hey let me tell you, that this number are call centers from the Philippines, my husband always receive this call and on the time he talk to this people they know how to speak tagalog, some of them are using magic jack to have a US number or VOIP. The reason why they called up late coz of the time zone they don't know what the real time in the US coz they are depending on the time here in the Philippines. This was so annoying if I only know where in the Philippines are they located i will try to talk to them but I don't know how. For those who were listed in the DNC list, they could not view it in their system thats why they keep on calling and calling.

Called several times never left a message. We finally answered and asked them if they were allowed to call people on the do not call list their response was "we can call whoever the hell we want to call".  They supposedly were asking survey questions for yellow pages in our area.

This outfit calls daily and weekends, etc.  I do not answer but want to send back to them the benefits of this "research".  Go away.  Leave me in peace!

Call constantly and leave no message.

These idiots have been calling me twice a day all week.

This is becoming harassment. Calling me everyday. several times per day. even weekends. enough already.  If I wanted to talk to them I would have answered. If it was important they would leave a message and allow me the option to respond only if i wanted to.  This is harassment.

This number calls literally EVERY DAY, at least twice a day, often more. On weekdays, they call in the evening. On weekends, it's throughout the day. They never leave a message. I never answer. It's beyond annoying. Any class action suits against these people yet?

These bastards call every night shortly after 8 P.M. Since I have caller ID, I let their call go to voicemail but they never leave a message. I hope these bastards fry!!!

got a disconnected call when answered

Called every day and never left a message.  Finally out of curiosity and to end these unwanted calls, I answered and told them our number is on the "do not call" list and the woman caller said it doesn't apply to them.  I told her I'd refer it to our family attorney and let the courts decide and she laughed and said, "have a nice evening."  I hope I never hear from these creeps again.

Google is much better than the Yellow Pages.

After seeing this on my cell phone many times, I answered. It was a market research company doing a survey on local yellow pages. The only problem was the survey took about 20 min, but I really think they were legitimate based on the questions they asked. I said up front that I would not answer any questions on personal finances or race. When we got to those questions, she was polite about my refusal and skipped the questions. At the beginning of the survey the caller stated that I could refuse to answer any questions she asked. So I don't think this is a scam but be prepared for a 20 min. survey.

I am on the do not call list and this is irritating me

I will not pick up the call (858-428-3213)  because - because I do not recongnize the number is it's important they can leave a message

20 minute phone survey

receive calls form this # 1-858-428-3213 everyday now for the past few months.  they make at least 2 attempts everyday...i use the caller id, so i dont bother to talk to them...they never leave a message...i have filed a complaint with the ftc's "do not call" registry site also...we will see if they can put a stop to this crap...its about time they are punished --i suggest huge fines and prison....

Got a call from this number, said they were doing research on Vaccinations. I told them I was on a Do NOT Call List and they said they were allowed to call as they were doing research. This number has called many times while I was out and the number left on my caller ID. I hung up. They have now called back 4 times and I don't answer the phone. No message left.

They call every day, and have for the past couple of weeks. Since i don't know the number i don't answer. Well curiosity finally got the best of me, and i called them back, and the automated voice said the company is based in San Diago California, and they're a member of the Better business bureau. But that's all it said. I'm getting fed up with it, and i might just answer and tell them where to shove it next time they call.

I have recd over five calls in the last few days from 8584283213  with RESEARCG CNETER in the CID fieild.  No one ever answers or says anything. I finally told them they had better stop calling & I was reporting them.  Now when they call I either let go to answeting maching - they never leave a msg OR pick up and then immediately hang up OR pick-up and jsut hold donw one of the number buttons so they get a constant tone in tier either for 15-20 secomnds.  I will NOT cal them back because that is probably what ehy want & why shoud I spend MY money to call them

This number calls my house two to three times a day.  I have an elderly mother who wants to answer, I tell no.  I don't know this number so I will not answer it.  You can't trust who calls your house these days.

Answering machine message...Cursed a few times then blew his nose and hung up.

Twice last night, once today.  Something about a poll for vaccinations. Told them to stop calling me.  Very polite, said yes.  I'll believe it when I do not see this number ever again.

Market research call from company called Directions In Research, 7676 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 1300, San Diego, CA 92108. 1-800-676-5883, David Phife, Founder and President, dphife@diresearch.com

Called asking if I was Hispanic. At first claimed they were calling from San Diego, then admitted they were located in Costa Rico. Wanted to ask me questions about my use of technology for the market research company Directions In Research. This company is in San Diego CA, their contact phone numbers are 619-299-5883 or 800-676-5883.

These people constantly call my house seven days a week, morining, afternoon and night. They have also started calling my direct line at work. How they got my direct number for me my office is very puzzling to me. They call my direct number at work even on the weekends. I don't answer at work or at home. You would think they would get the message not to call.

may be we should answer call and mute the line and let them listen to dead air - if we do it enough it will take their time and money

These people call every day, I have asked them five times to stop calling me.
They say they are doing a poll for Yellowpages when they call here.

I hung up after telling him I have requested that your compnay sotp calling me many times and hung up so he waited 30 secnds or so and called right back.

It was a male voice on the phone and he mentioned Yellowpages Survey sepcifically.

LEAVE US ALONE.... DONT CALL ME I WILL CALL U!!!!!!!!!!!1

Call from this number came a few days ago. I did not answer. Caller ID said 'Research Center'. Obviously another scammer number.
