I have firsthand experience with this company. AW refers to a company called "Artesian Water," who sells water filtration systems to home owners. They'll come and do "tests" on your tap water and compare it to their filtered water to sell you the pricey system. In exchange for referral names, they promise a "gift" in the way of a gas card or whatever. After three years and dozens of phone calls, they have still not delivered on the "gift." Yes, it's a scam to get you to buy, but good luck on getting anything from them....
The most annoying people on Earth. I have received calls from

and when I tell them to put me on their "do not call" list, they say things like, "OK, I'll call you back later tonight" or "No can do!" or "I'll call you tomorrow when you are in a better mood."
A reverse search of their phone numbers leads to
OÆConnor Enterprises

I've started receiving the same kind of calls from them. They want to talk to my wife because she did a water quality survey thinking they were with the village we live in. I called them directly yesterday and spoke with someone named "Kelly" who said she'd take me out of their database after I told her we were on the National "do not call" registry and I've also gone ahead and started blocking all of their phone numbers through our telephone provider.
This is Artesian Water & Air, AKA " A W water testing " on your caller ID. They are out of 1151 Tower Rd Schaumburg, Il 60173. Thier current 800 number that will connect you to a live person to scre--, I mean speak with to get you "off" thier automated calling service is: 1.800.913.7437 also ask to be mailed a copy of thier no call policy.
Called the 800-913-7437 number for the second time to be removed from thier list after getting a call just a few minutes ago. The guy this time ansered "Gift Deppartment", and said my name will be removed. Just now as I started typing this, the woman I spoke with on the 25th called me! She claims that it's just the two of them working in that office, and that my number must be under a different name. I provided the NAME that the phone belongs to. The lady again said it will take 48! YES, 48 hours for the calls to stop.
After doing some research at the Schaumburg BBB today, it looks like these guy's main scam right now is to attach notes and fliers to doors and mail boxes claiming the resident has missed a package. The flier claims "call the number to get your free gift". This must be the 800 number above. The then set up a time to come out to do an in-house water test. Afterwards they HARD SELL you some type of water softner sytem. People report that they never get the free gift, spoken of in the original flier.
This company is Artesian Water & Air out of 1151 Tower Rd Schaumburg, Il 60137.

A W Water has called again, the second time today! Again I called and spoke with Ashley and asked why they are still calling. Ashley just says "like, it will take, um up to 48 hours, ya know to get you out of the system." Pretty close to what she says. Anyway the 800-913-7437 number gets someone to pic up at all times of the day. I am calling them every time they call me until they stop.
I am now in contact with a guy from Hoffman Estates who will put me in touch with with someone from the city who has delt with these scam artists.
