I get this call all the time (from Marysville, WA) on my cell phone... at work, at home on Sunday, all the time. I thought my number was registered on NO CALL. Once I answered (at work), heard the word "survey", hung up.
These scammers are under the guise of a political survey group and call our businss line outside business hours every day, which leaves a recorded message on our voice mail. Political surveys, polls, and contribution solicitations are not subject to the Do Not Call list.
Since adding my number to the Do Not Call list, the volume of sales cold calls I receive has dropped to nothing. However, scammers by their very nature don't care about obeying the law, so they will not use the Do Not Call database to filter their phone lists.
It's not the fault of the Do Not Call list; they can't stop callers who don't use it, so stop complaining about this useful free sevice.
called from same number except last 4 numbers were 3925. Usually it is 3924. Problem this time is it called my private ring for the first time. I am assuming it is just a robo call and they don't know what number they called. I turned off my answering machine. They would love to know my number so they could sell it. I never answer and when they hang up after 3 rings (sometimes 4) I know it is a scam...probably robo-ing to another number by then.
Survey companies are exempt from the Do Not Call list. If you don't like it, contact your legislator. Laws are written by industry and lobby groups and passed by Congress. This wil continue until we start making Congress listen. What we need is not less government, it is more effective government. Oh, and educate yourselves about Citizens United, it's the worst assault on individual rights since the 1700's.
