About a half an hour ago I received a robocall on my business cellphone from this number: 202 600-2992
It's located in D.C.; no other identifying information showed up on either caller ID or in the part of the message I listened to before hanging up (I probably should have listened to the whole thing, or better yet, recorded it).
Anyway, the robocall was supposedly Mitt Romney (not sure if it was his voice or not) yammering on about Obama exploding the debt, we have to elect Romney, text some number to donate $3, bla bla bla.
I listened for about 40 seconds before hanging up, then realized that it's illegal for campaigns to robocall cellphones without your approval and decided to file a formal complaint with the FCC.
Of course, it might have been a scam (phony Romney soundalike, etc), but I'd like to think that it really was him, and really was his campaign, and that they really are gonna get busted by the FCC :)
Interestingly, this call came only 20 minutes after I received a robo-poll call to my cellphone...except this one came from a completely different phone number (still in D.C., however: 202 999-3840). It wasn't a push poll, though...just an unbiased, "If you plan to vote for Obama push 1, for Romney push 2, etc...the only other candidate mentioned was the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, which seemed a bit odd. A couple of demographic questions (age range, gender, party affiliation, and that was it, so I think it was a legit poll...but it never identified the source.
I played it straight...1 for Obama, ID'd as a Dem, etc...that was it.
Anyway, figured I'd throw this out there. Thoughts?
