Re: Steve in MA:
Thanks so much for a very informative post on this number.  I gives me everything I need to know regarding whether or not to block the number.  Thanks for taking the time so others may benefit.

I got the same call from the pollsters posing as __ "Dewey - Skruum & Howe"

Rec'd call also from 412 226 0147.  Said it was from John, no accent in his voice, wanted to ask me one question:  Did I vote in last election.  Asked if he could call again once a month.  Did not say why he was calling or from what organization.  Gave me same Web site to visit as mentioned above:  www.votethewill.org

Caller id was "John Inform Ele".  Wasn't going to pick it up but someone started talking that sounded like a human voice asking if I voted in the last election.  I picked it up and he asked if he could call me back monthly with short surveys.  I said as long as he identified himself.  Then he said something like ok and thank you very much sounding like he didn't want to pursue the conversation any further and he hung up.

Some idiot called just to hang up on the answering machine.
