Was called once at roughly 8pm answered and interrupted their survey blah with a "I am sorry I don't want to participate, do not call me" where they got rude and tried to continue to conduct the survey.
Then at MIDNIGHT they called back and woke up the whole house.
Who do I call to complain to on this as the number is a fake not in service job.
I received two phone calls within a week from 301-315-5901, the first time I was not home and they did not leave a message, the second time my husband answered the phone and he said they asked him if they were calling a cell or house phone, they said they were doing a survey. I tried to call back the number and it says your call cant be completed as dialed....So I guess this is a fake number?
This company, Westat, is a legit resarch firm in the Maryland suburbs of DC. As a resident of this area, I am familiar with them. Not sure why they would be calling at odd hours of the day/night. They might be contracting out some of their services, which might be a problem.
Call 855-245-2037 for questions or legitimacy concerns about The Santa Clara County Behavioral Risk Factor Survey. (sponsored by the SCC Public Health Dept-Westat is the social science research firm conducting the study...which is why a 301 # may show up on caller ID.) Not telemarketing!
