Dec. 19, 2016, 11:31 AM - live call from Smart Home Solar from 410-692-2455 to my landline that is on the national DNC list. I got up to answer, and a man with an Indian accent started out by asking "Hello is this the homeowner?" I said "Yes". He then said "This is Mr. James calling from Smart Home Solar." I said something like "OK", and he started into his spiel, asking about the size of my electric bill. I sort of answered his question, and asked him if he had said Smart Home Solar?, but the phone went dead right after I finished my sentence, and then it went to a fast busy signal.
I've received countless calls from "smart home solar". It seems they are able to take the first three digits from your phone number on the caller ID, apply any combination of numbers for the last four digits so that no matter how many times you block their numbers they just keep calling. I've repeatedly asked them to remove me from their list with no success.
Noticed "Smart Home Solar" on the comments. I was searching using that name. Looks like it's a scam targeting Maryland, I got the call from another number 410-208-8009
Called ID had my town exchange so I answered it. It was a guy with an Indian Accent and said he was from Hometown Solar. After I told him to stop calling, as they call regularly, and I hung up, I checked and it was a local phone number. I called that number and it said that the number I have called is not in service. How do they hack unused numbers? This has happened 3 times. This time I am going to call the Attorney Generals office on Monday.
