They have called numerous times. I answered today and a female voice said hello after I did and waited for me to say something else. Since she called me I didn't say anything and hung up. This is obviously a scam of some form.
I am terminally ill and it takes me 7 to 10 rings to reach the phone. The number 202-367-9440 has called 4 times and only lets it ring 3 times. I found this site after doing a reverse search and finding it came from DC area. I was worried that it was my SS worker and was stressing over it. If anyone finds a way to stop this or where they are coming from please post it. I have better things to do with what time I have left than deal with these calls.
Have had about 10 calls over the past week, no message. I work third shift, so my answering machine is on durung the day & the phone ringer is turned off.
This is a telemarketing firm called the American Cancer Research Institute. You can call the number back, hit 1 for more information, and then hit 3 to have your number removed from their list. You enter you number. It says that your number will be removed within 30 days.
