Nothing from the mouths of them or the DUmmies surprises me at all anymore. If one of them says something like "You know, I kinda like Cheney," then I'll need CPR.

I got a call from that number today. I have never sent an e-mail to any government office before. Just curious as to who it was, I called the number back and it was busy. I called again later and it rang and rang. Whatever.

So then what is the reason for the 800 number calling and hanging up? I don't believe in any of these conspiracty theories but I do receive the call quite often.

I have had the number 800-379-8414 call 4 times in the last 2 days. Being a novice, I had just learned about Google and plugging numbers in to the search engine. Low and behold, I found your site. When the second call came in, I picked up the phone on the second ring. The recording said something about a cancer fund and gave a 888 number real quick. Today, I was ready...I picked up on the first ring with pen in hand. A man introduced himself from again some Cancer fund and asked for me by my first name and maiden name. I said,"That's my first name, but that is not my last name". He then asked for my 87 year old mother. I told him she does not take any calls. He again asked for my name and I explained again. He quickly said he would call back and talk to someone else and hung up on me. You can not tell them not to call again and the Do Not Call Registry won't help, but I will keep a log with dates and times, and file complaint with the phone company. Has anyone else ever talked to anyone at this number or I'm I the only one sitting at the phone waiting for that call?

I just now got a call from that number. (I have caller ID) A guy said "Marla?" That happened to be my deceased mother's name. I said "No" and he said "Is this the Webber residence?" and that was my mom's last name (and my maiden name). This was getting wierd because altho I live in her house, she died 4 yrs ago and had a DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER! Then he starts telling me about some kind of police benevolent group that is raising funds for something or other, and I told him that he was in no way legitimate, and a few other things. He must have been a bit rattled because before he hung up, he said: "Have a good evening." even tho it was morning. FWIW my mom probably would have voted for Bush, but I have been a pretty vocal critic of this administration's policies.

This person (?) had been trying to call and we would not answer because we didn't recognize the number. So, when we did, this is what happened. I received a call yesterday (1-22-05). A man, said hello to my husband, by his name, then asked to speak to me, by my name. When I said hello, nothing. After a few moments, I hung up.

Very strange. No, I haven't been involved in any political party, etc.

Would like to know what this is all about.

I haven't written any e-mails to the President, White House, or anyone! Why am I receiving calls from this number. The ONLY thing I can think of that is even related to this is that I joined a site called yougov.com and have completed some online surveys over the past several months. Specifically, some of the questions on the survey are related to how pleased/displeased I am with how the President is running the country, the war, etc. I would like to know if anyone else who participates in surveys at yougov.com receives calls from this number?

I have also been receiving these calls at least twice a day for the last two weeks. Next time they call I will answer to see what the story is. I have been vocal in many liberal policies on-line.

have been getting the same calls...just called and when I answer he asked for my roommate but he acted like he knows my roommate. the guy called yesterday around the same time so if he calls back we are going to get to the bottom of it.

also curious to know if any one else is using Vonage or any other VOIP carrier instead of regular land lines...supposedly if using VOIP you do not fall under the Do Not Call List category.

I just got a call from that number. I'm a college kid and not an activist. More conservative than liberal actually. He asked for me then a Mrs. me. There is no Mrs. me. He told me he'd call back. I'll have some fun if he does.

Voted for Bush. Sent donation to RNC. Give verbal support to Bush policies. Several calls in last two weeks from said number. No one on line when I pick up so slam receiver in ear of caller. Will try to check next time to see what I hear if they stay on line. 2 calls today. Registered independant. At least they're not discrimanating along party lines.

I had the call 4 times in a row this evening and ended up here after googling it.

I have received this phone number three times in the past two days. I don't understand why I am getting these calls. I have tried doing a reverse lookup of the number and ended up with a list of several websites reciting the phony number and the problems they have been receiving. I am also on the Do Not Call list. So who ever is calling, for the purpose of solicitation or whatever, please stop calling! Thanks

I just got a call from that number. My wife and I are both very conservative and support the President. I say that for the liberal wackos who think they are getting these calls because they post on websites against this administration. I can't say how often yet, suppose I should log these calls to find out. But today's call is just before 9am on a Sunday morning. Telemarketers are allowed to call after 8am in your time zone. I know this because I have had to battle some who don't recognize the part of Florida that's in the Central Time Zone that we live in. I am on the Do Not Call list. I don't think it's government, but maybe it's a telemarketing company that gets hired by other companies and charities. I also came here after putting the number in Google (which I don't use often, Teoma is better) because I heard from a friend that Google could do a reverse number lookup and trying 411.com didn't work.
