The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number,
All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want

They call several times a day for 4-5 weeks, then stop for a month or two before starting constant calls again. The number varies a little: 2770; 2747; 2772; 2773;
Scumbag collections frauds. I do not owe anyone any money. Stop calling my phone looking for someone who does not live here.
A message for **** ****.
If you are not **** ****, please hang up or disconnect.
By continuing to listen to this message, you acknowledge you are **** **** (no I don't....it's MY phone jerkoff).
This message contains personal and private information, so you should listen to it in private.
There will now be a 3 second pause (incredibly generous of you) in this message to give you an opportunity to ensure your privacy for the remainder of this message.
This is Mary Jones (wow, how generic), a debt collector from Nationwide credit.
This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
Please contact me about an important business matter at 866-218-3869.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
This party is calling every day, using -2770, -2771, -2772, and not leaving any message on the answering machine.
Keeps calling; no answer.
The dirty secret is that the calls are placed by a large commercial fundraiser in Akron, InfoCision. As Jerry noted, the calls are exempt from Federal DNC under the charity status, even though such call centers are very much for-profit and pocket most of what these annual campaigns collect. In the case of Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation, the deception is compounded. However, as a commercial entity, InfoCision is expected to honor its own no-call list and add any number upon request. Break that order, the FTC declares, and "the telemarketer may be subject to a fine of up to $16,000."

This 'Wings of Rope-a-Dope' bunch has been discredited for some time now. Here is a crippling investigation of this sham charity from an autism expert:
neurodiversity.com
When I answer there is no one there. I called the number back and got a recording "Thank you for calling the Autism Foundation Wings of Hope Program. We are sorry we missed you. We will try calling you again...."
Can't talk to anyone personally to tell them to remove your name. GRRRRRRRR
These folks called and left no message. I called the number back and got recording stating that this is the " Autism,Wings of Hope Program." These folks phone under several different numbers. Unfortunatley, since they are a charity they can call with impunity.
