I have been getting calls from 913-829-8683 for a few days, including 5 today.  No messages.  When I answer, no one is there.  When I call the number back, I get a message that the number has been disconnected.

http://www.ksag.org/page/file-a-consumer-complaint

I get over 12 calls a day from this number. Above is the Attorney General of Kansas' complaint form. Please fill it out so that we can stop this nonesense!

Sir, what is your explanation for this material on Nick Jordan's campaign web site? What action is your organization willing to take to stop this telephone harassment in its name? I join the chorus, as I am receiving dozens of hang-up calls from this number.

Get at least two calls every day from this number.  I even let the phone ring so my answering machine would get a message and they still hung up with no message.  Can't something be done about this abuse of the phone???

REC'ING SEVERAL CALLS A DAY NOW FOR OVER A WEEK AND REALLY GETTING SICK OF IT.  CAN'T ANYTHING BE DONE??  SAYS "PRESS ONE FOR YES; TWO FOR NO; THREE IF UNDECIDED"

Trying to get some kind of impact on whether they messed up with last years slam down on bikers and if they are not going to be reelected?

Like others, multiple hangups, once or twice a 'survey ' question.

Used to live in the 913 area code - one phone (from KC) doesn't show the area code on caller ID making it look local, but our others show it.

Mkes since as we have received over 80 calls in 7 days fron this number. ONE time there was a recording stating, "This is a survey ..." We hung up. ALL the other calls were dead air.

I'm a resident of Myrtle Beach's county seat ... NOT a MB resident and this makes me VERY proud.

Over 80 calls from this number in 7 days. Never leave a message. Phone number is "No longer in service" per my phone company research assistant. No one on line when we do answer.

On behalf of Scientists and Engineers for America, I can assure you that Paul is completely wrong. Our organization is in no way affiliated with Mr. Jordan's campaign or any other political campaign. We are a non-partisan, non-profit organization, and one of our programs is tracking candidates for the US House and Senate.

Receive several calls a day from this number. When I pick up, there is no one on the other line or they just do not response.  When I tried to call the number back, I received a message that it has been disconnected.

I have been getting calls from this number 913-829-8683. Three and four times a day. When I answer there is no one there.

I've received multiple messages from this number and like everyone else they hang up............except for today......it was a recorded survey for the mayor and city council race in Myrtle Beach,  SC...........they are spoofing their actual number so you can't call back and there was no indication of who was doing the survey...........

913-829-8683 Is listed on the website of Nick Jordan, a political candidate out of Shawnee Mission Kansas.
(http://sharp.sefora.org/people/house/nick-jordan/)  He seems associated with an organization called Scientists and Engineers for America (SEA) and another one called the Republican Party.
He called me on an 803 area code number several times so perhaps his campaign outreach is overreaching a bit.

Calls 3-4 times a day.
