Yep, the old survey routine... they'll promise to remove your number, but you'll s**** getting calls a***n in a few months... You can add them to the list of companies that ignores Do Not Call. I found a call blocker a few months ago at http://www.BlockTelemarketers.net that works really well... with the push of a ****on it permanently blocks any more calls from any unwanted phone number. It's been a godsend, as I think I'm on every phone SPAM list in the world.

They have called dozens of times. They refuse to leave their telephone number, or an address, or to provide the name of the business. We think they are a collection agency, but as they refuse to answer basic questions, we have never gotten that far. If anyone finds their physical address, please post, because they need to be investigated by the applicable Attorney General.

I have called them late after hours to get to their voice mail, there is an option to press (1) to be removed from their registry, I may report back after a while to see if it does NOT work, if it did then I will no longer comment

I actually spoke to someone and she said it was a survey. I told her I wasn't interested in parti****ting but she comes back with, "But your opinion counts." I told her a***n no thanks and now they call at all hours of the day. So irritating.

9:20 on a Sunday evening. They said they were calling from "The Survey Center" and had a survey about Grocery Shopping that would take 5 minutes. I told them not at 9:20 on a Sunday night
