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!
UNWANTED CALL!
I did not recognize the number, and did not pick up the phone receiver.
I listened to the message on my answering machine; it was a young female voice, "HELLO! - Can I speak to the person in charge of the utility bills?"
I have gotten 2 calls so far - about 2 days apart. I did not pick up and they did not leave a message on my machine. My caller i.d. said "Philadelphia, PA" and that was it. I had no idea who they were but they didn't leave a message.
I have reported the number to the Do Not Call Registry, altho' I fear that won't help.
This is actually a debt collection company utilizing a non-existent number through a "Magic Jack" connection to fish for information about you. Do not provide any information, not your name or address and don't confirm anything. Hang up on them, you have permission to curse them out before you hang up (LOL).
