I checked around. This phone number is 'called' Tea Party Patriots. Apparently they don't have anything to do with the 'tea party'. The common characteristic among the call recipients is that someone in the household (or the address) might have voted for the Republicans (GOP) in one of the last 2 elections. So this number (group) is being used to harass these people till they get fed up with the Tea Party and stop supporting it.
I can't get more information to find out if this is a Democratic funded scammer or someone doing it on his own funds to try help the Democrats.
Remember the IRS!
Maybe, this is a variant on the same kind of harassment.
If it is really the Tea Party calling, they would wait to talk to you about their cause and ask for your support or at least, for a donation. This number just calls till you want to pull your hair out. No other intent behind it.
I use a program called Phonetray to block all calls from area code 404,305, 202, etc except those numbers on my White List. This number was not on the White list so the caller received the SIT tone and message that the number you called is disconnected. After that, the program hung up my phone.
thee people call me several times a week never leave a message. what's the use in having a do not call list if it doesn't work, I feel this is nothing more then harassment
I answered, and they were doing a fundraiser for Americans for Prosperity, but I'm guessing they are a giant fundraising warehouse and were hired by this group.
My trick to not having the calls bug me is to program the number into my phone and set the ringer to silent.
