This number, and others like it (I think the last 2 digits are different), have been calling me three times a day for the past three weeks. I had been tricked into picking up the first couple of times, then I hang up once I hear the prerecorded message about my utility bill.
This is SOOOO annoying!! How is nothing being done about this?
They call us every single day. They will not remove us from their list! I have pressed 1 on eight different occasions, and I have spoken with eight different idiotic reps, each one saying "we'll remove you from the list"...then they call back the next day, or even later the same day! This has been going on for six weeks. I even called them back and got a pre-recorded message which said, "Press 2 if you want to be removed from this caller's list". It never happened. How are they allowed to get away with this? Can you file a harassment charge with the police against them, like you would if it was a crazy ex-boyfriend/girlfriend calling you?
This number was part of a block of numbers purchased by a company called EngageTel, and assigned to companies owned by a person named Arash Akhavan, who sold energy services. We filed a lawsuit regarding this under the TCPA -- which allows recovery of up to $1,500 per illegal robo call. I am continuing to investigate EngageTel - and would be willing to sue under the TCPA if you have claims.
