Called me. I did not recognize the number so did not answer. I am also on the DNC list. I am not interested in anything these people have to say to me whether I am being paid or not. It is still very intrusive.
Just got a call. Caller ID said CREATIVE CONSUMER. Girl said she was setting up a focus group in my city and wanted to include my opinions. I told her I didn't give my opinions and hung up.
I suspect that anyone who gives their opinions will be asked to provide their age, include, education level, etc. the type of personal info that telemarketers love to have.
Just called again at 534PM. Caller ID said CREATIVE CONSUM. This time, I spent 10 minutes answering all the girl's questions about health care providers in my city. It was all opinion stuff. Hopefully, since I did that they won't call again and I won't have to block the number. She did ask demographic questions at the end but I don't think it was anything that a telemarketer could use. If they do call back, I will come back and leave another post.
Just reporting back in. It's now been a week since I did the survey and they haven't called back since. It looks like the survey is on the level. If they call back, I will leave another post.
