I get a call from this number at least once a day on my cell phone. If I answer, it is silence. If I send it to voicemail, it is 10 seconds of silence or no voicemail left. This has been going on for a week now.
This call blocking software for home phones works, and is free :

These nuisance calls come from different numbers under the same name "ELEC".
This software can block by name ( ELEC ), so you don't need the phone number.
It will also block those calls that are "allowed by law" :
charities, phone surveys, political calls ( it's an election year ),
and companies with which a consumer has done business.
I don't work for Traysoft; just a very satisfied customer.
An Indian-sounding woman who calls herself Sophia calls me about reducing my electric bill, for some reason she knows my first name. I figured it's a scam. These guys are also breaking the law since I already put my phone number on the FTC's do not call list.
