Registration on the US National Do Not Call Registry is permanant. When the law passed it was for 5 years. That law has been changed.Now registration is permanant. Some telemarketers and all scammers chose to break the law and ignore the list.
Yes, there are alot of ways you can accidentally give someone permission to call you even if you are on the list. Your creditors can call you. Charities, even fake ones, can call you. Politicians can call you. Polsters can call you.
Received a call from this number a few minutes ago ... When I said "Hello", there was no answer ..,. then I heard "Good-bye." I tried to return the call since I had absolutely no clue as to who the caller was and a voice came on "Thank you for calling Public Power" and it went on to "Press 1 for the next available operator, press 2 .. blah, blah, blah." When I pressed 1 for an operator, there were no operators available. Hmmmmmm .... I just did a little bit of research online and found that this number's provider is Paetec Communication, Inc - NJ ... in the General Location of Atlantic City, NJ ... Searching for a website for this company, this is what what found to be this company's service.
"PAETEC personalizes communications for business-class customers across the United States.
We offer a comprehensive suite of data, voice, and IP services, as well as enterprise communications management software, network security solutions, CPE, and managed services."
Check out www.paetec.com to get their story .... wondering why they identified themselves as "Public Power."
Someone has been calling me from this number and not leaving an address. If it is a public power company, it could have something to do with the fact that NJ allows non-utilities to compete for your energy (gas and electric) account.
Also, it could just be a diversion strategy. We are on the do not call list and they shouldn't be calling us.
Just got a call from this number... a male asked to speak to me by name "or the person responsible for your Atlantic City Electric account." I said it was me... Then he asked, How are you today? I replied, Why are you calling? And he promptly hung up.
got a call from this #, as soon as I said hello, they hung up. I too am on a do not call list along with having a private unlisted number. The phone companies or maybe even the FTC should find out who is using this. very disturbing.
