I've been getting a TON of these solicitation calls lately which is really frustrating since I'm on the do-not-call registry. This one is selling solar panels. The other calls, so far, have been mortgages and home owners insurance. Whoever sold my information to these people needs to get punched in the throat.
I am in Connecticut and just got a call from this number. I do not answer if I do not recognize the caller-ID, then if they do not leave a message I assume they are a telemarketer and I block the number. So this number has been added to my blocked call list.
My phone number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry since August 2003 so if they are telemarketers, they are violating the law.
To block calls like this I got a Panasonic KX-TGE245B that allows me to block up to 250 numbers and/or area-codes. Panasonic has several new 2014 models that will block that many numbers. You simply save the CID to the blocked list. You can also block area codes by adding them to what they call a “Range List” (you are blocking the range of numbers starting with that area code).
There are several types of call blockers & call blocking phones. I suggest you get one so at least you only need to deal with any caller once.
some lady named Elizabeth Coman, so she says, called speaking broken English and middle east accent asking about solar panels. I asked if she was from a non profit organization, but she didn't understand, so I told her she/her company is in violation of FTC regulations by calling me, since I'm on a no call list. She immediately hung up. I think she was calling to get illegal money to support Islamic State Terrorists. Scum suckers!
