These people at "ESG Research" or "Political Opinions of America" who are making these illegal telemarketing robocalls are not taking a real survey. That's part of their scam -- an attempt to get around the do not call list by using a fake survey. They are spoofing dozens of different phone numbers from all over the country.
The first fake company was ripping off a couple of real companies with similar-sounding names. The second fake company now has a fake website.
If you press any number (or fill in a form on their fake website) to have yourself removed from their calling list, you are only confirming that your number is real, etc.
The cruise is not free. You will have to give them a credit card to 'hold' your reservation. They will charge 'small fees' to it. However, the fees are not small and are NOT refundable. Some people who have fallen for this scam have also had to sit through interminable time-share presentations with high-pressure salespeople. Come on!
Hang up. Block the number if you have that capability, or add the number to your phone's address book under SCAM. Immediately report each scam call that you receive to www.donotcall.gov. If they don't know about it, they cannot do anything about it.

Repeated calls where the line disconnects after I answer.

No message. When I answered, nothing on the other end. When I called back, the line was always busy.

Supposedly from "ESG Research" about a survey, and you can win a cruise by completing the survey. Not legit.

Scam calls from "ESG Research", but not the real ESG.

Got that call too - Recorded call about a survey- free cruise. Hung up at that point
Its a telemarketer using Survey's as an excuse to call those on the do not call list and sell you something.

Unsolicited call received 1/2/12.

I answered w/ my name, and a recorded message started.
Said it was for a survey regarding economic policies or something of that sort, but that for completing the survey, they would give a free cruise. I hung up at this point.
