Recorded message states that my Con Edison Bill can be lowered and to press one.... Woman picks up who tells me that she is calling from a "Con Edison Approved" organization called the "Electric Assistance Program" and she represents several electric companies that can offer lower rates. I asked if I could find her company on the internet (and could not when i check while talking with her) becuase I did not want to give out my personal information to a stranger that called me... not surprisingly she said she could only make outboud calls. So I told her thought she may represent multiple electric companies to me she represents a telemarketer that is conducting a scam and calling me at home at 7:30 at night when I am on a do not call list. That appeared to prompt her to simply hang up and move on to the next victim of her scam... But apparently she was not was not completley done with me. About an hour later I get a call with the caller ID of "annonymous" from what sounds like the same woman. She asked for me by name and they say "I am right outside your house. Come out if you want to tell me what you think of me." and then she hangs up. To her credit, she is very skilled at hanging up the phone. *57 reported her annomyous call to the police... and called local precinct re same.
I actually waited for operator to come on. Then I said "what's the name of your company?" she hung up immediately. Someone should play along long enough to find out who they are and collect $ for calling a number on "do not call" list.
