Instead of complaining on here look it up
The study website is
Cdc.gov/nis

I asked them to take me off the call list and they continued to call me several times a day for days at at time.  I went on the CDC website and email them my disdain.  I got a response within 12 hours and they PROMISED to take me off the call list.  This is a ridiculous way for the CDC to try to illicit information in this day and age.  Think of all the time and money wasted on these hang up calls.

Sorry to ruin your day but the national immunization survey is exempt from the national do not call list do to the fact it is a federal government agency the CDC can call you anytime it is a federal agency sorry for the bad news.

Same comments as above


stop calling


I know this will be ignored

Well the call was at 7 pm. Claiming to be a survey from the CDC Center for Disease Control... I actually completed the whole dang thing- it took 30 minutes and 10 seconds... whew I must be a sucker for surveys.  Anyways I did google the phone number as soon as I hung up... I was dumb enough to give them my address... hmmm maybe they will send me a bonus lmao

I have been recieving a call from this number every night between 5pm and 830pm. I will not answer this call now that I have read the comments below. Thank you all for keeping us informed. Spam is crap.

I also got a call from this number, sadking about immunizations. When they started asking for cell/house phones, and also salary info, I hung up.

They say they are duing a survey for CDC but I think this crap. This is a spam as far as I am concerned.

how do you report this to the police, and does it have any effect?

this number will nto stop calling me

# NANPA: Assigned Chicgozn01, Illinois (Ameritech Illinois)
# Reverse Lookup for 312-759-5263

I have received a call from this number 3 times now - once at my home number and twice on my work cell phone. They said they were from the CDC. I've just been ignoring the calls on my work cell. Wish this crap would stop.

That's right Millsap, you better straighten up. Americans are watching.  I like your padded response though.  

BTW, a person would not post if they did not have a problem.

Received a call, after one week they finally left a voicemail asking me to call 888-990-9986, was a contractor for the CDC taking a survey on their behalf, took 5 minutes, they asked no question that would bother a normal person I.E. no name, SSN or anything that could be used in a scam. Mostly was about if any child in my household had special needs and when they have/have not received their flu shot this year.

BTW, THEY ARE NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, even if they were who cares.  Knowing this, they are committing fraud and should be shown no mercy, in terms of litigation that is or a bad a flaming crap at their door step.

I also have been getting calls from this number...I will not answer because it is an unknown number to me.   I am going to report this number also.  Never answer calls from numbers you do not know.  If it is truely someone who wants to talk to you, they will leave a message and you can call them back.  Who the hell gets unknown calls from chicago????

i wish i would have searched this number earlier. I really wish it wasn't happening to all of you, but i am glad i'm not the only one ignoring them. i answered the first or second time they called back in september and told them i was not interested in participating. since then, i have recieved calls EVERY day- sometimes twice. luckily, they call during school hours and my phone is usually on silent but i really can't handle it anymore.

this number keeps on calling...spamming my phone with voice messages...tired of this crap...

I have gotten three calls from this number over the last four days. I refused to answer since they called and didn't leave a message each and every time.

This is clearly not from the CDC. The CDC does NOT do this sort of thing. It is a violation of the law.

oh and I forgot to add that they never said who they were or who they were working for they just went to say that my number was picked for a cell phone survey.... I just reported both calls to the do not call thing and I will more if they keep calling...

I really doubt they are because why would they tell me that my cell number was picked for a cell phone survey hmmmmmmm?????

I 2 have gotten 2 calls from this number the first time my bf awnsered because I dont like awnsering calls for numbers I dont know. Suposedly my cell phone number was picked to be part of a cell phone survey(which is a bunch of crap) he said he wont awnser anyquestions and that this number was on the DO NOT CALL list then he hung up.. that number called me a second time this week just a  little bit ago but since I didnt know the number I didnt awnser...

We have no one to call ... sadly.

With a capitol "D"

I have received 7 calls from this number in less than a week 1-2 calls a day. they left 1 message stating they are doing a survey on families with teenaged kids, who said I even have kids?????

Annoying, annoying, annoying!!!! Will they ever give up?! It seems as though the "Do Not Call" list "Does Not Matter".

I bought a cell phone for emergencies only last month.  I have gotten 5 calls from this number so far.  I have not set up voice mail because I do not want to have anyone leaving messages that I would have to pay for.  This would really make me mad if they were leaving messages on my prepaid cell phone.  Thank you to all the above messages about who is calling.

Like everyone else, I literally get a phone call every single day from this number.  The more I complain, the more calls I get.  I'm not sure who to report this to, because it is harassment at the very least.  They claim to be doing research/surveys for the CDC, but that under no circumstances gives them the right to constantly call you even after you refuse to be a part of it.  It is unethical for any surveyor to pressure a person into taking a survey.  This should be taken as a very serious scam/spam.

Crap.... I **just* hooked up my new cell (a Government cell phone, I might add) and got a call from this number.  Rec'd many calls from it on my old work number.  Crazy.  Need to figure out how to block it.
