Kucinich Robocall For Impeachment Came Up "Debt Reduction" on Caller ID - WTF?
I just got a call that said "Debt Reduction" on the caller ID and came from the number 206-629-8623. I did not answer it and figured whoever it was would likely NOT leave a message. Well there was a message and it was from Kucinich asking for support of impeachment.

I just called back the number and it was a recording saying press one if I want a call back from customer service within 24 hours, or press two if I want to be removed from future calls from "our company." The company was not named. When I pressed two it then asked me to enter the phone number I want removed from their list. I then hung up.

Anybody else get a similar call?

BTW, when I put that number in Google there are reports from others citing weird calls from this number.

Also, 206 area code is Seattle, obviously not where Kucinich is from, nor where I live.

:wtf:

3. Sounds like they outsourced it to a telemarketing company.
And whoever programmed the dialer forgot to change the Caller ID field.

6. Thanks. I don't know either.
I left a message on DK's DC phone. I didn't leave my number or ask them to call back, which they likely wouldn't do anyway. But they probably have caller ID too so I didn't really need to mention it.
