Call came in and caller ID announced Pleasanton CA. That happens a lot with cell phone #'s through Verizon, but when I called the number back right away, it said it was out of order.
Was home so I answered this unknown number.
Perky young lady said she was calling to inform PG&E customers that they qualified for energy savings.
She said that their records show that I am paying more than $75 per month in energy bills. Then asked - 'is that still correct'?
I asked politely if she was actually calling from PG&E.
She hung up.
This company has been calling me multiple times for months. The numbers change. I have asked to be taken off their do not call list multiple times, but they have not complied.
Their company is listed as the "National Renewable Energy Center" http://nationalrenewableenergycenter.com/
The website is as useless as their do not call list. I spent some time digging further and it seems they are associated with an actual Solar Company - A1 Solar Power http://www.a1solarpower.net/contact-us/ 855 410-4700
I contacted this company to complain and the receptionist said I will be removed. I would strongly suggest calling A1 Solar Power, checking if they are associated with the NREC and then asking to be removed and also providing strong feedback about the negative impact that this partnership will have on their company. This only works if enough people go ahead and do this, so please do.
Got a call from them. They call every day, even though I am on DONOTCALL list. When I ask them to remove me from their mailing list because I am not going to buy their product, they rudely hang up without acknowleging. Often they call and hangup before I answer, disturbing the household. There must be laws against this public HARASSMENT!!! What about our rights?!!!
They are ssociated with an actual Solar Company - A1 Solar Power http://www.a1solarpower.net/contact-us/ 855 410-4700. I called A1 operator and asked to speak to Sr. Manager. She took my info and after speaking with manager, confirmed that they indeed hired MPOWER. I told her that they need to tell their telemarketers ignoring people requests to be removed from the list because they make money on number of contacts made, not number of sales (dumb idea to hire for such contract, anyway). I have to say that the person at A1 Solar Power sounded nice and genuanly concerned about this. I told her that I recorded the entire conversation including my request to be removed, and that if calls do not cease I will contact my lawer next.
I suggest that everyone calls the company as many times as they can 1-855-410-4700. Let's reverse the trend and overwhealm their operator so that they pay attention to people's demands!!!
