This was a call back # given to me by a Chris Fertally. He said he was calling from PPL, and that he was assigned to our account. He said he would be able to save us 12% on our next bill if we acted quickly before the next meter reading. He wanted me to supply him with our name, address, and PPL account # from our latest bill. I told him I had dial up service on the computer, so I would have to call him back with the information. The caller id showed that he was calling from Vitelity LLC at (484 397-1933), I hung up and called PPL, they had no knowledge of this man or the company he was calling from. Oh, and there was an extention # 1029 that goes with the (570 218-4633)
Got a few calls from this number and I picked it up. I had to wait a few seconds before someone spoke. I could tell right away it was a cell phone call since it sounded like the person was driving in their car. It was a woman saying she was with an Energy Coalition and wanted to speak to the person who handles the electric bill. I said he wasn't here and what did she want. She informed me that she wanted to speak to the person who handles the bill to talk about PECO lowering the rate. But she obviously doesn't work for PECO and was calling from a cell phone. I hung up. I would be very leary about giving out information to these people. First, they are calling from a cell phone that doesn't list the name of the company on the Caller Id. And she didn't ask for anyone by name. This smells fishy to me. Plus we are on the state and national do not call list. BEWARE!
Me too, got a call from this number and a woman said that PECO was raising their rates and that if I wanted to keep paying the same I needed to subscribe or something like that. I told her that I needed to investigate that further, she told me it was ok and I hung up. This was like two weeks ago, and they have called back several times, but I haven't answered since. They don't leave any messages. Oh, and I also said the person responsible wasn't home (I lied) and she still insisted on registering me.
Just got a phone call from this number this AM. They said they were with PECO and wanted to give us a 12% discount. They wanted to speak to the person in charge of the bill. I lied and told him that he was unavailable. He asked who I was and I stated I was his finance. He said he could speak with me (How does he know Im truly his finance). He told me that he wanted me to subscribe asap to get a savings on our next bill before the next meter reading. He said its been on the news and they sent information. I asked if they could send us more information because we never received anything. He stated it came with your PECO bill, most people just pay the bill and dont look at the advertisements attached ( I can honestly say I am like that). He said he could assist me if I just went and got my last PECO bill. I said I was unable to get it at the moment and he said hell send information via email to me. I gave him my spam email and then he asked if my fiances name was something it wasnt. I thought it was a scam...I called my father up asking if he has heard anything because he is constantly listening to the news and he hasnt.
