623-238-6208

I have a rental water heater from Direct Energy and when 623-238-6208 called, they knew this information. I told them I was not interested, but they continue to call (I don't answer after the first time). Problem is my phone is a cell phone and I pay for incoming long distance (I didn't check before I answered the first time). I called Direct Energy and they said they knew nothing about it, but that they will send a message to not call me. Not sure what that means...

Auto Dialers - When they hit a valid number - they are supposed to turn the call over to a live attendant. could be Direct Energy or some other boiler room dufus.
*This technique confuses the auto dialer - Randomly start entering DTMF tones on your phone quickly - the process of entering digits on your phone rather than wait for an attendant should invalidate your phone number and gets removed from the database. If it was someone you wanted to talk to - they would of been on the line and said hello in a language you could understand.
I only answer my cell phone when I know who is calling I never give my number to anyone other than friends or family but still get these random calls looking to sell me something. Mind you I have some people who hide their CID but they leave  me a message and I get back to those that matter.

Each day, one or two calls from this number. Don't bother answering it anymore. I decided to email Direct Energy to find out their policy on unsolicited phone calls. Perhaps a few other people could do the same?

Will let you know how that goes, I hate this garbage!

Same as everyone else... numerous calls. No response or messages left.  I doubt very much they are a "legitimate" company of any kind, if you can even call Direct Energy legitimate!!  They're a bunch of crooks in their own right!  

This number appears to be a cell phone... not a business landline.

As others have said their isn't much you can do except pay Bell to block the number.  They obviously don't care to comply with CRTC regulations.

Wonder if we could all jointly file a harrassment report with the local police?  Not that they would care to follow it up or do anything about it for a bunch of pissed off Canadians!!

Here is the response I received from Direct Energy:

Received a call from this number, Thursday, February 14, 2008. I looked at the call display and did not recognize the number, therefore I did not answer. The caller left no message, thus I figured it to be what I refer to as a SPAM Call.

they keep calling from random numbers its annoying

I have not received any more phone calls since my last contact with Marilyn Nugent of DirectEnergy. Read my previous postings and give it a try.

Oops, spoke too soon. Received another call this afternoon. Now I'm super pissed and fired off another complaint.

Harrassing never ending calls from this number I wish there was a way too make it stop,,They call late at night early in the morning it's disturbing

I got this call twice a day. Very annoying and only one time had a women saying about some fixed gas prices plan, after that nobody is at the phone.

i just got my first phone call from that #, i didnt know the area code so i searched it up an came accross this site. i answered and got no reply. i wanna know there cell phone plan if they can keep calling so many people from arizona or florida or where ever lol

About once every two weeks.  They just breath into the phone and hang up.

Creepy.

Received call from 623-238-6208, Wed. Feb. 27th, 2008 at 09:40.  No one spoke on far end after I said "Hello".  Area code 623 is assigned to a number of cities including Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria in the County of Maricopa in Arizona.  The number is a cell phone number registered with Verizon in Phoenix Arizona, here: http://www.whitepages.ca/10655/search/ReversePhone?full_phone=623-238-6208&localtime=survey

Verizon's web site is at: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html

Their Toll Free Tel. No. in Phoenix Az. is: (800) 922-0204

Just had a call from this number they usually call twice daily during the week but I noticed this past weekend I didn't get any calls. If the phone # is registered with Verizon can we complain to them??? I too am in Ontario just north of Toronto, area code 905 There is never anyone on the line and they don't leave a message.

they called our number again and left no message

Auto-dialers trying to establish the best time to call you back.  So they call several times to figure out when to call you and actually get a person.

just got a call from these fools,

i simply told "lisa" that the internet is serious business, and that anonymous does not forgive. i then asked how was the weather in Glendale.
she hung up immediately :D

Repeated hang-ups on the answering machine.
