Quote:Caller seemed legit.Not according to your own descriptions, as a legit company wouldn't persist in pushing an "agenda" program someone doesn't qualify for. I would mark them as scammers trying to prey on those who are already in need of some financial relief. They might be gathering info on those for a future scam too. People with some sort of financial hardship are more gullible to fall for a scam they believe will save them money.
Answered, it claimed to be San Diego Gas & Electric asking me to press one to accept the call. I hung up, poked around to see if the number was associated with SDG&E. Suspect it to be spam and since I've been called 3 times today from other numbers that have been reported as being spam / telemarketers. It's highly possible this one is as well.
The company called to qualify me for a discount. I didn't want to give my info. The lady said there's nothing she can do but pay my bill or give me a discount then I got a letter in the mail within a week saying I had the discount for 35% month to month. And nothing can happen from giving my sdge account number. I wish they had a discount on my cell phone bill too.
Caller said he was from SDG&E with discounts. He had the name that is on the bill of my deceased father. How odd that he had that information. Hung up.
I have received MANY calls in the past from scum claiming to be connected with our local utility, SDG&E. Today, however, was the first time these boiler room operators claimed to BE working for SDG&E. I figured I would play along and see where her spiel headed. She offered an appointment time in the afternoon, I said "Great. Could I please have your contact number?" Surprise! Surprise! She hung up.
