A very enthusiastic young lady asked to speak with the person in charge of our electricity bill.

I told her we only use wood burning stoves and candle light to meet all our energy needs.  

She hung-up!  

Time to go put another log on the fire!

I do not want these people calling me trying to get me to switch electricity providers. What do I do?  I'm already on the DO NOT CALL LIST!!

Gentleman called, I played along to learn who this was.

He asked to speak with the person who handled our local (Pepco) electric bill.  I never said that I did and redirected the conversation by appearing to take down the information for the person who could help him.

Said he is from Direct Energy

Was calling to "apply a reduction" he said. We would reduce our pepco bill by 30% if we used them (Direct Energy) as a "preferred supplier"

Thanked him for the information, then said someone would be with him shortly.

Placed him on hold and then continued on with my day.  For all I know, he is still there!  :-)

We have been getting several calls from this number within the last few weeks. When we answer they would just hang up but today was different. They called and we let the answering machine pick up. They left a message that simply said "[***] hole". Now this is sad. They have nothing better to do than to harrass businesses.

PLease stop calling me from this number!
