Received call from Key Research at 801-377- 7003. Same calls as previous callers. Another number to block.

PARANOIA TO THE MAX DUDE!
It is a "survey of bond issue results." People stand on street corners, and write down license plate numbers and ask you straight up how you voted on the local issues. MAJOR invasion of privacy! Don't answer. It's B S.

In addition to his e-mail and phone number, his home address is: 1021 W 1770 N OREM, UT 84057-8614
Amazing what you can find on the internet.
They called me tonight.  
The guy said he was with Key Research and he was doing a radio station survey.  
I told him I was not interested and to take my number off his call list.
He asked if there was someone else that would take the survey.  I yelled at him, telling him to take my number off his list.
He said they pay $20 for the survey.  I told him I'd be reporting the call to the attorney general, which I did.  
I realize each AG's office probably gets hundreds of these complaints from the many crap companies like this per day, but I report them anyway.  Maybe, just maybe, my AG might actually do something.

You bonehead.  Liberals are the ones trying to stop this kind of crap-- Mormons own this company, the President is a Mormon, and almost all Mormons are dirtbag RepubliCANTs who do nothing but exploit, steal, and obstruct. There hasn't been a real Republican since Eisenhower, and he would have been considered to be a raging liberal by today's WRONG-wing standards.

They just called at 9:15pm. Really!?!

recive a call at 915 PM experience these companies will continue to call even after you ask them to remove your number.

Do not call my home.

I had the same problems with them.
I sent an email to the administrators and copied the FCC comissioner, Ajit Pai.
I figure if I have to put up with it, so does the Government that isn't helping stop it.

The calls stopped !!  Redacted email follows..

To: www.key-research.com administrators.
I have had repeated calls from Key Research 801-377-7003.
I instructed them not to call back.
Got another call within 45 minutes.
I asked for identification of the caller and he hung up.
This is a flagrant violation of FCC rules requiring callers to identify themselves.
My number is 703-xxx-xxxx.
Take me off your call list.  Do not respond to my phone number for communication.
Your phone number does not take any more messages (Full).
This should be a sign to you that your ?Research? calls are unwanted and obtrusive.
This is harassment and I will pursue charges if it continues.

A copy of this email is being sent to FCC Commissioner Ajit Pal

My message is kind of jumbled but you can see he responded to me this day, and I sent him and email telling him that I would not give him my phone number, that I was on the dnc list and he or his company should not be calling me.

So maybe everyone can call Ed's cell phone and bug the hell out of him. Not advising one way or the other, it is up to you all to stand up to these pigs and stop them from calling us. The governor of MS has the right idea he is taking on the telemarketers head first that is what all of us need to do. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED PEOPLE!!!!

Okay all you people that are getting these phone calls, I have threatened them on Wednesday if they called me again I would turn them over to the BBB and police so they called again last night and I got an email from ED; Here goes folks everyone take note of the cell numbers listed. Here is his response, and I am not giving him my phone number, its not going to happen I am on the DNC list.
We would like to remove you from our list, per your request.  However, it's not clear to us who you are or which number you are referring to...


Please send me the phone number to exclude or take off of our system.


Thank you,

Just received a call from them doing a survey. Asking about unaffordable care act.  Stupid liberals ruining this country.

They're not trying to sell you merchandise -- they're a sham political polling company.

I decided to answer questions from them to see if they were legitimate -- they are not; at least the poll I was presented with was clearly not a real poll and had a strong partisan bias. Before the "meaty" questions even started, there were polls about political affiliation and candidates that foreshadowed the right-wing bias of the poll -- for example, using the term "Democrat Party," which is widely perceived as pejorative, rather than the proper term, "Democratic Party."

Once the "real" questions came -- about the ACA, which it persistently called "Obamacare" (a legitimate poll would just call it by its real name -- the Affordable Care Act) -- the questions were prefaced with editorial statements lifted directly from right-wing talking points memos. Most of these "facts" were simply lies, but most Americans are so uninformed that they would likely be taken by most of those polled as legitimate facts and their answers would reflect that.

So, it *is* a polling company, but obviously not a credible one. The only thing they're trying to "sell" you is TeaTard snake oil.

These people have harassed me for weeks I told them to stop calling they said no if I don't take the survey they will keep calling. I told them its telephonic harassment they didn't care!!! I'm getting a hold of this damn ed guy!!!

Survey about software.  Prob just a scammer trying to sell you more junk

Called today and after reading the reviews boy am I glad I didn't pick up. Every day, it seems I get some kind of junk call..WAY worse then junk mail..

They called and began by asking what religon I was. I then came here to see who it was.

I called number back hacked into their voicemail and did get an employee of theirs phone number I will be calling her tomorrow........

Push polling for candidate Jeff Flake; biased questions to spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.

To bad this man had to make one more call, I hope the next 100 hung up on him!!

These people call me last night at 10:30!   I just told them I didn't appreciate a call that late at nite.  The man said he was sorry but he had to make one more call before he could go home.

Political survey. Participated, but they must not have liked my answers, they hung up on me.

I do not want to participate in this or any surveys.

I thought solicitation/polling calls were to take place prior to 9 pm. (whatever timezone is being called). I had a long week and am up very early. I did not appreciate this call waking me! No message was left and when I returned the call the next morning I received a very ambiguous message that really didn't identify the company.

Got a call from them tonite @ about 7:50p.  Didn't leave a msg.  I wonder if it's even worth returning the call.  Unfortunately, I can only block 10 calls on my Call Block list.  Rats!

A moron from this number called us at 10:29 PM on a Monday night. I told him he was out of his mind, hung up on him and promptly blocked the number.

Andy they just called me and i cussed out the lady lower than an ant. First call ive ever got from these people.

i just called Ed at work and left a mesage asking if Ed was there and that i needed him to suck my co ck. bastids called me on a Sundat afternoon at 4:00 pm

Just received call and no one was there when I answered. I have added my number to the Do not Call Registry, how did they call it then?
