800-816-3521

Caller ID "Toll Free Caller".  Did not go through the prompts to bypass my call screening device.

One call a day for the last few days from this number (800-816-3521).  Never leaves a message.
I have "selectively" forwarded the number to voicemail so I don't need to hear it ring anymore.  No message, no answer.

been calling repeatedly over the last few days.  Didn't leave a vm.

Called me several times recently and left no message.
Called me today and left message "County Transit meeting".

Got a call tonight saying it was for San Francisco election survey.   From the questions asked, it was encouraging voters to vote no for proposition F.  Airbnb probably paid this company to call people.  I blocked this number after the call.

They call several times a day. When answering machine picks up they leave no message. It is very annoying.

Called but left no message.  After reviewing the other reports, I blocked the number.

I don't know where you got your information but it won't work.  These people don't care - they don't use their own phone numbers and probably aren't in the country.  Go ahead and file a complaint and see what our government does - NOTHING.  And this is a political call which our government says is completely legal.  Take off your rosy glasses.

Just got call. They left no message    based on all previous posts I blocked #.

Hit 1, and they won't call you back again.  No, they'll sell your number to someone else with a need for phone numbers with live warm bodies answering.

The voice mail gave its schpiel, "leave your number at the beep"; then it beep'd; a moment passes... A woman's voice says, "Hello?"; then the sound of phone hanging up; then the second beep.  Sheesh, clueless much?

I might have picked up if there was SOME SORT of ID, if only to tell them they had the wrong number.  HA!  Not.

I really wish there was an opt-in for receiving political, charity etc calls.  Sure you have a right to free speech, but I have a bigger right to NOT BE ANNOYED!!!!

Political & religious calls are exempt from do not call..simply ask them to remove you

Political and charitable calls are exempted from the Do Not Call index.  However, many companies do random numbers and there are few teeth in the law.  I've suggested a hefty fine (e.g., $100/call made by the company answered or not) plus costs of finding, prosecuting and collecting, with no recourse to bankruptcy and if the company cannot pay all the costs, those in charge of the companies would be held legally responsible for the rest, again without being permitted to declare bankruptcy, with any and all property being subject to being taken to meet the fine/costs, including homes, cars, savings, retirement, investments, jewelry, etc., and any property in others' names paid for in part by income from the business.  However, this concept has not gained traction.  Given the number of calls per company, plus their being responsible for the costs of finding, etc. them,  it would be profitable for private parties to track down many of these companies and turn them over for prosecution.  Calls from outside the the U.S., which are many, would be harder to control unless their is a suspension of U.S. laws to capture and take violators and their property since capture teams would need to be sent in and the violators brought back outside usual legal ways.

Received a call but no message was left.  I had gotten a call earlier that had my own name and phone number on the caller id...so thought maybe this was them calling again.

The message was from SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) asking people to call another 800 number to participate in a tele town hall meeting.

Sorry, that DOESN'T WORK for political or religious calls.

Actually, I'd say that the DNC list works to the extent that it's possible to work.

It has eliminated a lot of telemarketing calls from what one could at least charitably call "reputable" organizations.  Remember when you used to get calls from various and sundry phone companies trying to get you to sign up for their long distance plan?  Most of those calls are a thing of the past, at least in my experience.

What's left are the crooks and sleazeballs who operate on, again to be charitable, the fringe of the law.

Sadly, no law is going to stop them from calling you because they have no respect for the law, whether it's the DNC or anything else.

Just like we have speed laws and some people speed or we have laws against robbing liquor stores but some people still rob liquor stores, the DNC stops reputable telemarketing (and, yes, we can debate "reputable" all day) from calling us but the crooks and the scofflaws, not so much.

My advice, which is worth every penny you pay for it, is to get an answering system if you don't already have one and just let it go to the machine.  If it's a legitimate call, they'll leave a message.  If it's a scammer, about 99 times out of a hundred they'll just drop the call and move on to the next number in the list.

Yes, it's mildly annoying to have the phone ring when it's just junk but that there's life here in the glorious future.

There's no point in getting worked up over it. Seriously. It's just not that important.

Third call from these scum.... I never answer and they leave no message.  I dial back and they say "political outreach organization".  Called on the 24th, 27th and 28.....

Political calls are exempt from the DNC registry.

I agree FCC is useless in handling complaints. They may be overloaded, but maybe the phone companies should stop issuing or revoke the phone numbers of the scammers, robot callers, and nuisance callers in general.
