This was a call from the company claiming they are doing free energy surveys for Progress Energy / FPL. I received calls from them on 11/09 and 11/18 from different numbers. I pressed '1' this time to speak to a person to be removed from their list. I tried to explain to the woman that they were calling my Pay-as-you-go cell phone that was also on the Do Not Call List but she didn't care. She kept trying to set up an appointment.
This is a company who identified themselves to me today as "National Energy Coalition". They offer to do an 'energy audit' - so you can take advantage of federal energy rebate or tax deduction programs. I'll bet they are selling some energy-related device and this is a way to get their foot in the door. If so, it is clearly a violation of the DO NOT CALL LIST for them to be robo-dialing with recorded messages to numbers which are on that list. I talked with them today when they called and told them they were in violation and I planned to report them, which I have. They argued with me that they have every right to call, since they are "calling about a federal program". Really?? Does that mean every appliance and a/c company, every window company, every insulation company, etc. etc. etc. in the country could call me because there are energy rebates this year on their product??? Ridiculous invasion of privacy and waste of my cell phone minutes. Hopefully the Do Not Call list and regulation mean something...and this will be stopped.
I am sick and tired of getting calls using our minutes with the so called National Energy Coalition. We are on the no call list. My husband has contacted our attorney, and called our cell phone company to block the calls. The so called National Energy Coalition Company keeps changing their phone numbers daily. We will find them and they will be fined $10,000.00 by everyone that reports them.
