Imagine fielding yet another scripted pitch from the Heritage Foundation and still feeling nothing but irritation. These calls are clearly automated political outreach, often labeled as robocalls or telemarketing recordings, and they rarely honor opt‑out requests. If you keep getting dialed, start by registering the number with the National Do Not Call Registry and use your carrier’s call‑blocking tools. Document each call—date, time, and any ID shown—so you can report it to the FTC or the FCC. When a request to be removed is ignored, consider filing a formal complaint; repeated unsolicited political calls can violate consumer‑protection rules.
Given its origin from DC, it's no surprise that this call seems to be politically motivated BS; researching the 'Heritage Foundation' online revealed why I'm glad I didn't answer.
Despite numerous attempts to request removal from the call list, and latterly insisting they do so, the calls persist; the number has now been blocked, whats going on?
In a short period of time, i have recieved 3 calls from this number, it's quite anoying
I dont usualy anser calls from unknown numbers, the caller ID said Unknown Name so I ignored it
It was 10:35 AM on June 10 2016 when i recieved a call from 202-548-5280, the caller ID showd HERITAGE FOUNDN, but i didnt pickup because i didnt recogize the number and they didnt leave a message afterwards.
A recorded message about the Heritage Foundation started playing after answering the phone, before stopping abruptly.
They called me today at 12:37 PM PDT
No message was left by the caller, thats all.
To avoid these anoying calls, I have blocked all numbers from this area code.
If I need a senator, I will contact them directly, Heritage should stop calling me.
Despite my multiple requests to be removed, I still recieve calls
At 4:09 pm, a recorded message from someone claiming to be 'Jessica' arrived, mentioning an upcoming event or speech.
A call was received from an individual claiming to represent the Heritage Foundation at 12:30 pm, but the message was cut off after the introduction; it seems they failed to review their own recording for errors.
Apparently, it was a robocall of politcal nature. I didnt listein verry closely, but atleast they provided their correct caller ID, which is verfied on Google Search as one of their numbers.
At 12:13 PM, I got a call from a number claiming to be the Heritage Foundation, which was a recorded message that abruptly disconnected when I held the phone - a clear indication of a joke call, and I wouldn't have continued anyway since I don't engage with taped calls.
The Heritage Foundation's automated message prompted me to 'press 1' to convey a message to my congressman, despite my previous requests to be removed from their contact list.
