I called them back today- they answered as "Online Pharmacy"  - this is the first time they've actually answered -  I asked that they stop calling my number, and the line went dead.

Adding this to the long list of  irritating  marketing calls that I do no answwer.  WE get       anywhere from 5 to 20 calls a day of this type.  NO NOT CALL doesn't work at all!!!!!Even went to my carrier with this issue.  Then I learned that they do the same thing???????

Nunov,
IDC no longer conducts phone surveys -- the company now uses Web-based surveys to research market trends.  If the callers identify themselves as IDC, they are misrepresenting their affiliation.

The number of calls from this number have been increasing.  Three calls so far today.  I called the FTC at 877 382 4357 and filed a complaint.  They also recommended calling my California attorney general at 800 952 5225.  Will do that now.

Called 10X in the last 24 hours.  Leaves a message asking or hanging up.

Called again, no one on the line.

I get at least 10-20 calls daily from this number 888-497-6842
this is my work number I need this to stop, the calls hang up when I answer

Just received my third call so far today and every time I answer the line goes dead.  I've been getting these calls for at least two weeks.  It is incredibly annoying to say the least.

If it is international data I would not trust the numbers because of the way they place their servey calls... I have filed with the FCC.

Appears that both the FCC and Do Not Call org have been ineffective.

Last straw relates to filing a formal complaint with the NY State Attorney General's office.

I have done before and it works.

The number to call to file a complaint in New York is:

1-607-721-8771

I receive this call at least once a day and they never leave a message.

I get several of these a week, and always ignore these; today I inadvertently picked it up.  After a long pause, a woman came on, and identified herself as "... Lopez" (I forgot the first name).  She might have been Latin American, but sounded more Indian.  Anyway, we somehow got cut off...

I called the OnCall RespOrg Services General phone number to ask about this since I keep receiving these phone calls at my workplace.  Like everyone else, I would answer with no response and when I tried calling them back, I would receive a busy signal.

When I called OnCall RespOrg Services (1.800.861.0757), a polite lady answered the phone.  She informed me that their company basically manages toll-free numbers for other companies (so it is possible that more than one company uses/has used this phone number).  When I explained to her the situation, she was happy to take down the number that had called me so she could submit a request to put a block on my work number so they no longer dialed it.

It may just be feeding into their system that my number is active, but the lady was so nice.... maybe I'm stupidly optimistic in having hope that she actually did something to help me out :)

Calls from this number come daily to my office. Does anyone know how to fine these people for harassment or something? Whatever they are up to is, at best, counterproductive.

It appears that the Do Not Call dot Org establishment is ineffective.

My preferences here are to deal with the company and filing a complaint with the State's Attorney's office.  Does anyone know what the address is for this company?

Funny too made a complaint here with the FCC about number and it took about 15 minutes in form filling.  Which is really jumping through hoops now such that you can file a complaint.  I am surprised that it didn't ask for my social security number. So it most likely is also ineffective these days to file a complaint with the FCC.

The unsolicited calls from this number have increased from once a day to 3 times a day.

Get calls on the business line at least 4 times a day.   Usually I ignore it, but occasionally I will pick up and nobody will be there.  Quite pointless of them to even call.

Called repeatedly during lunch hour each day.  Finally I answered the call.  They asked for Carol, I identified myself as Carol and they hung up.  I suspect they are confirming I am the business contact they have on their telemarketing list.  They are probably only "cleaning" the list to sell as a verified list to companies who want my contact information.  And/or, they will now send a prerecorded call through after hours that goes direct to my voice mail.

I get a call from this number at least once a day.

this number calls 1-2-3 times daily. no reply when i pick up- waste of space, waste of time company/people. Serioulsy...why do they call to say nothing. Infuriating. I wish I could blast death metal music into the phone or something  but they disconnect the call too fast.

This just happened to me today...no one spoke, but I could hear a women in the background saying hang up the phone!

Calls come from this number several times a day for several weeks now. A message is never left. I do not answer it.

So they call and call 888-497-6842  and it belongs to a front for the toll free number.
I gave them my number and read them the riot act.  I am filing a complaint with the FCC next at which point they will be held responsible.  The fine is 5,000 dollars per call so keep good records of your calls from them.  If you have Vonage you can print your call logs.

Everyone should give them a call and tie up their phone lines with complaints.  Don't hang up actually complain it will tie up their services. Don't be rude, be nice it will keep them on longer.

I have received at least 3 calls a day for the past week. They don't leave a message no do they respond when I answer the phone. If there was a way to block this number I would. This call is very irritating

Calls to my phone are coming 3 or 4 times a week... no messages left, and when I've tried to call back, I get a constant busy....  Somebody needs to report them

Stop the phone calls
