Just got a call from this number with caller I'd saying 'Venice CA' asking for the person who takes care of the electric bill. She claimed to be calling for 'Public Power" to lower my bill by changing my supplier to them as CT law (I'm in CT) now allows us to change suppliers. She was rude when I said I have already changed my supplier to save money. She pushed to get my specific info to see if she could save me more money. I refused and said I wasn't interested and hung up. I'm on the do not call list also.
There does exist a company in CT called "Public Power" but I don't know if they really have hired these jerks to get more customers. I sent them an email to see if they were really working for them.
Just got call from this number as well, came through as "unknown name" but she claimed to be from "Public Power." Kept pressuring me to change distribution company to them, asking for my CL&P account information. The rate was decent, but when I asked (three times) how I could contact the company if I decided to switch, she kept saying "we have a toll free number" -- but wouldn't provide it. I hung up. No reputable business would not be more than eager to provide their inbound sales number for an interested customer. This has got to be a scam of some sort.
Call me constantly. Very rude. Want info about my current power co. They get nasty when I ask for a call back number. I am also on the do not call list for what that is worth.
