Informed me that my electric rates are to go up. Told me to press *1* to speak with an operator and *2* to inform them that I did not wish to get any more calls. I pressed *2* and nothing happened (dead air).
They've been calling me for weeks with a similar message using several different numbers. I asked them to add me to the Do Not Call List (I've registered). They said yes they would--yet are still calling me--and it's been much longer than the 24-48 hours they said it 'could take' to do so.
Thanks to Illinois States Attorney Lisa Madigan, there is, for all intents and purposes, no prosecution of these annoying callers. And the Democrats in the legislature, under the leadership of her father, refuse to come up with enforcement laws that have some teeth. What a cesspool this state has become.
Both Democrats and Republicans are to blame for keeping the system the way it currently is in Illinois. Let's not play politics with this. To do so would be disingenuous.
Got a call to my cell phone from this number that rang and hung up. I suspect the reason robocalls are legal in Illinois is because the politicians use them the most for reaching out to voters. Personally, it really angers me and is a poor reflection on leadership. I get these daily. No idea where they got my cell number.
