Home Solar Telemarketing Calls

I get calls from US homes solar at least 3 or 4 times a day and it's been going on for over a month. It's beginning to border on harassment and it getting very annoying.  Once I answer the question about owning my own home and I say no they hang right up. I'm really sick of this crap and wish they'd leave me ALONE!!!! if I want solar panels I'm a big girl and can find a company all by myself. This  company is the LAST company I'd use!!!!

I solved the problem by playing along with them and setting an appointment up.  Twice!  They haven't called back since.  Too bad they never showed the first time because then I would have sued them.

Since I posted that about 20 min or so  I could not believe it when they called  me again for the 5th time today. And it's never  the same number  because I check my caller id and it's never the same number twice. Harassment  all  day long I

It was only 20 min or so after I posted my reply when surprise, surprise us homes solar called me AGAIN. This is the 5th time today. I have started telling my friends and family that this is the LAST company I would ever use because they harass you ALL DAY LONG. I'll probably get another before the day is over. If that's not harassment I don't know what is.

} calls ... at least 3 or 4 times a day
} never the same number twice

It was about the same five years ago when solar sales freaks tortured us for weeks. Please consider dropping comments in the matching number threads anyway. A pattern may emerge which leads to a call source. Recently I've seen enough complaints to suggest we're in a new campaign wave.

Thanks residents 47. I actually tried calling one of the  numbers that called me and a woman with a crying baby  answered the phone. She had no idea what I was talking about and so this company is using regular phone numbers for their scam to sell their solar panels. Worst company ever .

Umm...why do you answer?

Turn off your ringer, and check for messages later.

Because it's never the same number and there are other places that call me that I do need to talk to.  Some of them are important.  Thats why. Leaving a message might mean I d miss my appt if they need to change it.  I can't risk that.

This thread isn't your personal blog.  I see that Resident47 left you a good piece of advice which you read but I haven't seen any of your posts in the proper number thread.  Why?  I'm pretty sure that spamming this thread with "I got a call" isn't doing anyone any good.

If they think they will ever get any business from or anyone I know. Forget it. Never going to happen. The fact that they know that the person they have been calling multiple times a day for over a year and that person has not responded should tell them that the person is not interested. But they don't care and continue to harass. This is illegal but as long they are smart to not call politicians on their cell phones, they are safe.

You've never held a commissioned sales job, I take it. "Getting to yes" means leaping over a long series of "no". You haven't yet said either one.

Some of the observations in this very thread reflect what I've long professed. Lack of response communicates nothing, not even disinterest. Better to make a response which gives the seller an incentive to mark you a dead end and quit trying .... and no, I'm not referring to blasting horns and whistles or other juvenile pranks. A seller working the sidewalk might tire of being ignored. Autodialers are not capable of taking hints. They don't take coffee breaks or sick leave, and they don't feel angry or frustrated.

The autodialer also makes daily pelting cheaper than dirt, particularly when hiding behind ever-shifting phone numbers and business aliases. Worse still, you don't say or don''t really know that "they" are a single entity pushing solar panels. Those government rebate programs have stirred up a gold lightwave rush.

I would like to see your source for the implied claim that elected officials are somehow immune from TCPA violators, or that those same well-hidden junk callers are afraid to call Anna Eshoo, Ed Markey, Frank Pallone, and the rest of the industry's Congressional opposition, or that selectively de-listing a few dozen committee-goers will shield violators from the FCC, FTC, DoJ, consumer lawyers, and agitated citizens who don't stop at limp and myopic complaints.
