off an attempted business relationship when they start by breaking the law. Is this who you want to trust your $$$ with or invite in to your home to provide any service?
Since the government won't do anything there needs to just be a homefront campaign where people let these people know "I won't do business with you because your employer uses illegal practices and is not welcome in my life." When an employee acts as though they weren't aware of this then I often tell them "Your employer has you taking part in illegal activity. Either you didn't know and you should inform your employer how you feel about it and quit and report them or you did know and are just as guilty. Followed by the question. How do you feel when people call you or your family with these types of calls from an unknown source? I wish the government would catch these people and install a personal explosive implant that the next time they put a magnet such as a phone speaker to their ear their head will explode. This would eventually solve the problem of these calls and good for entertainment value.
Instead what we need that is more likely is legislation that forces phone companies to implement hardware and software that confirms the caller phone # and the customer can opt in or out of receiving unconfirmed callers. Then hold communications companies responsible for providing services to for illegal use. The phone company could electronically monitor unusual calling patterns like robo calling down a list and unusually high calling patterns including to #s on the Do Not Call registry. The phone companies don't say they encourage solicitors to use their services and will actually put in writing it is a violation of their terms of service but will not assist you in identifying the true customers name if you catch a violator and track the # back to the service provider. They know and are profiting as well.
