Something to keep in mind about all these continuing bothersome calls for surveys, so called charities and so called charity pickups despite asking them to remove you from their list:

Call centers have sprung up in my town that make use of the survey and the charity loophole around the do not call list; they have been a headache for law enforcement, emergency services, neighboring businesses and residential areas.  When I ask any patrolling officer in town about these call centers, they are quick to state their frustrations about the criminal activity that some of these call centers have brought into the area. Several law enforcement agencies regularly visit some of these call centers looking for warrant arrests etc.  I have heard from sources including from frustrated employees that work for these call centers complaining about the drug activity, vandalism of cars and neighboring businesses, break-ins and theft, drinking while on the job, smoke breaks are actually marijuana breaks, drunk driving, very dangerous driving, tons of tossed out litter of empty liquor containers, trash, food etc.  I?ve even heard that the mangers are also involved in criminal activities and have even preyed on their legitimate employees who are simply trying to eek out a living on horrible wages.  Also the operators are untrained in a very high turn around, poorly managed and dysfunctional work environment.

Also realize this when you call a companies? customer service line and get horrible service from the call center that?s been hired by the company.  One time while on a call with our bank?s customer service, the operator was so loopy that it required ending the call and calling again to try and get someone else to help, think about that when you call a companies? customer service and the conversation gets odd, off the wall and obtuse ? you may be talking to an operator that?s drunk or on something.  After 6 months of getting a different and wrong answer to our ongoing problem each time we called our bank?s call center, we gave up and closed the account.

With so little police left in our town due to cutbacks, they can?t always respond to vandalism and break-ins when it?s witnessed as they have their plate full responding to the major emergencies, this allows the criminal activity free reign, the neighborhood becomes the hood.  Some insurance companies require proof of private security patrols before they will honor a claim due to vandalism or theft leaving the neighboring businesses off guard and uncovered.  These businesses also have the added cost to hire private security, install security systems/monitoring, upgrade lighting etc.  Then there are the dangers and headaches to the nearby businesses employees such as their cars being vandalized or broken into.  Some businesses simply give in, pickup and move out of town.

One of my neighbors owns a call center and he requires that his operators are bonded, but I guess there?s no laws requiring this ? there should be.  Right now in my town it seems like anybody can start up a call center and hire questionable labor for cheap without much regulation.

I my efforts the past several years to try and get something done, I am most struck by the fact that there?s no real help, everyone is more worried about being sued than dealing with the obvious problem - you are on your own....

Numerous calls (likely Government harassment).

I am on the do not call list and who ever calls me from this number needs to stop!!!

continually called at all times of the day.

That is old technology no longer used by the telephone company. I read in another post that it is due to the way the calls are routed now. The SIT TONES do not pass through. I too have Phone Tray and love it. I owned a Telezapper years ago and it also doen not stop the calls. I agree that it is an invasion of privacy to have unwanted callers calling, leave no message, and reply that the number called from is not in service. I just let the Phone Tray and Caller ID take care of the incoming calls, check it a few times a day and return the calls I want to. My telco service has an option block anonymous calls but that only works for blocked numbers, they can block the name and it will still go through. At least that one is free.

I also got the call, but I didn't mind the call, Why, because I bought a Digitone Call Blocker.  www.digitone.com The first time they call, it rings my phone and the call comes through. I then block the number and the next time they call, my phone doesn't even ring and the blocker hangs up on them. You can even block entire area codes. I have it setup to block any incoming calls with the 855 area code. The blocker keeps track of all calls, good and bad ones. Then I like to check to see who got hung up on just for fun like I am now.

You need to buy one of these, you?ll like it

this is not Romney, it shows as a tag--Democrat and Obama

First call just now from this #.  I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize and they never leave a message...this one didn't, either.  But from what everyone says here, the call tonight won't be the last.

they call at all hours. very unpleasant . want it to stop.

and you're blocked, thank you google vocie

Agree! Democrat millionaires and Republican millionaires run for office; call us, the working class with not enough to make our own lives better, 'begging' for money. If I were worth what Obama and Romney were worth, I would be 'ashamed' to be 'begging' for poor people's money!! Idiots from BOTH parties. I don't give to any millionaire.

Answering machine picks up our calls without ringing the phone.  If someone leaves a message, we pick up or call back.  Otherwise we never know we were called.

This caller calls on my cell phone a lot.

I am tired of these calls. I will not vote for anyone they support. This is harrassment and I want \it to stop.

I am tired of these calls. I am on the do not call list but this is not stopping the calls. I will not vote for anyone they are supporting and I want the calls to stop.

Stop calling me!

AZ state. It is a scam. It has nothing to do with Mitt Romney. These people are hiding behind "political calls" BS when in reality they have nothing to do with any PAC. I wish this can be reported, investigated and stopped. Unfortunately, by the time our government attempts to do anything, thousands of people will be scammed and the trail will disappear. These people know what they are doing, they are hiding behind fake corporations, fake names, etc. I wish them bad, I hate this heartless a**holes who will scam anyone without any remorse. Try calling back - the number has been disconnected. Really? Just 30 seconds ago it showed on my caller ID. There is a reason they use fake numbers - they know what they are doing is illegal. Report them everywhere: police, attorney general, your phone company, etc.

The list goes on and on...

Since this came from the DC area, I assumed it was for a political candidate. Our Caller ID indicated it was from "David Bossie." Have tried it all: DO NOT CALL REGISTRY, not answering, even waiting for them to talk, then asking if they would "hold on, please," then putting the phone down until they hung up. It's all so out of control that I won't even go there - it's extremely frustrating to not get any help from somewhere.

How did we get to this point? Just in the last few years it's become so cool to harrass folks while they are trying to lead a normal life. We have Caller ID, have joined DO NOT CALL Registry, and saying "Hold on, please'" then walking away until they hung up. Whoever "Wireless Caller" is, they just don't "get it." Wonder how long it will be before they do?

Then did not leave a massage at all I have my cell phone do not call list.

I have blocked this number.  It is now on my permanent no call list.

stop calling me for money you just a white Obama

sent to vm.  2nd call in 3 days.   blocked.

Same here.  Handicapped, must get up to answer phone when I am perfectly settled for the evening AND there is no one there.  Since my long distance calls are 10 cents a minute, I don't call the number back.

I, too am on the NO CALL list.  Why can't these calls be stopped!  What a pain in the back, litterally.

This is bogus deception on the Republic effort to steal an office they do not deserve to have.

i missed a call from this number ....and they called in the past to. when i called back, it said that it was a disconnected number.....

No message. Mitt and Barack can stop calling me, I'm sick of both of them. I'm voting independent. Again.

Called again....but ahh, entry is marked as SPAM with no ringer.  Haaaahahaa!

Another "202" area code blocked as SPAM on my phone.  No ringer, no problems.  They can call me all day and I don't even know it.

This number 202 738 5628 calls my house at least twice a day ..i refuse to vote for him now because this is beyond ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
