These people call whether you're on the Do Not Call list or not. Doesn't that suggest something about them? Don't bother to press 9 to be removed from their predictive dialer, they won't. Much better not to answer calls whose Caller ID you don't recognize.

Thanks to Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice ) you can hear the recording on my Spam Calls web page:
Just got a couple....no ID on caller ID, just "out of area" Checked both area codes. First was from San Diego and second was this number from San Francisco. Looks like they are targeting the Philly area right now.
