I've dealt with some very bad telemarketing companies in the past, but these people are the worst bottom feeders you will ever encounter in your life. Yesterday I was finally able to get to the phone in time to speak to someone, and was positively stunned by what transpired. I was so happy that I was able to tell the person calling to please take me off their list (as you can see from an above post I left, I am currently dealing with cancer and these calls have been incredibly stressful). The call sounded like it is definitely coming from another country (very long distance sounding background). The man had a bit of an accent, and asked to speak to whoever was in a charge of our electric bill.

I was incredibly courteous and explained that I have cancer and had just come home from surgery and would greatly appreciate him taking us off whatever list we are on with their company. That this has been a hardship for me getting to the phone with all the tubes still in me given my condition. The man laughed and hung up on me (and no, I am not kidding). I wish I were. I just sat that stunned for about ten minutes not fully believing what had just happened. The calls continue today as of this writing, so if they won't stop calling for a woman who is dealing with cancer who kindly asked to be removed, you have no hope.

My husband and I are mortified by the monstrosity of this persons response. We have contacted the police department and have filed complaints with the Do Not Call Registry and The Federal Trade Commission. Our service provider was of no help whatsoever as we do not have Call Intercept or Call Block available to us in our area. There is something particularly insidious and evil about this company who was obviously contracted by an energy company here in the US to get us to change our electric service over to them.

I can verify to you that this number is handled by XO Communications I did speak to someone there who admitted that this is indeed a number provided by them to this other company that they would not give me the name for..

These are not normal telemarketers.

That is the company that provides this number to the company that is calling us. A complete nightmare. This is obviously another country calling us on behalf of some energy provider here in Pennsylvania who has no respect for us or our laws. They are inhuman...monsters.

Hi,
I get four to five calls a day for the past couple weeks from the phone (484) 282- 96** number.No one speaks when I pick up the phone.I live Stroudsburg Pa Area so I called Verizon and I explained them everything.They told me to dial *60 (star 60) and the number  you wish have block.They will never bother you again unless this evil company have more than one phone line.I`m assuming this is the only line they have because I don`t get any other phone calls from weird places other than Direct TV trying to sell me special NFL promotions.So I blocked them  too :)
I have received two phone calls today from 484 number around 9am and 12pm.Then I decided to call Verizon so  did.It`s been a few hours since and I haven`t got any phone calls from them except the people I know.I don`t know if you have Verizon but try the *60 and the number you wish to have block *60484-282-9672.Who knows maybe it works for other providers too.This is the message it will say: I`m sorry, You do not have access to this service please check and call again.This is what they`re going to hear when they try to call your house.I hope it helps and good luck.Reply and let me know or post another message and let people know if works or not.
Thanks Georgios

Thank you so much Giorgios, but we already tried this route the first day. We were on the phone with Verizon for almost two hours arguing over the fact that they do not provide call block or call intercept in our particular area of PA (we tried *60 and a whole lot more). That was our first remedy and we were left with nothing. Spoke to supervisors, different offices, and got nowhere. I'm still disgusted that Verizon does not have these services in our area as it should be available to all Verizon users. I am from the West Coast and not only do they have call block, but they offer it in a bezillion ways no matter where you live! We have learned a great deal since my last update.

These insects that continue to call over and over again, who laughed at the fact that I have cancer and hung up only to continue to call us daily, are contracted by a company called "Affordable Power, Gas, & Electric" out of Texas. You can find their website which shows their number. My husband played along with the person who called us last in a desperate attempt to find out who these monsters are, and the representative he spoke to admitted who they are calling on behalf of and why. When my husband asked too many questions, the person hung up on him just like they did with me (and yet they continue to call)! At least we learned who they are! I have never experienced anything like this with a company in my life.

I called and spoke to a representative there at APGE out of Texas, and sure enough, they knew who they were when I said ERG/Energy Resource Group, and told me that they are located in Alabama (and that a police officer had contacted them out of Alabama after finding all these files with personal information on people)! I was stunned that he offered this to me, but he did. Apparently this company is as unscrupulous as they come. He brought this up after I told him that we have had to involve law enforcement as well (and we have). I didn't believe him for a minute when he swore that his company had broken ties with these people a month prior! It sounded incredibly flimsy and fishy. I figured since they supposedly broke ties with this horribly unscrupulous company that is continuing to make calls on their behalf for no good reason, they wouldn't mind giving me the number of ERG so that my husband or I could give it to the police department we are working with. Suddenly he said that he could not access the file, but said that he would definitely call me back the next day and asked me if I would be home around 2PM. That he was going to talk to the owner when he got back in (that call never came). It was a load of bull.

We have now filed a complaint with the Public Utilities Commission as well. Here we were thinking that these calls were coming from out of the country because of the outrageous and highly illegal behavior and utter disregard for the law, and yet all this time they were coming from a company right here in America who knows they are breaking federal laws! I am guessing they must be doing very well if they can afford $16,000 a pop in fines each time they continue to call us after they have been put on notice (and we are on the Federal Do Not Call List so they get fined from day one). That's a lot of money and we intend to see that they are fully fined if it's the last thing we do.

stop calling

This number calls several times. And trust me I am not a mean person, but it gets annoying after awhile. I am on a do not call list. And darn it, It is annoying. Got one today the day before Thanksgiving. And I was rather rude. I am not interested in anything u have to offer, please do not call here anymore. U are wasting yours and my time. Please stop calling. Its bad enough with the problems that people are having and then phone rings and u go running to phone and hear this garbage. Please stop.
