This is a company who identified themselves to me today as "National Energy Coalition". They offer to do an 'energy audit' - so you can take advantage of federal energy rebate or tax deduction programs. I'll bet they are selling some energy-related device and this is a way to get their foot in the door. If so, it is clearly a violation of the DO NOT CALL LIST for them to be robo-dialing with recorded messages to numbers which are on that list. I talked with them today when they called and told them they were in violation and I planned to report them, which I have. They argued with me that they have every right to call, since they are "calling about a federal program". Really?? Does that mean every appliance and a/c company, every window company, every insulation company, etc. etc. etc. in the country could call me because there are energy rebates this year on their product??? Ridiculous invasion of privacy and waste of my cell phone minutes. Hopefully the Do Not Call list and regulation mean something...and this will be stopped.
