Home Solar Telemarketing Calls

They are also neighbor spoofing now as well which makes it worse.

Yes. Home area spoofing.  I have received 107 calls from "Home Solar".  Every time I speak to a person he (always a he) has an Indian accent.

Not really since they just spoof some random number local to me. I've reported a dozen, or so, out of maybe 75 different numbers and not one of them has had a previous hit.

So there's a problem with you being the first to post in a thread? Just because no one else has posted there doesn't mean your information won't benefit someone. Perhaps it's a spoofed local number for them as well but they don't know that until they see your post.

Here's how the site works-you have a number, you post THERE-it's that simple.

How do you think every thread that has posts in it got started? Magically? inter-dimensional time travel? How about because someone took the time to use the site correctly, looked the number up in the search box and then posted there for anyone else who looked that number up to learn what was going on? If no one had ever made the first post not a single one of the number threads would ever have anything in them. Simple common sense, no hi tech or advanced mathematics involved.

Soujds like you have a pretty logical line of thinking.

I get all kind of local number spoof calling for "solar" stuff.  It is usually "Jason from Energy Advocates or American Solar" but today I got a new one with a different voice: "Hi My name is Paul I'm calling from Us Home Solar How are you doing today?".  This is a creepy robot that sounds like a real person, but it always has the same script.  When it gets to where it asks if I'm the owner of a single family house, I always say no and it then hangs up, but they'll call back again in an hour or so, and again tomorrow.  Very annoying.  Since this is my company business phone, I cannot block them.  I've asked IT to block them, to no avail....

I get these calls monthly. And each time I tell them to remove me from their list as I live in an apartment building. They say 'Ok. And a month goes by and I get another call.

When they call again, tell them to come by and give you a quote. They will get your address and look it up on Google Maps, then see that it's an apartment complex. If not, play dumb and let them come by only to find out it's an apartment. Either should get them off your back for a few months at least.

"Paul" has called me from various numbers in CT, MA and PA. It's always a difference number- most often, though, not always, from a non-existent number. Play along and the system will connect you to someone with an Indian accent. It'd be great if Verizon or any of the other systems could block this. Chances are this is coming from abroad. Who knows?
