202-329-5143 / 2023295143

I got dead air when I picked up and I am located in Alberta (area code 403).

Just received a phone call from that number with nobody on the line after few Hello! hung off. I'm from Québec.

Dead air. Don't bother picking it up the phone when you see 202-329-5143 calling.

I get these calls from District of Columbia 202-329-5143. Is Obama calling to ask my opinion about something? If not, I'm not interested. Can we say annoying?

got this call too. no voice. wondering why they bother to call.

Answered and free cruise robo call message... again..live in Quebec

Just got this call in Peterborough, Ontario. No message left.Heads up for people. i have followed more than one of these calls from the States and elsewhere who claim you have won a trip, etc. I have answered and purposely played along with the spiels in order to eventually get to the end person responsible for these telemarketing calls from outside the country.You usually have to push the right buttons, then someone comes on and gives you the spiel and says someone will call you right back.The person who calls you back is actually a Canadian business at least half of the time.Canadians are using foreign telemarketers to circumvent the Canadian DNC lists and laws. I had a very lengthy and very straight forward and rather loud discussion with a business owner of some health supplement business in Quebec who had gotten in touch with me through her American telemarketing team who I had played along with.I told her I would report her if they ever phoned here again. I haven't heard from them since. Until I decided to find out who was at the end of the chain of these calls, they had been phoning here from the states three or four times a day.. I have so far caught four Canadian businesses that were using foreign telemarketers to get around the DNC lists. I just keep reporting them.

First of all is doesn't matter where the AC is assigned. The call is most likely not coming from anyone in Washington area. It could be from anywhere. The best way to handle all such calls is first of all, get an answering machine or sign up for voice mail from your service provider. Set up your voice machine or voice mail to ring a bunch of times before kicking in. Mine is set for 8 rings. A computer is calling you. All they want is for you to answer. Once you answer your you have told them that first of all your phone number is active and alive. Second you have told them that you are one of those people who answer a phone call no matter who calls. This makes your phone number very high ranking on the "market". And, yes, there is a market for your phone number. All numbers are collected by the computer and then sold off to those sort of companies who care nothing about such things as "blocked call lists" and the like. If the call is important to you the caller if it is a real caller will leave a message for you.DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ANSWER ANY PHONE CALL FROM A NUMBER THAT YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY!!!Yes, I got the call here a few minutes ago. And, no, I did not answer it. And, they (it) did not leave a message. No problem here. No need of going out and purchasing another fancy phone.Bill

al ways getting calls from these numbers...annoying me..usually no-one there .I live in P.E.I
