555...  Why would anybody answer a 555 area code number.  Its known as the fake area code for TV and movies...

Called twice in 2 hours. Did not answer. Blocked the caller.

555 wasn't the area code, 202 was

Probably someone who is spoofing the Washington DC area code to make you think they are calling from the IRS. On a Saturday afternoon.  Really? An IRS employee calling anytime other than Monday thru Friday when they are not on break or lunch?  Didn't answer it, this is just a guess.  No doubt a garbage call.  Number now blocked.

CID said District of Columbia. No one works on Saturday there. I hope this isn't the start of campaign season for the next election??

received call 3:56 today - didn't recognize - didn't answer

Went right to voice mail. Left no message. Also called yesterday must have hung up just as voice mail answered.

claimed to be a partner with national grid and had a way to save money on energy bills. said he was from itech or something. Told him he was a scam and gave him a big fu as I hung up

no when there when I picked up, lol, blocking, another day another number to block, im down to only 1 a week, used to be 2 a day

The FCC no longer takes complaints regarding the phone scammers who robodial your number and leave no message. Worse yet, some states such as NJ, no longer take complaints about DNC violations and the roboscum know that thus our legislators have given them a blessing to continue annoying us.  And then to make it even worse, the phone provider profits by providing service to the scammers and won’t shut them down as it would be lost income for them.  They know the robosum are out there just by monitoring the bandwidth they utilize.  And the phone provider’s even make additional money (in opening new services) by switching the robothieve’s outgoing lines so a complaint about any particular number would be meaningless once they feel it’s time to run and hide once more.  So it’s time to fight back – contact your provider to ask to make your number a toll number for incoming calls from “Out of the Area”, 800, 844, 866 or 888 numbers, so when robocallers attack your privacy then they must pay you for your valuable time.  Contact your legislators to stop the robocallers – send them a complaint every time you get a call.  Tell them to stop the scumbags or you will elect someone who will!  And why not sue the phone providers for their inaction to pull the plug on the scum as well?  A great class action suit awaits a great attorney team on this one. The worse part of this whole mess is that the phone companies continue to profit from your life being interrupted.  I use a Panasonic KX-TG6844 phone that can block 250 numbers. The cost of $111 pays for itself if you use Verizon’s Call Intercept service (a $9.99 per month ransom plus federal and local taxes) in a year and you can drop the Verizon intercept service.

As posted in other comments here at 800notes, it will be instructive to visit www.EndRobocalls.org, which has connections to Consumer Reports. This is not science fiction. Read about real humans fighting "real, telephone robots", and hoping to win. I signed the petition, but I am a bit iffy about subscribing to any of the related organizations.

I saw that movie.  It was called "I, Robot" with Will Smith.

555 is an unused  real exchange..it is used on TV shows and movies!

Foreigner said good afternoon 2 times and tried to sell me solar panels.  I said I was on the do not cal list and she hung up.

Heavy foreign accent (live guy, not recorded message) in noisy call center.  Asked for me by name and wanted to verify my new Medicare card.  Of course I won't give the creep any info.  He then asked if I wanted a free medical alert bracelet.  I'm sure if I had said YES he would have wanted info to "confirm" my Medicare info.  I said "no thank you" and disconnected.  I have now blocked this number.
