This number rang once and then hung up.  I don't show it as blocked on my blocked list.  Wonder if it's a spoofed number being used by someone who IS on my blocked list.

NOTE: Try this search: http://800notes.com/nb/search.aspx?q=714-776 to see several of the spoofed numbers A1 Solar Power is using with the area code of 714 and prefix of 776.  Alternatively, you can just type "714-776" (without the quotation marks) into the search field on the home page of 800notes to find all posts with that combination of area code and prefix.



This call is from A1 Solar Power, a solar company based in Van Nuys, California (with six branches throughout the state: San Diego, Costa Mesa, Carpenteria, Petaluma, Concord, and San Jose) or one of its telemarketing fronts.  

A1 Solar Power’s telemarketing fronts usually spoof both the Caller-ID name and the Caller-ID number or use recently disconnected numbers.  Occasionally, they will spoof the active number of an unsuspecting victim.

Call Type: Telemarketer

Thank you for the information -- my hunch was correct.  Adding this number to my blocked list.

Auto-dialer has called repeatedly for months.  If you answer and don't speak, it hangs up.  If it goes to voicemail, no message.  Maybe next time I'll say something weird.

These people are relentless.  I tried being nice but 30 minutes into the call the manager James Anderson became rude and insulting.  I told them I am on the Do Not Call list and they told me they are not telemarketers.  It was a bunch of BS.  I am so tired of getting calls from these types of companies!!
