Received a call noontime. I was out. The person told my wife they would call back later. Acted as if they knew me. When I tried to return the call I was unable to get through--- a message saying "We're sorry. Your call cannot be completed ss dialed. My called ID says it is from "United States Government."

This number, on my Call Display, called me. I phoned the "0" operator to ask her where it is located. She told me two interesting things. The area code (302) she told me is in Delaware...BUT...she told me the rest of the number...that there are no such numbers. She then told me the following: "The telemarketing people are putting bogus numbers in for the number, that do not even exist." Can you believe that??? She told me that she does not know how they do it but that they are doing it.
So, one can no longer go by what appears in the called display any longer. I thought YOU should know that is happening, if you don't already know this. How does one fight against something like this???
We live in such a "SICK WORLD"...well, the WORLD is NOT sick, it's some of the people, in the wonderful world, that GOD made for us. In turn, we are now ruining this world in soooooo many different ways.
Some of the "STORMS", we blame God for, and yet it's many other things that we are doing that is causing some of the storms. Anyways, that is another subject.
I hope someone finds a way to fight what I wrote above, about the BOGUS numbers.
I hope this helps someone, as I cannot be the ONLY ONE being called in this way and manner.

It is indeed State Department, Passport Agency. When they need to follow up with someone who's applied for a passport, they call the number entered on the application. Of course, if the number on the form was typed incorrectly, then they'll effectively calling the wrong number. Also, the Agents do not have a phone number where they can accept calls, so this number is some kind of outgoing-only PBX, which plays a bogus message indicating the number is not in use. Must be a method left over from the clandestine '70's. :) Either way, if you get a call from that number, it's State Department's Passport Agency.

Got a call today December 04, 2012 from this number too but no message was left. The caller ID said the United States Government, I'm not that concerned because I'm Canadian and have no business with them.

Some one probably used your phone number or adress on a visa application to enter the U.S.
The State Dept is supposed to check all references on the forms

Hi,
I just received a call from the same number. Someone needs to investigate to see exactly who this is....it's ridiculous. When people call your phone, they should state who they are.
| m 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
Passport agency when they called me.

I got a call from this number and they said it was jean clempson from the state department, but he did not say why he was calling, plus I run a tanning salon in LA, so I have no Idea why they would want to talk to me, I called the 1-800 number for the sate and asked to talk to jean clempson at the state department, and they said they had no one there by that name, weird

I had the same call it was from the national passport center
| Harry 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
No message left. If it is State (barf), why are they calling me? I know no one there nor would I want to.
| yup 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
it's a state department outgoing call number
| ekb 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
My mom works for the Dept. of State. They reroute their outgoing call numbers to this number. Even though it it is not one of the usual 202-647 numbers you see it is from the DOS.
| skp 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
Concur with Chatham. A generic outgoing number for DOS.
| Me 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
phone from dc
| Chatham 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
I just got a call from it from someone I know who works in the State Department. I think it's one of those generic outgoing numbers that government buildings and some businesses have. If you want to call them back, you have to find the number of the person who called you (even if you could connect to this number, they would have no idea who in the building called you).

I also received a call from this number. However, I didn't pick up fast enough and the person didn't leave a message.
| VER 2011-06-06 20:41:49 Unknown |
202-728- is not a regular Department of State exchange. Probably spoofers.
