Of course there is no caller ID to tell you who is calling... came over as "Lawrence" MA...Normally I don't call these unidentified numbers back but I did and found out if you press #2 they will take your number and put it on the DNC list for their company...however it may take 48 hrs. Whatever works, as the national DNC I'm on isn't doing it for me...I go number by number
REALLY SUCKS that I'm getting UNWANTED SPAM CALLS on my private cell from Boston numbers when I'm expecting and needing to take calls from DOCTORS in the Boston area at this very same time. Should be a very special place in Hell for these SOBs.
Another "Switch Your Electric Provider" SCAM, similar to the "Buy Solar Panels Over the Phone with a Credit Card" PHISHING SCAM.
**I really think that the AMERICAN CORPORATIONS who use OVERSEAS CALL CENTERS are behind these calls.** For instance, **TIME WARNER CABLE** is running ads for "GREEN EARTH ENERGY" at 866-915-9525. We HAVE *NOT* called this number, nor any other in regards to this 'offer', and yet, our home land line - the one tied to our TWC acct - has been getting as many as FOUR of these calls DAILY, usually from FOUR DIFFERENT NUMBERS, daily, since 2/21/15. We have blocked over THIRTY TWO (32 !!!) *DIFFERENT* numbers for just THIS SCAM, alone, and are STILL Getting calls from new numbers, even today.
We have TOLD TWC that they MAY NOT telemarket us. WHY then, are they allowed to SELL our name to their advertisers to then VIOLATE our WISHES by *RUDE* and *ABUSIVE* FOREIGN STRANGERS - with impunity???
