same call at April 16 2012

I got this call during SCHOOL. I totally freaked out, and when I saw it on my phone, it had no name in the caller ID

SCAM

206-445-6153 - Called my work number, left a message about answering a 10 question survey and getting a free cruise.  Definitely a SCAM!

Anyone knows who this is?

Got an unwanted call from 206-445-6153. Scam

206-445-6153 - Called my cell but didn't answer.  I can recognize a foggin icehole when I see it.  BLACKLISTED! :)

just called me too.  No message.  Scam

I too recieved a call from this number.  Did not anwer, no message left.  Bunch o maroons trying to con honest people out of their money.  Sounds like something a politician would do.......

Received call from 206-445-6153 but did not answer. I'm assuming that the MRK RCH referenced above stands for Market Research.

Automated voice message system that promised two (2) FREE complimentary boarding passes for a cruise to the Bahamas if I took a 1-minute survey.

Ha. That's a good one. Nothing's free these days.

Same number called with same caller ID of "MRK RCH". Did not answer. No message left. I am in Texas and at a workplace. First time for this call to come. Hopefully the last.

Recorded message offering a cruise in exchange for survey answers.

Caller ID came up as "MRK RCH"

Number just tried calling me 15 min ago. I did not answer, they left no voice mail. I have received calls from this number tons of times in one day months back. Because I do not answer unknown numbers it seemed weird that I ended up getting about 6 more calls from numbers starting with this area code and 445 seconds or even minutes after this number tried to call. I remember answering months back because I was so sick of the phone ringing and it was nobody on the line so I hung up. Ever since then I have not gotten a phone call since now.

Just got this call at my place of business as well...My phone displayed the verbiage " MRK RCH" as well.

and you will be charged $1000 PER VIOLATION. My phone system logs all calls and numbers, it sends it to my email so I can print it out and send it to attorney general

Just rec'd a call from this #.  But, the caller left no message.
