610-922-8903

These bottom feeders called my landline tonight. They are a scam electric company, trying to get you to switch electric companies. Too many phone calls from these scammers. STOP CALLING!!!

They claimed they they were peco then they say they represent 30 companies to save electric. Scammers!!!!  In violation of puc regulations. They'll ask for your electric account number then slam your electric service and make an unauthorized electric company switch.

(610) 922-8903 Robo call recorded 26 August 2014 ("Due to a recent state deregulation, you are eligible to lower your PECO electric rate..." SCAM)  
Caller ID: "Electric Dept"

This was a scam to get your PECO account number so you can be "slammed" into changing energy suppliers.

Of course they ignore the Federal Do Not Call list, which certainly tells us something about their business ethics, doesn't it?

Here is a transcript of this "free Bermuda cruise" offer:

[me:] Hello?

[they:] "Hello. This is pertaining to your current electric bill with PECO. Due to a recent state government deregulation, you are now eligible to receive a discount on your electric bill. Press 5 to be transferred to a representative to find out which discount you're eligible for. Press 5 to be transferred to one of our friendly representatives. [11 second pause, then message repeats].

So the PigPhucker "PECO" scammers are back at it again.  These bottomfeeding lower than whale crap dirt bags need to die.

If they are trying to get my PECO acct. number they are barking up the wrong tree. I do not now, nor have never had PECO for an electric company. I currently live in a senior citizen high rise and do not pay an electric bill!

Under NO circumstances ask to spak to a rep even to complain and ask to be removed from calling list;HANG UP. As far as the "do not call"list'useless;I get harassing calls every day.

>> do not call doesn't work <<

Incorrect.

The DNC list works as intended.
It is YOU who do not understand its intention.

This post has two parts.  The =second= is for people who are interested in the realities of the Do Not Call list.  The =first= is for people who have difficulty understanding long explanations, but think the DNC list does not work.

1)
The DNC list is not a magic switch attached to your phone line, that will block calls.

The DNC list is intended to help stop calls originating from legitimate telemarketers.
* Your calls were not from legitimate telemarketers.
* Therefore, the DNC list will not stop those calls.

2)
The DNC list does not automatically block calls.  Instead, it provides a list of  "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate, registered telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.

The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations,  charities, and companies with preexisting business relationships, as well as debt collectors, but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).

The DNC list is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
Its purpose is to stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.  Just think ... if there were no DNC, you would be receiving incessant calls from BOTH legitimate and scam telemarketing callers!

Remember, the FCC's Do Not Call site is a good one to report unwanted calls from LEGITIMATE telemarketers.   To report spammers and scammers, visit the FTC site, at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

If you receive calls even after reporting them (and waiting a sufficient time), then you should consider using a call blocker app, device or service as your first line of defense.  Google "call blocker" to see such things at Amazon or other sites.
