If this call was truly "political," as the caller ID claims it to be, it would be one of the absurd, self-serving exemptions to the DNC List. Since it's clearly not legitimately political, this organization is operating in blatant violation of the law. "Not," as a cameo character on The Big Bang Theory said, "that anyone cares."

Pure fraud. Survey? Survey,Hell! Would there be some one on the other end to get my customized, profane rant!

I received this call also. My caller ID read "political" and I was surprised by this "honesty" since "political" is the exact opposite of "honest." LOL. As usual for calls of this type, no message was left, marking it as "unimportant" which is synonymous with "political." LOL.

Got a call from a woman from this firm - she told me to talk to my representative in support of "The Energy Bill." I asked her what the bill number was. She said she didn't have that information, but the representative will know what I'm calling about. I replied that I would like to know what I'm calling about too. She said "well then, thank you for your time sir," and hung up.

This is an update. I decided to finally answer that number and after a few seconds, a real person came onto the line. They were asking for opposition against the Gambling proposal in Chicago. I agreed to be connected to the state legislative office. When she answered, it was with the correct information. I told her I was calling about the gambling proposal in Chicago and she asked if I was for it or in opposition. I told her I was in opposition and she asked for my zip code and stated she would add me to the list. There were no other questions and she thanked me for giving my input.

Been calling my home phone around 7:30 p.m. Eastern once a day for the past week. Never picked up and they never leave a message.

Just got a call from this number, the ID says Political but I chose not to answer and decided to look the number up here. I don't have any debt collectors after me, so I am inclined to think it's survey about political issues.
| j 2013-05-14 20:12:30 Debt Collector |
just got a call from this number--noone responded when I said hello. I'm on the donotcall list, but think these are actually debt collection calls from companies working with UnitedHealthcare affiliates. I got triple billed for services supported by altered electronic medical records (a HIPAA violation since 2010 and also illegal in Virginia and other places earlier), and refused to pay. When I invoked the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and mentioned the Do Not Call list, one debt collector announced they did not have to comply so long as they said they were the medical entity. My insurance company, which led me to that medical entity, claimed it did not have to comply with these and other laws because it made a voluntary disclosure to the government--which it said it did not to tell me about and cited its clout with "all regulators", particularly HHS OCR and Virginia's insurance dept (a division of the state corporation commission).

I get these calls sometimes twice a day from this phone number. 202-540-5121. I am sick sick sick of it. I finally called back and got a "recording" that the number was not functional. No way...she was not a recording, her inflections were different when I called it again. It just seems that this should be something that does not happen. I hate that our cell phones are not private, I won't answer it or call it again, but I hate having to start out to answer the phone several times a day when I have a billion other things to do.

I receive nuisance calls daily even though all of our numbers have been placed on the DO NOT CALL list. My research indicates that the government sells this ?DO NOT CALL LIST? to individual companies for the purpose of that company?s removing listed numbers from their contact list. Some individuals have complained that these nuisance calls began AFTER they placed their numbers on this ?DO NOT CALL LIST.? Interestingly enough, if you ?Google Search? the indicated number of the nuisance caller you will be shown significant opportunities where you can PURCHASE precise information for that number. DO NOT DO IT! This is precisely what these
nuisance calls are all about?getting individuals to subscribe to some telephone lookup service. At approximately $2.00 for each lookup they will give you ?useless? information for that number. Useless because those companies who make the nuisance calls can use a process called ?spoofing? by which the calling telephone can appear to be any telephone number they choose, even though they may be calling from a foreign company. It?s all a nuisance scam and our government should do something about it.

I thought it was Obama calling but it was a telemarketer/scammer :(

Keep getting these calls after reporting to do not call several times.. Have even texted this number to be removed but they are still calling almost everyday. I call back and get a recording that "this is a political survey, we will contact you again" and no way to remove your number...

Received a call fropm this number and saw the Caller ID said "Political" but answerewd it anyway. After a pause a woman came on and asked to "survey me" on if I approved of gambling site expansion initiatives that would increase the "saturation" of these types of facilities in Illinois and would only benefit existing racetrack owners, Obviously this is a paid marketing outfit looking to generate "astroturf" (as opposed to grassroots") movement on behalf of a paying client. Its also obviously an organization that is violating Do Not Call by trying to disguise commercial speach as constitutionally protected political speech. I asked for a website and was given www.gamingexpansion.com , which I could not find on the web.
My guess is that its a hired Washington lobbyiong outfit looking to swing an issue on behalf of one commercial party or another. By the looks of the other comments here it appears they do the same thing for a number of clients and are very slippery.
Does it bother me......well, this IS Illinois, and at least we have the right to NOT answer the phone AND vote after death. I am going to cancel my land line and go wireless after this though.

This number calls every day, M-F and does not leave a message. I call back to ask them to remove my number from the list, but a recording says that it's a political survey call and that they will call ME back.
| Kathryn Wear 2012-04-16 16:11:19 Unknown |
This number call me several times a day. I am on the do not call list. It is really irritating.

Everyday both 202-000-0000 and 202-540-5121 call. Make it stop. Once I *67 back and I got a recording that it was Kaiser Permanente.
| Karen 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
202 000-0000 and 202 540-5121 Call frequently. I do not answer either of then, but they are annoying.
| Ann 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
The 5th of 7 calls I've had today alone. Not sure why there's an increase in scam calls and surveys since I'm on the do not call list, but I'm getting sick of it. I'm on the do not call list and they're getting through my call blocking.
| bee 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
stop calling me
| LINDA K 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
CALLS OFTEN - DONT KNOW WHO IT IS. DOESNT LEAVE MESSAGE.
| J M-K 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
Called ID said "Political". I don't want these kinds of calls. They should not be exempt from the "Do Not Call" list.
| Jeff 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
Phillip Moris they ask about taxes. they are trying to gain support by fighting the presidents propsed Tax increase on Tobacco products. If you dont smoke tell them you dont smoke and you could care less if they increase the tax. They will disconnect, thats not what they want to hear.
| RobbyG 2011-06-06 20:41:38 Unknown |
Kept digging and found WhocallsMe.Com. they identify this number as being a political call. I know the speaker identifyed herself as calling on behalf of PhillipMorris and began sking questions regarding taxes before I hung up on her.

Received a call from 202-540-5121 on 2-25-2010. Per PhoneAgentSource.Com, this is a Bandwidth.Com - DC landline originating from Washington Zone 1, DC.
