This is the SECOND call we have received from these people. Their schpeil is that there is some 'widely publicized electric rate reduction' that 'my electric company' is aware of, etc. They also claimed that we should have received, in our electric bill, notification of this rate reduction. When I said we did not receive that, & that I had not heard about it they went into their pitch. Neither time they called could they even name my electric company (in fact they named the wrong company on the 2nd call) nor did either of the callers identify themselves or their company. When they were told that we were uncomfortable with the call, they initially pushed a little, but ultimately just hung up. I really don't know what their agenda is, but i thought they may be looking to 'sell' electrical rate contracts or something. But if that were the case, they would not be a)hanging up on prospective customers, b)they would have our info & freely give their own. Oh, and PS - we're in New York, thank you, plus ALL of our numbers are registered on the National do not call list - to which i have reported these schmucks!
I answered the call and a man asked for the person responsible for paying the electric bill. I said that it was me. Somehow the man was able to locate my full name. Maybe they found it in the local telephone listing. He asked me if I received a notice with my electric bill about a discount. I played along and said yes and then I hung up before he could go any further.
Same call - asked to speak with the "person in charge of your electric bills". She claimed it was NOT a sales call, she was calling from "North American Power". When I informed her I was on the do-not-call list she said "I'm not selling you anything, I'm offering to reduce your electric bill." She has been reported.
I just got the same call "Can I speak to who is in charge of paying the electric bill?". Either telemarketer,,,or a scam. The fact they didn't know my name tells me scam. Don't give them any info.
