I signed up for a Pinger free text account awhile back and now I get these: "Just called you at your Pinger number" message." No text follows.

Called and did not leave a message. As previous posts have mentioned, they call even on Sunday.

they call every day it says Market information on the caller id

Same here! I've been getting repeated calls from this number. The first I got a call I answered but there was only silence. I don't answer anymore and they have never left messages. Btw, I'm on the "Do Not Call" list also but it doesn't seem to help as much.

stop calling me at my workphone!!

Just got a call from this number they did not leave a message.

Really, a telemarketing call at 1015 Sunday morning. This "research " company just found out my number is not to be in thier call list.  Blocked them on my phone and fwd. To the ill atty. Gen.

this company called me and HUNG up when I answered the phone - who are you?

Have received multiple calls from this number, for many months.  I have asked them to stop calling me but they continue to call.  One evening I asked them to never call me again; they called back 45 minutes later.  Since they claim to not be selling anything they may not be considered telemarketers and therefore the Do Not Call registry doesn't apply to them.  Will look into blocking this number; the harassment is wearing me down.  I've already submitted a complaint to the FCC.  Don't know what else to do.

Called on my business line, I faked a foreign accent and told them I didn't speak English in broken English.  They hung up on me.

I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST therefore you should not be calling this number. I thought these type of calls were not suppose to be called on a SUNDAY. Plus the person who called was very hard to understand. I did not understand the company's name or why they were calling. These type of calls are the whole reason I am on the DO NOT CALL LISTING.

the attorney general huh? I'm sure he's busy taking care of actual criminals from raping your kids on the way home from school.

Just take it like a man Pat, and make a complaint the right way... or ... if you have a "good" phone company, use the Call Screening feature, and filter these calls from even getting through to your phone line.

Despite what they lead you to believe, they might be nothing more than a back door operation for telemarketers.

I blame the FCC and the federal government for not addressing this issue correctly and protecting the public from this form of harassment.  The "DO NOT CALL" registry is a joke.  

So much for one's privacy.  It's bad enough that they are allowed to call without an invite, but to blatantly ignore one's request to not call back should be criminal.  I can't help but believe they intentionally call back repeatedly only to be a nuisance, as if it's a way for the caller to take out a bad day on others. Or maybe the caller truly gets enjoyment out of aggravating others, knowing they will not personally be held accountable.

Think about it.  What a pathetic job.  One has to be pretty hard up to sit at a phone and rationalize calling someone at home is justified, knowing that many are aggravated by such actions.  Bet these same employees get just as aggravated when their called at home for the same reason.  Try asking these callers for their home number so that you can call them back at a more convenient time, good luck with that.

Then you have the phone companies charging their customers extra for a service that would allow blockage of these numbers.  Ok, so now I'm forced to pay extra (extortion) to block the number? But even with the paid service, "Call Intercept",  Verizon only gives me a total of 25 numbers I can block.  WTF?

I would like this number to stop calling my home. They don't leave a message, just call, call, call.

How do I stop this?

I got a call from this number on my cell phone today (10/15/10). When I answered, they hung up. My cell phone is registered with Do Not Call, so I will report it.

some guy called me today and said that he was doing a a survey for a radio station.  all he asked was if there were any females in the house i told him no and he hung up the phone     hmm makes you wonder huh. so it seems to me that this person or persons are into quite a few things.

Did this work for you?  I just went and plugged in my number as they have been calling repeatedly for the last week.

This number calls me at least once a day leaving a recorded message about $15 carpet cleaning "in my neighborhood."  What's weird is the message doesn't have a company name nor a phone number, so even if you want the carpet cleaning, you can't call them back.  When you call the number directly, you get the exact same message.

In addition to the previous comment...the Hispanic voice as mentioned by C Urban.. was a real resident.  He was mad a people calling him from their CID.  His number wasn't even the same as the CID, but it linked back to him.  Weird!

When I called this phone number back they said they were a research marketing group for products and services. The message proclaimed that they were not a telemarketing firm and would never attempt to sell anything to anyone. I know one thing if they ever call my phone number again, I will report it to the Attorney General in my state because I am on the National Do Not Call List and whether they are trying to sell anything or not I do not accept these type of phone calls on my home phone line!!! I do not accept anything other than personal phone calls from family and friends, that is the extent of it unless I initiate a business phone call myself. When it comes to the other types of phone calls I just do not tolerate them AT ALL and report them!!!

I get a call everyday. I answered yesterday 4/10/09 and the guy told me they were a marketing research (MIS research) company looking to interview me. I hung up. They called again today 4/11/09. I am tired of it.

calls about 3 times a week wanting me to take a survey and answer a few questions. I informed them im on the DNC list and please dont call back. The calls keep coming. I informed them I was contacting The Missouri Atty. Gen. office and did make contact with them..but the calls keep coming..the next time they call it will be a good cussing followed by another call to MO. Atty. gen.

I am on the do not call list and have an unlisted number.  They claim they auto dial people.  They call on a sunday afternoon.  Do they have nothing better to do than disturb people on sundays.

Today,July 1,2009,Wed.,I received a call from 619-237-1454 (company name is:  MIS).  I missed the call and when I called the number back which was on my caller ID, a recorded message by a man who said, "We are MIS Research and we conduct research surveys over the phone".

calls everyday, tired of it.....I do not answer and I do not have a answering machine.  glad to know that it is not important and i will also call to report...

I received 5 calls from this number this month and every time I answer, it starts in the middle of what sounds like a collect call request. "to accept the charges, press 2 to listen in on the message." My caller ID says this is from the San Diego area. I haven't tried calling it back. When I miss calls from this number, it doesn't leave a message.

I just received my first call from this number but didn't answer it...only saw it on caller ID.  No one left message, so I looked it up on internet wondering who it was.  After seeing the other posts on this website, I wonder if I'm in for the h*ll of receiving multiple calls from this number.  I am also on the Do Not Call Registry, but our phone number is listed.

HAVE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY FOR THE LAST 2 OR 3 DAYS. NEVER LEAVES A MESSAGE ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE, JUST HANGS UP. WE ARE ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST AND AM GETTING TIRED OF IT.

Here's the contact info from their website. The President/CEO's info wasn't listed, but it wasn't difficult to figure out.
I'm sure they would love to get some direct feedback from the people they inconvience.
Don't be polite.

I tried tracing the call back using CID - redial, it got me to a resident...not a  market research company.  When the number called again, it was from a survey company for the yellowpages based out of San Diego.  I told the man to take me off the survey's phone list (this was the second time I had told them).  We shall see if it works.
