I picked up yesterday when I saw the # 917-000-0000 on my caller ID, it's a Campaign for Mike Bloomberg, the person asking if I support his latest "flavor of the month"-improving neighborhoods, his control in the schools etc and I told the person I couldn't stand him and not to call back She said, I'm sorry to hear that, thank you for your time.....
Calls would come in late afternoons or early evenings - no one would say anything - sounds like children playing in the background. I just say wrong number or hang the phone.
