This call shows as "Unknown Caller" on caller ID. Internet research shows that these calls may be coming from Stand Up Action Alert (political call), and are robocalls.

Thanks for your additions to the website - it proves to be very useful in fighting these illegal and harassing telephone calls.
However, in addition to providing information on this website, if you ARE on the National Do Not Call List, you MUST file a complaint with them so that the system works properly (https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx). The organization has to be made aware of the names and numbers of the perpetrators so they know who to prosecute for violating federal law. While I do not work for the DNC List, I have been a member since its inception, and each and EVERY time I report a number to them (with details such as date and time of call, number, etc.), that particular perpetrator has NEVER called again. Yes, there have been a few instances where I have had to report a violator twice, but the calls DO stop. We have to do our part to help make the list effective. Each and every time you get a call to your home or cell from an unwanted or unsolicited telemarketer or any other harassing call, REPORT IT. It takes less than 5 minutes to report the call. The same amount of time (or less) that it takes someone to post a rant on this website.
The second thing you should do is also report the violator to the FCC (http://www.fcc.gov/complaints). They work with the National Do Not Call List to help stop these calls. It is a violation of federal statute (16 CFR Section 310.3(b) to harass anyone with unwanted or unsolicited calls. Again, each and EVERY time you get a call from an unwanted or unsolicited telemarketer or any other harassing call, REPORT IT.
I am posting this because while I understand the frustration of getting these very annoying calls (I get them, too!), posting a rant on this website is not useful. This website is not the place to request that a violator stop calling you. Use this website for its intended purpose - to provide needed information regarding a harassing call so the information can be used to help the FCC and the National Do Not Call List protect us from violators. Thanks.
