Just saw this article from the December 7th Rockford Register. The IL attorney general's office is warning people about these guys:

"Member Services" in caller ID. Recorded message offers gov't assistance in lowering electric rates.  Reported to Do Not Call Registry

Obama is not the problem, it's the republican'ts

I've gotten a message from these shysters everyday. Are they targeting Latinos?

This number calls me just about every single day.  i want it stopped

This telemarketer calls at least twice a day with a recorded message about electricity billing and I just hang up.  If I don't pick up and let the machine get it, sometimes there's message, sometimes not.  This Paterson, NJ # should be tracked down and shut down.  This has been going on for months.

RE:  phone call from 973-333-4948:

On the days they call, they call at least three times.  Caller ID says "Member Services";  they never leave a message...
Caller: Do Not Know

On the days they call, they call at least three times.  Caller ID says "Member Services";  they never leave a message...

Staten Island, NY   - same deal several times a day.  Going to see if Verizon will block them.

I have been getting these phone calls for days now. I remember picking up once and hanging up right away when I heard the recording. I will try the FCC link since the federal do not call list does not seem to work. I have already blocked several #s on my phone. Only way to do it!

And yet another call today.  Called ID read Paterson, NJ.  I did not pick up and no message was left.

this is some energy company trying to sell their services... extremely annoying.  Caller ID says "member services" but I am NOT a member of their services! nor will I ever be

Received a call.  A recording came on about my credit card interest rates.

I get a call from this number at least twice a day. I have not answered. I live in south Brooklyn.

Have been getting calls weekly. I'm not interested in receiving calls from this number.

The FCC can issue warning citations and impose fines against companies violating or suspected of violating the do-not-call rules, but does not award individual damages. If you receive a telephone solicitation that you think violates any of these rules, you can file a complaint with the FCC. There is no charge for filing a complaint. You can file your complaint using anonline complaint form. You can also file your complaint with the FCC?s Consumer Center by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries & Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554


Using the online complaint form You  can provide 3 phone #'s that call you - so eventually you have to file another, yet another complaint.  However I am registered with Do Not Call Registry and it seems to do 'nothing'

Hi.  I would suggest that you do NOT press "3" or any other number in the future to be removed from telemarketers' call lists.  All that does is confirm that you have a valid phone number, which the telemarketers will then sell to other telemarketers.

Your telephone provider may offer the option to block specific numbers.  For example, with Optimum Voice, I can block 32 specific numbers.  Unfortunately, these folks use multiple numbers, so eventually you will have to unblock older numbers to allow blocking of the most recent ones.  Still, I've found that this approach does cut down on the number of such calls.

Good luck!

GOVT IS BROKEN LETS GT RID OF OBAMA ASAP

Got a call from this number twice a days, four days in a row this week already

got two calls today.  no message left.

Same thing. I don't pick up and they don't leave a message but my machine records the beeps anyway. Also on the Fed do-not-call list. Last week it was a different number - but the same thing.

"me too"  I have a NJ-area code cell phone number, but I don't think that's relevant to receiving these calls

Pressler and pressler sells these

They keep calling my home,sometimes it is a recorded message other times nothing.  Three times in two hours.

i received a call -a recorded message man speaking ssaid my power bill was going up and if I wanted to opt out  I was to press  a button--he indicated it was rockland orange utility--I dont have either-so gave my  power company a call spoke to julie said  that these calls are not something a electric company would do-I can assume its another scam

got another call just now....did not answer no message left.  Why doesn't the Federal Do Not Call list work??

I am on the "do not call" listing & getting calls from this number.

Received same call - and also a great many calls such as you wrote.  I have also blocked many of these calls  - and the block area is full.  They just keep coming!!!!

Got a call, did not answer, no message left. Someone should stop them.

I tried asking for my number to be removed - after several days, still getting calls from this number and several other numbers - same sales message.
