some fast talking woman(being generous)called and tried to arrange for appt. with their energy savings specialist. Doing so we would be eligible for 4k rebate from govt. I told her that we already had it done ourselves,did the upgrades and lowered our electric bill. The woman kept talking over me and when I explained we didn't need their help she hung up but not before she mentioned to her co-worker that I was an a**hole.Tried to call back but mailbox was full...figures.Would like to rip her tongue out but would have to stoop to the gutter where she dwells.
Caller left an "accidental" message at 4:26 pm, including indistinct random background talking and someone mentioning that they don't want any cake and for someone else to go ahead and eat it, and some pretty bad coughing. Luckily H1N1 can't go through the phone line!
Says they are appointment setters (not telemarketers) for the Florida Energy Association. I said I am on the National Do Not Call Registry. The guy started getting argumentative and said that since they are appointment setters, that the Do Not Call rules don't apply. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, he hung up. They have called about a dozen times in the past two months.
Got a couple of calls from this number. I don't answer 'cause I have an interceptor so I don't hear the rings. From reading other blogs, I've found that this is a typical way for telemarketers to get around the laws. They say they are doing energy surveys and want to help you lower your cost. Then they come to your house to try to sell you something. What's even worse is that one of the blogs contained a link to a news story about how thieves use this technique to gain access to your house and come back later to rob you. NEVER ever make appointments with these people and NEVER let anyone like this into your home. I'm going to e-mail our local sheriff and let him know about these calls.
O.K. I got a call from these same "florida energy association" 80people last night. She was very friendly and I listened to her talk. She asked if the number she called me on was so and so, I said no, she said, well that's ok right number wrong person.
Her voice kept going like she was in a tunnel and I couldn't hear her. She said that the area in front of their office was under construction and that a fiber optic cable had been cut. I wrote down the name of the company, set a time for today at 2pm.
So after the call, I go online and cannot find this company. Not online, not at BBB, not at SunBiz.org. So I start thinking something is fishy. I *69 my house phone and get this number 407-802-0870, I do a search for this number and turns out it's a CELL phone. So I tell my hubbie if these people call tomorrow, to let me talk with them. I don't like being lied to.
Then today at 1:00 p.m. I get a knock on the front door and my husband was SERVED legal papers.
So, if this company calls you be forewarned, they are probably "ELITE PROCESS SERVERS, LLC" 5036 Dr. Phillips Blvd, Suite #205 Orlando, FL 32819 407-592-0366
I personally don't care that he got served, we knew it was coming, I don't like the dishonest tactics used.
