Don't pick up the phone when you see the number. If you do and then you even listen to what they have to say, they'll continue calling back every week. They actually get rewarded for speaking to a person, even if it's for 30 seconds. Being polite ends up biting you in the [***].
Somebody called from something called All Home Solutions at about 10:15 AM 11-26-2013. Same as previous calls. Had information about solar panels and she wanted to "send someone out" to talk about it. I told her if she had any information, to send it in the mail. She was insistent that she wanted a personal rep from the company to come to my house. I kept telling her I wasn't interested in talking to any sales reps. She finally gave up. But I know she or someone like her will call again.
Could be some kind of scam to get into your house and distract you while a co-worked goes through your belongings. Everybody watch out for anyone who wants to send a rep to your house and is reluctant to send you information in the mail.
Called again today at 11:30 AM PST. Another one of these "green" calls wanting to send someone out to the house to give me a 30 min talk on installing energy upgrades. Like that's going to happen! Told him we weren't interested about three times. Calling on a Sunday morning.
Still another call from the same number at 5:50 PST. Kept droning on and on about doing any kind of work at all on the house despite the fact that II keep telling him over and over again,we don't want or need any work. Then he keeps wanting to send an estimator out to the house despite the fact that that I told him we don't want any work done. Then the tries to tell me he can install solar panels with no out-of-pocket expense. I tell him that upfront money is always needed and if not, then I'd have to go into debt. I told him I have no money and won't go into debt, but he just doesn't stop. Finally told him dinner was waiting and I'd have to leave and told him not to call again. I know he will. Isn't really a scam, but still questionable.
Still another call from the same number at 11:40 AM PST. Same load of nonsense, "they are in the area" and " they can come out and give me free estimates" and that sort of thing. They go through and entire list of home improvements then mention solar and then mentioning painting and then mention exterior coasting and then fencing. They can do ANYTHING!
Finally hung up after I said no about a dozen times! Something scammy about it. No company name and he didn't even identify him himself and could not speak clear English. Call center in the background.
