Hi all
I received a call from this number, saying Binghamton, NY on the caller ID. I have decided to answer every call I receive because I have become curious. In this case the caller explained that she was calling from a firm (she named it) that partnered with my energy providers. We went through my last three energy bills and she was very willing to finally tell me that I did have a very good fixed rate. It was not a bad experience and I learned quite a bit.
Likewise, I live in the Buffalo area. Second call from 607-203-5623 within the last three days. Didn't answer and they left no message. Tuesday 01/21/14 @11:45AM. Annoying!
Received a call from (607) 203-5623 today about 2:15 p.m. Caller insisted that she wanted to speak to the person who made decisions on the NYSEG account. This is not the first time I received such a call. No information available other than the call came from Binghamton, NY
They don't leave any msgs, but when you pickup its garbage in - garbage out scenario. A total unmitigated scam, if you call you get the "Customer Control Center" press one to speak with a Client Adviser - advise you to not do that ... the crooks get more crooks to go after their prey - which be us-en's .......
Received a call from this number, called said her name was Courtney something or other, calling on behalf of supplier to NYSEG etc. etc. She referred to at least 3 different company names, said she was calling for the State of NY. It all sounded strange to me. I asked for a number to return call, she gave me 888-744-8125. I tried to call NYSEG to find out what they know but due to the holiday, their offices are closed.
This board is simply a sounding board for people to vent and inform others of scam telemarketing calls they receive. There is no authority associated with the 800notes site to stop these callers. In order for people to collectively stop these type calls they must act together - and TAKE ACTION! It doesn’t do any good to complain about a caller on this board unless you then take the next step and do something about it! The caller ID number is usually a ‘Spoof Number” – A Fake! Never, never, ever engage the caller or call back the number. The false robocallers will then capture your number as a ‘live one’ and use it over and over and sell it to other scammers. The same goes if it prompts you to ‘press a key’ to ‘opt out’ of their calling lists, or be transferred to someone, as this will only ‘log’ your number as a working one and make it ripe for future calls and to be sold to other scam companies as well.
The best option is simply to hang up, keep your own list of calling numbers with dates and times and report them to the FCC below. There is space on their complaint form to list several calling dates and times of a repeat caller.
The DO NOT CALL list is worthless, they do not act on anything, just build a database of numbers.
In order to do something to help stop these type calls, everyone - EVERYONE needs to file an online complaint directly with the FCC. If they receive enough complaints about a particular number - they will act on it. Do it today and pass along the info:
