I get a call from 8605164476, the company name appears on my phone is startel llc. A very nice lady says that she can lower my electric bill by 10% if I give her my account number on the bill. I thought she was for real and start to look for my electric bill. Only to find out that my electric bill comes from our town, not a normal PSEG or other company. Before I can finish my sentence, she hang up on me. It only made me realize that she is not a for real. It's scary. Don't give your account to anyone.

A very cheerful woman introduced herself (I've already forgotten the company name) and her company as an energy delivery service and offered a rate lower than our current electric service. She asked me how I was today and I replied "Cold" to which she replied that she was nagging her boss to turn up their heat this morning. I put her on mute and she was about to hang up and I again said "Hello?" and she asked, by name, for the person who handles the electric bill. I lied, told her she had the wrong number and hung up.

I try to record calls like these with Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice ) but this call didn't come through my Google Voice phone number. You can hear other recorded telemarketing calls on my Spam Calls web page:

These idiots are out there enmasse! If I don't recognize the number or the area code, I simply don't answer these kinds of calls. AND, whatever happened to the DO NOT CALL LIST regulations? Nobody home with that anymore, evidently, as I get more and more solicitation calls of all manner...electric bill "lowering" calls, lower my interest rate calls...you name it. Have reported several of these type calls to the Do Not Call List online, but apparently, nothing ever happens and it isn't addressed, as these scammers just keep calling. DNC is clearly another government program which is worthless. Don't bother answering when you don't know who's calling and the area code or the called ID isn't recognizable to you.
