6 days in a row at least 2 calls a day from 850-688-9899. When I call back and dial ext 0 I am able to leave messages which I have done requesting they stop calling but the calls continue. This is to the point of harassment as no one is ever on the line when I do answer their calls to my home. I wish there was something more that we could do against these people like maybe calling their home number every 5 minutes and see how they like it!!!!
After receiving over a dozen messages from these [***]-hats while I was on vacation last week, I finally answered. It is an automated political "survey" for the upcoming Florida elections. Somehow I ended up on the GOP's contact list several years ago, and I have been getting spam like this ever since. I put "survey" in quotes, because the questions are all subjective. They are just trying to figure out where you are on the political spectrum so they can target you for donations. The number is assigned to Intermedia, LLC, which has nothing to do with this spam. They are just the phone service provider. Nevertheless, they need to be contacted so they know that they are hosting these bottom feeders on their phone network. The reason they leased a number with the 850 area code is so that it appears that the call is coming from Tallahassee, Florida, where the state capital is located. I don't think the company running the survey is located in Florida.
I'll be letting the GOP know my displeasure with their fund-raising tactics. I'm actually an independent, but live in a very conservative county in Florida, so the only way my vote counts is to vote in the primaries, which are closed. Thus, I'm a registered Republican, better known as a RINO to actual conservatives.
What you need to do is tell them you do not want to receive their calls, and make sure you do a opt out with all the political parties. Then, if you receive calls, go that persons web site and under their contact us page, write them and tell them to place you on their internal dnc list and also there is a political do not call you can sign up for. I did and also tell them to use that list and give them the url for it. I have not gotten any calls for years now. Not even political survey's. So it does help to follow the steps.

The other thing that will help, if you have a cell phone, if it doesn't already have call blocking, there are free call blocking apps online you can get for some phones. If you have a land line, google call blocking devices. There are phones also available with call blocking but they do not hold as many numbers as devices do. Many of the devices run around 60.00
