Ever wonder why a nonexistent area code keeps ringing your phone? The pattern points to spoofed robocalls that hide the true source, often used for political polling or generic surveys. Since the number can’t be traced to a real carrier, it’s safest to treat it as spam and ignore. Let your carrier block the caller, register the number with the National Do Not Call Registry, and consider a third‑party call‑blocking app. If a voice‑mail appears blank, it’s likely an automated hang‑up—don’t call back. Stay vigilant and protect your personal info.
Ugh, I hope blocking this number works. Got this ridculous call from a likely scammer on 9/16/14 at 8:34 PM CT. So anoying!
It appears that a longstanding scam has resurfaced with a new number, employing revised tactics.
I never answer unknown numbers. But if I knew it was somone like this calling, Id be tempted to dare them to come after me, haha.
The issue lies in the fact that the number in question appears to be fabricated, with an area code and prefix that do not exist.
This numbers the democrat Partys fundraiser. Yeah, I didnt capitalize it, dont deserve it
Past two days, got 6 calls from this number. First few times I picked up, they just hung up. Today, woman kept sayin hello over and over, then left a msg
Just got a call, person didnt even bother talkin. Get a better job if you cant answe yer own calls, lol
Typically, politicians exempt themselves from legislation, including the Do Not Call List rules, by allowing "political calls" and "surveys" to bypass the DNC. This particular call originates from the Democratic National Committee and is therefore not bound by the DNC regulations. A possible response could be to inform them that their disregard for privacy will influence your voting decision in the next election, stating you will vote for the opposing party. This might prompt them to reconsider including your name on their call list.
If you're an AT&T customer, it's recommended that you block this number to avoid any potential issues.
At 9:40 in the morning, I participated in what seemed to be a live, albeit forced, political survey, which asked about my conservative, moderate, or liberal leanings, my party affiliation, and my opinion on the President's job performance, but the survey's limitations and lack of nuance were frustrating.
On June 27 at 18:57, a call was received with no message left, despite some inaudible utterance; notably, area code 200 is not recognized in the US or Canada.
On June 24, 2014, at approximately 10:15 am, a call was received from a number displayed as 200-200-0000 on caller ID, which was later found to belong to the Democratic Party; subsequent calls are undesired and the phone number should be added to the do-not-call list.
It's worth noting that area code 200 is non-existent. The call I received from 200-200-0000 is a prime example of number spoofing.
A dubious scheme was proposed by the caller from this number, claiming to be from the US Currency Dept, where they would provide a code and another number to verify identity, promising $200 in return for personal info.
Whaaat country is this number from?
In recent days, I have been inundated with 37 solicitations, including this one, which highlights the ineffectiveness of the DNC list.
They hang up on me, i guess they didnt like my opinon about their guy who is running for office, you can tell its getting close to elections.
You shoud never post your phone number in a public forum, now its availible to the public and they can do whatever they want with it
No msg left, just a blank call
Dealing with low lifes on a daily basis is frustrating, the *77 sugestion was tried, hopefully it will work, if the president can do one thing before leaving office, it should be to put an end to this type of harrasment.
The origin of the 200-200-0000 calls is unknown, and it appears to be a robocall with no one on the other end
Anyone who falls prey to such tactics must be extremely vulnerable.
It's astonishing that you would willingly provide sensitive information, thereby potentially falling prey to a scam that resembles identity theft, Reggie, if indeed that's your genuine name.
Some persons been ringin me about somethin to do with energy, told em I aint intrested and to take my number off their list
It is advised to report this incident to the relevant authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Justice, and to file a complaint with the FTC and FCC
Upon answering a call from an unusual number, I spoke with a girl named Emily, who offered a cruise and flight to Cancun, Mexico, in exchange for voting for a specific party and providing personal and financial information.
There were multiple attempts to reach me during dinner hours from a withheld number (200-200-0000), but I didn't engage, as we don't answer unknown numbers. It's clear that the caller had an agenda but was unsuccessful.
I payed for this line, so i dont want any other callers than my own selected numbers.
Area code 200? Yeah, that's a dead giveaway this number's a total scam.
Let the answering machine handle it, and all I got was some mystery word. Might've been 'hello', might've been 'uh uh', might've been someone chugging a beer. Who knows?
