2. I get them every once in a while - but it's been going on for a while, and it
hasn't escalated as of late. Drives me nuts.

8. The one I got today was the weirdest to date... The guy asked..
if I was this name... Correct sir name but wrong first name... Wanted to verify the last 4 digits of my social insurance... He read the numbers to me and I think was expecting me to say no thats not right, they actually are ...... I did neither actually just said no and hung up...

5. I get these all the time, but I don't answer them. Experience has
shown me that they are most likely to be telemarketers.

6. Did you renew your "no call" list status?
It recently expired, so if you were on it and didn't renew you could be getting more weird calls for that reason

13. I read last week that it's not expiring.
In fact, they're extending it.

17. The program isn't expiring, but individual entries are
It lasts a certain number of years. If you were among the first to sign-up then your initial sign-up expired a few months ago, and you have to re-up. (Unless something has changed very recently. I expired and had to re-up.)

7. It's usually polls or political orgs asking for donations
And also charities looking for donations of money or household goods pickups in our area.

9. Caller ID is your friend
If it says unknown, I don't answer it. Same with 800 numbers.

10. Usually if you get Unknown name and Unknown number
it is someone asking for a donation. Usually political or the Fireman or Police...Anybody else usually has at least a phone number or the name listed. One or the other. I don't answer.

22. Yes, and the person on the other line asks me
1) do you plan on attending the Iowa Caucuses in 2008 2) have you decided who you will support in the Iowa Caucuses in 2008? 3) do you have a second choice for the Iowa Caucuses in 2008? Then they thank me and tell me to have a nice night.
