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 just called the number, listed to the recorded message, was instructed and hit "0" to be placed on their "no call" list. We will see if it works. Good luck.
Has anyone had luck with the HIT 0 method? I hate to call and risk encouraging them if that didn't work. Cell phone users, you can use options on your phone to assign this number the SILENT RING so you at least won't be bothered when they call.
Does anybody ever pay any attention to anything any more? Non profit and political groups are EXEMPT from the do not call list, in other words, they can call you as often as they want and nothing you say or do can stop them if they don't want to stop.
