I ahve recieved several calls from this number. I never answer calls from numbers I do not recognize, and they never leave a message.

Got a call from this number. No voicemail.

I picked up, but no one answered.

I got a call from this number and it was just simply asking me if I was still planning on attending a focus group that I'd signed up for, which was scheduled for the following day.  No harm done.

I just called and spoke to Monica, one of their secretaries, and asked to be removed:  208.364.0171

Excuse me Miss or Mr "I happen to work for that company".  If you're unsolicited calls are such a benefit to us, why don't you have the courtesy to leave a message rather than calling at all hours of the day and NEVER leaving a message.  Some of us work odd schedules and don't appreciate being awakened or disturbed by whatever your "benefit" is!  No wonder you get ill responses like this one.

I happen to work for that company and the reason we can call you is because we are not soliciting anything, we are not trying to sell you any product or service.  Our surveys are for your benefit we are only trying to get your opinion. http://www.nwrg.com/

Keeps calling - doesn't leave a message.  Really annoying.

please remove my phone number from your calling list and dont call me again

Got four calls from 208-947-0700 in the last two days (8:36AM and 2:54PM yesterday, 10:08AM and 12:13PM so far today).  No messages ever left.  I'm concerned that if I answer the call, the number will be designated as a working number by them, which they will sell to others, similarly with writing them an email.  Companies like this are a complete sham - regardless of what the owner posted.  They ARE out for profit.  Their practices ARE unlawful and they should be stopped.

Same as above.

Thanks all for the great info on this site!

Truly, a great resource, keep up the good work!

I asked to be removed from their list. No declaration of the DNC list. I wouldn't let them tell me the whole thing. I told them that regardless of the DNC list I am an Unlisted Number. I am a graveyard employee.

Anyhoo... I was told to call the Boise Office to have it removed. The toll free number is 1-800-859-2132. The girl was very polite and though could not remove the number herself (most likely a receptionist or answering service) she would email the number to the appropriate receident.

It takes up to 30 days.

Received a call from 208-947-0700 a Telemarketer, repeat a for-profit Telemarketer, not exempt from the FTC Do not Call Registry list.

Sent a message to byalch@nwrg.com to remove my number from their list.
------------
FTC Do not Call Registry  www.donotcall.gov
If you are a for-profit telemarketer, you are NOT an Exempt Organization, even if you call consumers on behalf of an Exempt Organization, such as a non-profit. See, e.g., National Federation of The Blind v. FTC, 420 F.3d 331 (4th Cir. 2005).
Additionally, you must be accessing the National Registry solely to prevent telephone calls to telephone numbers on the National Registry. Consumers should file a complaint at: https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

Janet is one of 20 telemarketers for the nice CAHPS® Hospital Survey as an (HCAHPS)Approved Survey Vendor. NW Research is still a for-profit Telemarketer and is not exempt, repeat not exempt from the Do Not Call Registry. To claim otherwise is a fraud, subject to removal by CAHPS.
Add this telezaper:  http://privatecitizen.com/sit-tone.wav
 to the beginning of your outgoing answering machine message. The three beep tones indicate that your number is not available, so telemarketers auto dialers will remove your number from their list.

Calls each day 208-947-0700. I emailed them, thank you previous poster for web address , asking them to put me on the dnc list.

We keep getting calls from this company several times a day, every day including weekends for the past several months.  Finally called the CEO's home number at (208)384-5724 and told her to personally take me off the list.  Perhaps if enough people retaliate it will make it too much of an inconvenience for this business to exist with its current practices.

claimed to be doing a survey with the community health plan

"Opinion Research Northwest (formerly Northwest Research Group) is a full-service, custom market research firm.  We conduct research for a wide range of clients seeking input on issues that drive their critical business decisions."  So, in other words you are doing the dirty work for businesses who can not call people who are on the DNC list. WHAT's the DIFFERENCE? You are just the annoying middle man!

I answered a call from this company.  Turned out it was a legitimate survey call.  The rep I spoke to was very professional and sensitive to my time.  

Like many that have posted here, I usually don't answer the phone if I don't know who the caller is.  And sometime I do.  I think these folks are OK.  They can legally call you until 9:00 pm unless yo specifically ask to be removed from their list.  You can also receive calls from charities and politicians which is funny because both are actually trying to sell you something while a survey company isn't!

I am getting calls from 1.208.947.0700.  I am in the do not call list and  they are annoying.  How can I get them to stop the calling.

recieved calls from NW research and they hang up everytime very annoying they should be sued for violating the dnc which im on!!

I have received at least six annoying calls so far from these obnoxious prostitutes. It seems their motto is "Anything for a buck for me, and the hell with everyone else!" But just because someone can get away with something, that doesn't make it right. I called (208)384-5724 and apparently spoke with Rebecca Elmore-Yalch (NW Research CEO) at home to demand removal from their call list. She was not very nice. Maybe she doesn't like being called at home either. Like other annoyed people, I plan to call her in the evening everytime I get a call from her harrassing company. Hopefully there's a special place in hell for these bad people that make the world a worse place for their own financial benefit.  GRRRRRR!!!

Opinion Research Northwest (formerly Northwest Research Group) is a full-service, custom market research firm.  We conduct research for a wide range of clients seeking input on issues that drive their critical business decisions.

We obtain telephone numbers from a wide range of sources.  Some are random digit dial (RDD) samples designed to reach all households in a target region, city, or nationwide.  Both listed and non-listed telephone numbers are included in this sample.  Some are listed samples provided by our clients. In this case, all should be vetted to ensure that you have agreed to be contacted as an existing customer of this client.

When we call, we make multiple attempts to a single telephone number.  This is an important part of the survey research process.  Results would obviously not be valid if we only talked to those people who answered the telephone on a first attempt.  All contacts are identified by our Caller ID -- so that you may call our main number back for more information.  In addition, we routinely leave messages on your answering machines / voicemail about the survey we are conducting.

Survey research is an important aspect of business.  We do research to assist businesses in how to better provide existing services to their customers, design new products / services to better meet the needs of existing and new customers, and to understand how to communicate with you better.  At no time will a legitimate survey research organization attempt to sell you anything.  Moreover, all responses you provide will be kept strictly confidential.

Because survey research firms do not sell any products or services, they are not covered by the National, State, or Local Do-Not-Call (DNC) lists.  Therefore, even if you are registered on the DNC lists your number may be released for survey research purposes.

If you have received a call from us and you do not ever wish to receive another market research call from us, please contact us directly by calling the number on your Caller ID (208-947-0700) or by e-mailing info@nwrg.com.  We will immediately put you into our internal DNC list and will not contact you again.  We also forward your number to the sampling companies and clients that provided us with your number for exclusion from their databases.  We cannot guarantee that you will not be contacted by another survey research organization, our client, or a telemarketing firm.

I would hope that you would recognize the value of legitimate survey research.  ORNW is a member of the Council of American Survey Research Organizations.  We are a subsidiary of Opinion Research Corporation / US -- a founding member of this prestigious organization.  If you would like more information on the standards for this organization as well as your rights as a respondent, I strongly urge you to visit their web site at www.casro.org/codeofstandards.cfm.

I appreciate your time in reading this posting.  And more importantly I appreciate the time people take in understanding the value of legitimate survey research and providing the input that businesses need today to make critical business decisions.  Your responses are truly valued by the clients we serve and hope that you will continue to take part in this important decision-making process.

I, too, have been receiving calls from this number.  I called the number and asked to be removed from this list.  I also got the reply that they're exempt from that law.  They said they would remove my number, however.  I did a little "research" of my own.  The home phone number of Ms. Yalch is 208-384-5724.  I called her to let her know that I will call her at home every time someone from her company calls me, no matter what time it is, day or night.  That should be enough motivation to take me off that list.
Have at it, people!

They've called me several times over the past few days. I never answer. Thanks for putting this site up, it is very helpful. Maybe we should contact the owner directly and ask her to remove our numbers from their call list since they hold themselves beyond the Do Not Call law:

They left no message - just a missed call from this number.  It's nice to have websites like this so I know who's bugging me!

Received six calls from this number over the weekend.  The caller never left a message.

Called the number this morning   Owner of company is Rebecca Yalch.  Address is 2323 South Vista - Boise, Idaho.  About 60 employees.

Company response was that they are allowed to call the DNC numbers.  I reminded them that under the same law there is a statement "anyone causing a phone to ring - to annoy" violates the law.  I stated that multiple calls without a message are harrasment.  They said that my number will be excluded from future calls.

Caller ID showed "NW Research". They said they are calling from Northwest Research Group - NWRG - "is a full service, strategic marketing research and consulting firm that delivers the power of knowledge for use in business decision-making to our client partners nationwide" (from their website). I said I am on the do not call list and do not want to be called.

She said she wants to do a survey and they don't have to follow the DNC regulations.

Here is their website. I am trying to get my number removed through it: www.nwrg.com
