got a call from this number, when I tried to call it back no one answered

I've received several calls from this number on my land line, which I haven't answered because I don't know anyone in the 503 area code. Today I received one on my cell phone, which I decided to answer on a whim. The caller seemed polite and immediately identified his company. He further stated that he wanted to know if I'd be willing to participate in a phone survey. He was considerate enough to say that he could call on another line at some other time if it wasn't a good time for me to talk on the cell phone. He repeatedly assured me it wasn't a marketing call or a request for solicitations.

So far, so good. I have nothing against market surveys or demographic research as such, but I'm reluctant to give out personal information to parties unknown to me. When he asked me the year of my birth I felt very uneasy and told him I didn't care to give out such information. The caller simply bid me a good day and ended the call.

don't know who it is

This company calls at all hours of the day and night. I have repeatedly requested that they not call my home any longer and they are extremely rude and argumentative.

The DNC list should extend to survey companies as well. Especially ones who call you at nearly 8pm, several nights in a row. If only I were a little closer, I would make sure that they did not call anyone else ...

Four calls from them last night spaced about 2 hours apart.  The last one was at 9:30 PM.  We work early and have to get up very early so we were asleep at 9:30 PM.  I almost called them at 4:00 AM to let them know how it feels.  Why are they not subject to the same guidelines as other telemarketers?  VERY annoying.

This caller calls around 8 or 9 am Sunday morning.  Wish they would stop calling.  

Got a text from this number... Hey

The same number calls all the time but with a different exchange (677).  They hang up when you answer

This number has called several times in the last few days, and I have not picked up until today.  This time I did, but there was nothing but a strange beep on the line.  Had I seen these comments beforehand, I would not have picked up now.

By the way, the URL for the Bernett Research site, shown in PWS's comment on 3/11/11

is incorrect and returns a 404 error.

You luis Nd today. We the at  day.
Hilda sister. Baby. Luis makes make. For luis

Stop calling and get a F-life dumb a**!

Twice today...once at 8:06pm and again at 9:25pm waking my 9 month old daughter up (you motherf***ers!!!!!). Both times they asked if I'd like to take a survey about my radio listening habits but as soon as I let them talk I hang up. If I had known that my daughter was woken up by the second call before I hung up the phone, I would have given that b**ch a piece of my mind!!!. Sorry for the rant/swearing but this is a huge problem (among other problems) in this country and yet our government wants to tell us/limit us in what we should eat and drink but not take care of the real issues this country has.

Got 5 calls from this party.  They call at all hours and they don't respond when I answer.

Look Reagan, you said you never answered. Of course they called back. Figured you weren't home and trying to get respondents to fit their demographics.  Just answer and say you aren't interested.

Thanks for this advice.  I just did this.  Let's see if it works.  I have to admit, though, that I'm getting just paranoid and cynical enough to think that whenever you do something to "unsubscribe" or otherwise remove your name or number from some list they just sell it to someone else.  My home and cell phone number are entered in the Do Not Call Registry, so who knows?

I received calls from this number this weekend!  Not a good time to call.  I sent emails to their corp. offices and left emails in their...contact us back slot.  UGHHHH

They keep calling my cell phone and hanging up.  Since I have no affiliation with this company and have no way to tell them to stop calling at all hours, I plan on documenting every call over the next 30 days and taking them to my local small claims court to sue for the maximum allowed for harrassment.  You can't call someone after 10:00 p.m. and before 08:00 a.m. It's illegal and you can sue for it.  I can then have the U.S. Marshall's collect the amount owed from the company anywhere in the United States.  Hey people, you really don't have to put up with this - sue them!

This number keeps calling every night during dinner. They never leave a message. When I called back, the mail box is full.  It doesn't say who the company is.

Thank you...

They called my cell phone and did not leave a voice mail.  I have no idea how they got my cell number.

It is coming from a research company that take surveys.  If you go to this website the is an option to opt out of call list on the bottom of the page.  This will remove you from there list.

This person just called me - at 12am! Who calls a stranger at midnight? I just let the phone ring. I didn't recognize the number, it was listed as "unknown", so I didn't bother to pick up. This person called three times today.

This Pershing keeps calling me and says nothing!!

This is Bernett Research.  You can view the site at bernett.com.  They ask questions for other companies.

Strange.  Called me using someone else's name.  Double the harassment with one call!

same as everyone else i have caller id so never answer

If you go to this url it will tell you why they are calling you and give you the option to opt out.
