"Number not in service" when I called back

But.. it isn't available to all consumers at this point..  The alternative is to buy a call blocker, device or phone.

I suggest hat you look at nomorobo.com.  It was one of the winners of the gov contest to thwart robocalls

Very rude person who stated that I was ignorate because I did not want to listen to his long winded story.  Claims that it was not a sells call but certainly was.  When I asked for a supervisor, the rude person hung up.  When I tried to call back, the number is listed as unavailable.  There should be a California State law that forbids a company to have a non-answering line.  

I think it is from a solar company wants you to get solar panels... big time scams.

Has called many times over the past few years. I tried saying "If there's anyone there, please don't call us again.", which has worked on many callers of the same type. Didn't work, apparently, as they just called less than fifteen minutes ago. They never leave a message. They never respond when I pick up the phone.

These numbers (925-201-6133 and 925-201-6152) are both from the same outfit: A1 Solar Power.

They call me every day

Anyone know if this 6133 number is rwlTed to 925-201-6152 phone fools? Tx

Did the same to me. I called the 855-4104700 number. Reported the 925 201-6133 telemarketing call. They said they would take me off their list, but didn't think this was their telemarketing group. Yes I am on the DONOTCALL list.

Man very rude- yelled at me . Never have I been yelled at by a telemarketer.

received a call from this number several times. most of times, hung up without talking.  

Got a call from them. They call every day, even though I am on DONOTCALL list. When I ask them to remove me from their mailing list because I am not going to buy their product, they rudely hang up without acknowleging. Often they call and hangup before I answer, disturbing the household. There must be laws against this public HARASSMENT!!! What about our rights?!!!

They are ssociated with an actual Solar Company - A1 Solar Power http://www.a1solarpower.net/contact-us/ 855 410-4700. I called A1 operator and asked to speak to Sr. Manager. She took my info and after speaking with manager, confirmed that they indeed hired MPOWER. I told her that they need to tell their telemarketers ignoring people requests to be removed from the list because they make money on number of contacts made, not number of sales (dumb idea to hire for such contract, anyway). I have to say that the person at A1 Solar Power sounded nice and genuanly concerned about this. I told her that I recorded the entire conversation including my request to be removed, and that if calls do not cease I will contact my lawer next.

I suggest that everyone calls the company as many times as they can 1-855-410-4700. Let's reverse the trend and overwhealm their operator so that they pay attention to people's demands!!!

Interesting that when I checked my caller id against the blocking on the phone, the blocker never saw the call....

It wasn't in my history at all..... I manually added to the blocker and we'll see if that blocks them next time.

Something new........

This company has been calling me multiple times for months. The numbers change. I have asked to be taken off their do not call list multiple times, but they have not complied.

Their company is listed as the "National Renewable Energy Center" http://nationalrenewableenergycenter.com/
The website is as useless as their do not call list. I spent some time digging further and it seems they are associated with an actual Solar Company - A1 Solar Power http://www.a1solarpower.net/contact-us/ 855 410-4700

I contacted this company to complain and the receptionist said I will be removed. I would strongly suggest calling A1 Solar Power, checking if they are associated with the NREC and then asking to be removed and also providing strong feedback about the negative impact that this partnership will have on their company. This only works if enough people go ahead and do this, so please do.

Was home so I answered this unknown number.
Perky young lady said she was calling to inform PG&E customers that they qualified for energy savings.
She said that their records show that I am paying more than $75 per month in energy bills. Then asked - 'is that still correct'?
I asked politely if she was actually calling from PG&E.
She hung up.

Scum-Scammer law-breakers.

This call connected, asked if I was (my name) - then promptly hung up before I could get info. Bad feeling, like phishing - only for what?

Got very rude call from this number too!

925-201-6133 I asked how he got my phone number and he asked me if I own my house?
How dare he. I did not answer, (these scumbags, NEVER answer any questions ever), and he said well your information is public record, and I said not for you to call me. I am on the DNC list and you cannot call me.
Of course he hung up. He was very rude and cheeky too trying to convince me it was okay to call since my info is public record? Guess what my phone number is NOT CONNNECTED to my public records at all so that is a lie anyway. He must use that to convince people he can call. Do not allow this. I hate this people.

CA Resident, My sentiments exactly.

When I have time, I try to keep the telemarketer on the phone for as long as possible. Over an hour is my goal. But they will never tell you any useful information to use for suing them. The company names they tell you are made up or belong to a legitimate company that is unrelated to the telemarketer. They won't ever tell you their address or real phone number. Most of the calls I receive are from Florida, or that is what the telemarketer says when I ask whether I can stop by their office to sign a contract for their (bogus) service.

There are enabler companies that provide spoofed phone numbers to telemarketers, so the area code you see on caller I.D. has nothing to do with the telemarketer's location. These providers of spoofed numbers also offer robo-calling services where they call out to hundreds of numbers at a time. Only when the recipient punches a number for more information does the call get transferred to the telemarketer. One reason you may answer and hear a dead line is that the telemarketer picked up another robo-call first. So telemarketers need very little capital outlay for phone lines or equipment.

Right now, I can't think of a way to shut down these annoying operations. Certainly, taking up their time with useless chit-chat could slow them down, but only if enough people did it. Getting the Florida attorney general to shut down their telemarketers would be good, but not realistic as it must be a significant source of employment in Florida, with considerable contributions to politicians. Complaints from non-Florida residents, and issues of interstate commerce would make Florida prosecutors unlikely to take action. Shutting down the intermediary robo-call services would be an option if there were legislation that enabled it. Write your state and federal legislators.

Short of that, you can only check for familiar phone numbers on caller I.D. and not answer the unfamiliar ones. If legitimate, they will leave a message. Some phones offer call blocking to specific numbers so you can program in the ones that are repeatedly calling.

In my experience in talking to the telemarketers at length, I don't get the feeling that the person on the phone is, in most cases, the scammer, but only a low wage employee. One way to bust these operations is to get a job as a telemarketer to find out who and where they are. Most probably in Florida, so California residents would find this difficult. In any case, knowing that the telemarketer on the phone is hired help, you can use that to extend your call duration by asking about working conditions at the call center, whether they are hiring, whether they get paid by the hour or on commission, how they are trained, employee benefits, and so on. Once the telemarketer has talked to you for an extended length of time, they have an investment in you and will answer more of your questions rather than hanging up. They may need to ask a supervisor for an answer to a question that they don't know, like if they give a discount if their product is purchased by the dozen, or if it can be shipped to Dubai. Ask to talk to their supervisor. Get the supervisor's name. (Beware that the "supervisor" may just be a low wage telemarketer in the next cubical.)

There is a FCC site to report the Do Not Call violation. www.fcc.gov/complaints. You'll need the phone number, even if spoofed, date and time of the call and basic information about the service or product offered.

Good luck

Calls from this number are scams and annoying. When called back they are not in service. Beware

This is a spoofed number, there are no 201 exchanges in the 925 area code.  There needs to be a law to prevent these types of illegal companies (and yes, they are companies), from calling folks even though they are on the do not call list.  These companies will never give you their name because they don't want to be sued for each illegal call they make, yep, if you can get their name out of them and keep track every time they call you you will win $$$ in any court of law, what they are doing is illegal and the only way to stop them is to hit them in their wallets.  Let's all do it, answer the phone, talk very politely to them (don't ever give them any of your confidential information or pay them any money of course), get the company name, now you can start logging the calls.  Oh, one more thing, they indirectly claim they are with PG&E, very delicately say they are contacting all PG&E customers with important information, why doesn't PG&E stop them????? or is it PG&E the ones selling them our telephones numbers????

Call came in and caller ID announced Pleasanton CA.  That happens a lot with cell phone #'s through Verizon, but when I called the number back right away, it said it was out of order.

Shady!

Only calls when I'm not home. My grandma answers and they ask to talk to my grandpa. Se said no and they hung up. Said he was from PG&E

925-201-6133 calls multiple times and hangs up

man very rude on phone when I would not put my husband on until he told me what company he works for.  Then he hung up.  Tired to call number back to talk to a supervisor and to be put on do not call list and got an out of order tone.

Called and didn't leave a message.
