Same - return call - says no longer in service

I live in Philly, and recently a guy came by with a story about lowering my electric bill.  His spiel was sort of round about so that I would think he was connected to PECO.  He was a pest but finally rolled his eyes and huffed away when I told him I didn't want to change.  Sounds like maybe the same tactics are being used with these phone calls.  Though, it's not the real PECO, but another company that wants us to change.  Unwanted phone calls and pesky door-to-door folks are not an incentive to change to them!!

They were trying to get you to switch PECO to another carrier.

I just did what everyone else did ... I called the number back and according to a recording ... this number is not in service.  If this is in fact a call from PECO, is this legal?  How can this be reported and stopped.

This phone call came through my caller ID as cell phone PA.  When I answered, an automated voice indicated it was PECO and I was eligible for a better rate on my electric bill.  I was instructed to press 5 and get my phone bill and a representative would be with me shortly.  I was on hold for an exhorbitant period of time, so I hung up.

PECO makes sense in my situation... subcontractor looking for specified past customer working numbers.

I want to devise a machine that w ill send 700,000 volts back through the line and zap the s*** out of those b*****ds.

just got a call from this number. I was talking to someone else so i didn't pick up. called back and got the number is not in service.

no message and when I call back says it is out of service.   I want it done

I got a call and number in service...!

just called me twice. no message left. scumbags.

Got a call from this number at 7pm. I answered and got response on the other end. Called my 215 area code home phone.

Call from this number and when I called it back.....phone was disconnected. Now, how can a phone get disconnected right after it calls you.  COME ON PHONE COMPANIES!!!! KNOCK IT OFF. I'm beginning to think our phone companies are doing these calls to make us call back so they can charge us. Aren't  they the only ones who can disconnect a phone??????We should get together to protest.

not sure who jim redialed, but i did it and it said phone not in service. if it was PECO it would not be a cell phone number, but a government number

Called again but still left no message.

I agree, it really doesn't work!
Just called 6:31, Local 215 (Philadelphia area code) No one said anything othing. I hung up

I answered the call.  It was for a discount on your PECO bill

Received numerous calls from this number over the last 2 days. Called back and number is not in service.

Didn't answer, no VM.  DNC list just doesn't work anymore.

redial = not in service

Called but left no message

No one responded when I said Hello

Redialed. said phone was not in service.

I did not answer. No message left. Speculate that it was a political call because it was from a cell phone.
