I get calls from one or another of these "202-810" numbers every day and sometimes twice. Thanks for this service which confirms that they are bogus. I ALWAYS report these calls to the government Do Not Call Complaint department online and hope everyone does. It is important that these are "spoof" calls as the American Lung Association is a legitimate and helpful organization.
We get these calls from 202-810-0581. And they hang up when we answer...
It's an uneasy feeling when it happens too many times. It's like someone is checking to see if we are home or not.
