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!
got a phone call from this number today @ 4:59pm EST. My cell phone is on the do not call list and I asked the guy to put me on their do not call list. Politely said thank you and hung up. Does *57 cost anything?
The concetion was so poor and I couldn't understand what she was asking me. The only word I understood was if I wanted to switch. I said NO. and hunged up.
They call and when we let the machine pick up, they hang up. We are on the "Do not call" list. Big help that is. Glad we have caller ID, no one gets through unless we know the person or company.
Got call today from Georgette with same opening statement. I told her I was not interested & she continued her shepeel. I told her I was on the no call list & not to call again. She laughed & I told her she should brush up on her introduction. She told me maybe I could help her with that. I asked to speak to a supervisor & she hung up. I hope that these calls are recorded for training purposes & they get better teenagers to make these solicitation calls. Very strange??
