Woman wanted to know my name speak to the person responsible for the electric bills.  When I refused she said she wanted to speak to my husband (she knew his name).  Told her we were not interested and she said "Who the hell do you think you are.  I asked to speak to my husband.  She was really rude and obnoxious.  Sure wish there was some way to stop these telemarketing calls.  The DNC does not work.

I get calls from this number very frequent. When I answered I told the lady politely I was not interested and she replies back with a ghetto attitute why not. I then advised her I would be reporting her to local authorities and she came back and told me expect another call from me. I have already reported them on the do not call list. Not sure what else to do.

The question, after reading all the notes above, is why can't the DNCR initiate some type of effective action against these people!  Does anyone know?  Rec'd a call today, Christmas Eve.  Same deal as above: can I speak to the person responsible for the Con Ed bill?  I knew that if this were a legit Con Ed call, that they would first ID themselves as such before continuting.  I told them:  'I'm sticking with Con Ed, have a nice day', and could hear some very loud response coming from the receiver.  I've already talked to Verizon about this, there's nothing they can do.  These animals know exactly where to draw the line.  I was told that a real threat, some crime, has to be commited before Verizon has the authority to initiate an 'investigation'.
I read about someone who was on the DNCR, requested that a telemarketer stop calling him, and after 3 violations, took them to court and won thousands.  Why is there no fear of such judgements?

Because most people will not retain a lawyer to sue these criminals and most of the criminals don't have the money to pay any judgments that may be won. We need to figure out a way to get even with these weasels, as neither federal or state governments are going to do anything about them. Any ideas as to how to do this?

Just rec'd call.  She knew we were National Grid.  She asked to speak with the person responsible for the bill.  I played unresponsive, then started throwing questions at her.  She just said that her company "XYZ" (I can't remember the name) was doing a deal with National Grid to lower our monthly rate.  She just needed me to grab my latest bill and let her verify the info.  I then told her "No thanks, we're not interested," and she abruptly hung up.
