Checked with PP&L as caller said she would get "government sponsored discount" on electric service if no other government subsidy used and account was current. Actually, PP&L said it was a scam to offer electricity from one of the electricity suppliers. The number is a mobile number. I will report it to the FCC as a violation of my Do Not Call.
We get these calls sometimes once per day. They are identified as "Public Assist". I never answer the calls, yet they do not leave a message either. If someone really wanted to get in touch with you, they would leave a message. They really need to get after these people and do something about this. I thought when the "Do Not Call" policy was established it would eliminate nuisance calls - obviously that was not a "foolproof" policy. Someone needs to grab a hold of these people and charge them with some sort of fine - maybe that might help deter these callers if their pocketbooks are hit!!!!
