Got a call from this number, Caller ID says March of Dimes. We are on the DNC list too - but for the record, it does not apply to charities or political organizations, grrrrr. We also have a household policy of not accepting telephone solicitations or surveys (or even answering the phone any more if we don't recognize the number.)
Fast reaching the ridiculously low limit for blocked calls with our service provider... time to invest a little in a good phone blocker box.
Asks for my wife by name but does not leave a number or message, just that they will call back later. After several calls they just hang up when I answer.
Asked for someone by name who doesn't live here. She seemed nice enough, when I said she had a wrong number she apologized and hung up. The only thing that made me think it might be a telemarketer was that there was a brief silence when I first picked up, and apparently I said "hello" too soon since the caller didn't seem to have heard that.
The whole problem is the government is the fault by raising taxes , and not doing anything about these companies by putting a stop to harassing phone calls. The more money they take from us the less we have to live on, and these companies don't care if we have any-money to live on or not just so they get theirs. THE GOVERNMENT IS THE SAME WAY...
