These offensive telemarketers have illegally called my cell phone (it is ILLEGAL in the USA to robo-call cell phones without the owners' consent) every day using multiple numbers with the 619-216-05XX prefix. I have reported them both to the FCC and my cell phone carrier. A web search on yelp.com shows that this solar energy company (A1) has received numerous complaints. They make robo-calls hoping to drum up business and all they accomplish is to drive potential customers away.

Number calls me at least 3 times a day. I answer and nobody is at the other end. However, today I answered and they said they were looking for the homeowner to discuss gas and electric.  # called again this evening and once again no body was at the other end.

I have answered the call and had someone talk on the other end. They're some sort of solar scam claiming to either be from SDGE or from the National Energy blah blah blah or from some other energy affiliated system. Despite the fact that I have told them to stop calling, they still call. Sometimes someone is on the other end, other times they just hang up. Either way, it's some sort of scam. Next time they call claiming to be from SDGE, I'm going to try to flip the script on them and ask them questions about my bill...or just yell at them...it really depends on my mood.

Keeps calling me! no message left

They've been calling everyday for 3 days.  I don't answer it.

Iv been getting the same caller but also a few other ones with different number all to be the same thing when I call back

Got a call from this number as well. I fortunately didn't answer, but when calling back I receive the "we're sorry, the number you have called has been disconnected or no longer in service..." message.

They call me 3x daily - always ending with  a h/u.

The A1 solar spammers are using a lot of numbers with the 216 prefix. We're blocking all 216-0XXXX numbers in the 619 area code since all calls we receive from that number block are just spam calls.

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.


The following six entities appear to be associated with each other:

They called at 8:17 this morning. Not recognizing the number I didn't pick up. I checked this site and read the posts. I subsequently blocked the number.

I have received several calls from this number, no message, no one there when I answer

I just received a call on my cell but after I answered, they didn't reply and then hung up. I called the number back and got  a message that I had reached a disconnected number.

BB is correct - no utility will call and ask you what your utility bill/usage is because they ALREADY KNOW IT.  Other utility scam is to call you and tell you that you have a past due bill and you're about to get shut off.  They will then try to sell you a prepaid credit card to pay it off.  This is all a scam of course.  

This is taken off of SDG&E's website:

Scam Alert: Beware Of Utility Imposters

SDG&E has received numerous reports from customers who have been contacted by individuals misrepresenting themselves as utility employees. The imposters threaten to shut off electric and gas service unless payment is made immediately. The impersonators are telling customers to purchase pre-paid cash or credit cards and call another phone number, where fake utility employees then get information from the cards and remove the cash value. The scammers have victimized local businesses as well as residential customers.

How to protect yourself

If you suspect a caller of posing as an SDG&E employee, hang up and call SDG&E?s main customer service line directly at 1-800-411-7343. You should also call SDG&E if you have any doubts about a visitor who shows up at your home or business, claiming to be a representative of SDG&E.

Even if you have a past-due balance that needs to be paid, remember:

SDG&E always provides past-due notices in writing before service is shut off for nonpayment.
SDG&E does not proactively contact customers to get credit card, banking or other financial information over the phone.
You should never provide financial information by telephone unless you initiated the call.
You should contact SDG&E directly at 1-800-411-7343 if you have any questions about resolving an outstanding balance.

No message left, when I called back (using *67 to block my number) the number is disconnected.

Called my cell phone claiming to be an employee of SDG&E. Was asking me how much I pay per month for my electric bill. I told her that SDG&E does not call to ask about what you pay per month on your bill. When I told her this, she hung up.

I answer call, no message.   I received similar calls from 619-742-3441 for three days between 10am - 1pm.  This is new number from same area code.

Called but no message left so must be tele marketer robo-calls sales in violation of do not call.
May be related to a same area code # 619-742-3441,which called several times the last several days.  Also no message left.  Online complaints say this is some solar company.

Added both to call reject list.

When I answer, they hang up.

Calls my cell number, no message. I called back and get message that I have reached a dis connected number.
