Deceptive robo-calls by "Empire Energy Forum"

Getting reports that people all over the state are getting robo-calls like this:

"Hi this is Amber and I'm calling on behalf of the Empire Energy Forum --

Hydraulic fracturing is safe, creates jobs and provides financial support to our communities nationally.

Over one million wells have been hydraulically fractured, 13,000 here in New York with no incidents of ground water contamination from hydraulic fracturing.

Please visit EmpireEnergyForum.com to learn more.

Brought to you by the Empire Energy Forum, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany NY 12210 518-813-4836" 

The call may originate from 
716-706-2264

We're trying to get a sense of where these calls are being made to.
Please respond with your town/county if you received a call like this.

Thanks.

  1. "Deceptive" is a description that errs on the side of kindness. I just got one of these calls here in Canandaigua. In it, "Amber" says fracking is "safe", and implies that drinking water has never been compromised by fracking -- a demonstrable lie.

    You might also be interested in my remarks about fracking, and criticism of those remarks, that can be found at
