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.
Got a call from this number, and was expecting a 607 area code call. Machine picked up and they didn't leave a message so I called back. Automated phone system picks up and tells me that someone from their [unnamed] company was trying to reach us. Gave me an option to speak with someone, or have our number removed, or leave a message. I chose the option to opt out of future phone calls. We are on the "Do not call" list already. I'll post on here again if they call back.
We have Verizon with caller ID. Also on DO NOT CALL LIST but that is worthless. What I do have is a Panasonic phone that allows us to block up to 30 numbers. I know that sounds a lot but I have had it full and can not add anymore numbers at times. The phone will still ring once but then blocks the call. Still very irritating...Hope someone can use this info. I am sure there are other phones out there with that option.
