They called again - and again, they were blocked.

Buy a call-blocking phone.  

Uniden and Panasonic make wonderful call blocking phones and they're inexpensive.  They also come with at least one wireless handset.  

Very handy!!!
These phones also block ?Out of Area? and ?Private? calls.

They called again but this time they were blocked!  YEA!

Within the past two weeks I've received a call from this number a couple of times. I don't answer the phone. It goes to voice mail and they don't leave a messagel. When I try calling back I get a busy signal. I think it's a payphone.

Got the call this morning - did not answer - blocked the call immediately.

They can never call me again.

This number just called me on my cell phone. I didn't pick up and they didn't leave a voicemail -- I wouldn't be surprised if it's political because I HAVE been getting a lot of calls lately about the mayor's race, school board, etc. -- either way VERY annoying. Also found this http://www.hexum.com/results/phone/213-365-1978 so who knows???

Just got a call from this number, didn't answer because I'm at work and the caller didn't leave a message. I can't confirm that it's political but lately I've been getting a TON of calls about the upcoming election so I bet this is another one. Been googling it and aside from this site I also found some info here http://www.hexum.com/results/phone/213-365-1978

This number keeps calling me - several times each day.  It's one of those computerized calls that keeps calling and calling.  Reported to fed do not call list but doesn't make a difference.

I'm getting called from this number every night at the same time for the last week. I never answer it, and they never leave a VM. I tried calling it back, and it's just a busy signal.

I am receiving phone calls from this number multiple times a day

Not true I'm female and they asked for me by name. I just hung up.

hung up when I answered & busy when I call back

They've called me 4 times in the past week. Finally I picked up and didn't say anything and the guy said "Hello may I speak to [my name] please?" I just hung up. Now that I know what it's about, I can't wait for them to call back so I can troll them hard.

calls my cell, i call back and get a busy signal.

This is straight out of the Meg Whitman playbook.  Rovian politics at it's dirtiest.  Of course it's not Jerry Brown.  Taken for face value, no politician would do that.

I called this number and, it is Caroline O'Conner's personal cell number. She admitted to being directly linked to the harassing phone calls which are part of the Brown campaign. She offered a number to call for removal from the list but, I informed her that I will gladly call her each time I receive a call instead.
Please call her and bug her just the same as you are being bugged. She is part of the group. Do Not vote Brown, either. I encourage all of you to look into the Libertarian party.

been having the same problem. they keep calling and wasting my time. i called the labor fed., they were apologetic but it seems they need to train their phone bankers better, maybe be more selective who they let handle the phones and who they let stuff envelopes.

Reverse Yellow Pages list the number as a land line at the following address

444 S Ardmore Ave #224
Los Angeles, CA 90020
(213) 365-1978

The address is the Victoria Apartments near the Wilshire District. The person would not identify what affiliation they were with. When pressed for an answer, they hung up.

I checked the LA County Federation of Labor AFL/CIO website and it listed a different number as the fax number and not the (213) 365-1978.

Finally answered this call after many times ignoring it.  A man who said he was calling from Healthy Families asked for my daughter who is registered as an independent.  I said she was away at college and he asked if we could count on her support of  Jerry Brown.  Isn't Healthy Families supported by public funds?  I think this is an inappropriate use of the organization's name and pehaps a deceptive caller ID.

Just got a call and no message. I bet they note the name you say on your answering message and then when you call back they know what name goes with what number.  Also, if they call back, the second time they now have your name.

I spoke to Caroline and she was extremely apologetic and removed me from their systems (as I live in Idaho now). For what it's worth, she said their phone systems haven't been working properly as of late and they're trying to get the problem resolved.

She said her cell phone's been blown up by a lot of angry people, and I apparently was the first person who was polite to her... Either way, I'm hoping she is truly making a push to resolve the problem for everyone else, she seemed like a nice enough person to me regardless of her political affiliations or whatever.

I received a call from that number, and the guy said his name was Ishmael. He asked to speak to my wife and when I asked what it was in regard to he said he'd call back and hung up

They keep calling me to with and automated voice recording, this is annoying and needs to stop!! I don't even know how they got my number...

Ok, I just called Caroline (213) 400-8401 and she claims she is going to remove it. Thanks guys for the info, i'll let you know if it actually worked.

this number called me on a Sunday at 8:30pm!!! glad i didn't answer it

just called Caroline also. lets see what happens.

I didn't pick up (I don't answer unknown numbers if not from my area code, particularly in an election season), and they didn't leave a message.

They've been calling me daily. Leave no voice mail. I don't answer unknown numbers and don't call them back. If it is regarding voting or solicitation, they need to stop calling me because I've already done vote by mail. Otherwise, they should leave a message.

Please take me off your call list.  This number is my cell phone and I do not want the expense of your campaign to effect my phone bill

I got several phone calls from L A CTY FED OF.............I don't know what they want? or who they are?.....but I'm really tired of these calls..........I pay my bills on time and I break my back working 7 days a week.....this people doesn't know the meaning of respect.

I believe this is L.A Cty. Fed of Teachers  Jerry Brown???? Make sense????
