Asked for Mac Bhaird my maiden name so I knew it was a telemarketer right away - Before she could say anything else I asked who she was and I was told that they were Ontario Eco Energy, a goverment program and that I qualified for the Eco Energy Assessment Rebate Program -
I asked where did they get my phone number and she said from the goverment database - I asked her was she aware of the "DO NOT CALL" list - and told her our number was on that list - She said it did not apply to her since she was not a telemarker! What else was she but a telemarker!
she was not ready for the next part though - My husband and I actually did the Ontario Eco Energy Grant Program 2-years ago- replaced the furnace, ac, heat exchange unit, insulation attic, caulking and had received the rebate cheques.
I asked her how could our name be on the list considering we had completed the Eco-reno and cashed the goverment cheques.
She has no come back - So I told her I would be reporting her phone number to the "DO NOT CALL" list for violation of the policy. not sure if she heard the end as she hung up.
Really tired of all of the we can lower your credit card rates, need new windows, duct cleaning telemaketing calls. On average it's about 4-daily and they never take you off the list which does not make any sense as I NEVER going to do business and they are wasting there time.
If you are interested in doing the Eco Energy program look up the Canadian phone numbers on the canadian websitest - Just google the key word - We did all the paper work ourselves it's easy.
Just got a call from this number and It was for the Ontario eco energy program, telemarketing at best and is suspicious, could hear many voices in backgroud ( boiler room workers ) tying there best to screw people over. On do not call list here in Ontario for what it's worth ( nothing).
Just got a call about an hour ago. I won't pick up the phone, they didn't leave a message (again) and I'm also on a 'do not call list'. Like Bantrybay Girl I'm sick to death of all the callers she mentioned. I would never do business under such a phone call contact and I don't know anybody else who would. They're wasting their time and mine. Don't these people ever stop their futility and stop wallowing in the obvious?
They must be either totally clueless or eventually find a sucker. J.P. Barnum said there was one born every minute.
