408-264-XXXX Caller ID hijacked numbers. The following companies 1) to 7) are said to be associated and hired telemarketers with these scam calls. The telemarketers they hire not only hijacks private numbers but also violates several FTC laws.
[WHAT THEY DO?]
They have been calling on one of these numbers during weekdays and Sundays with average of 10 to 20 calls per day. They keep switching the last four digits repeating the same calls. The number uses the caller ID of innocent third person as a victim and pretend they are not scams. The same old method when you pick up there is no one there and hungs up. When you call back the number says it is of a terminated or disconnected line. National Do Not Call Registry means nothing to them.

[THE SUSPECTS]
1) A1 Solar Power, Inc. (Van Nuys, California) – www.a1solarpower.net/
(California) Contractors State License Board – Contractor’s License Details:
4) California Green Energy Center (aka California Energy Center) (run out of Top Design's office in Van Nuys) – http://californiagreenenergycenter.com/
5) National Renewable Energy Center – http://nationalrenewableenergycenter.com/
Received a call from 408-264‑2547. When I logged into my Comcast phone acct, the incoming call was listed for "Bruck Scott U" of San Jose. I was also getting calls from Renewable energy, but asked to take doff the call list.
I believe the "auto-dialing" software they are using is still calling our numbers, but not routing the call to a call representative.
Got call from this number everyday. It is from National Renewable Solar Center. Trying to sell you solar system. If you are on Do-Not-Call list. Please file a complaint against them.
This is some scam "energy saving company" that uses false caller I.D. names and phone numbers to trick you into picking up the phone. For example, the name "Drew Beveridge" pops up with the # 408-264-2646 and the name "David Bruck" pops up with the number 408-264-2547. Somehow they have found a way to mask their number with recently "out of service phone numbers." They continually come up with new numbers to get you to pick-up. If you do not recognize a number, just don't answer, as telling them not to call and/or telling them to put them on the "do not call list" only encourages them continue the harassment. I hate these annoying [***]!
