Just got a call from this number, displayed as Healthstream. I didn't pick up. I wish the DNC registry actually worked!!! It's so frustrating. I actually got a call in the middle of the night or Sunday morning after a long night of working and it woke me up. The person on the other end really got an earful. I know its their job but damn!
To Carol:
I can appreciate what you are doing with regards to "research", however, the people you call "at random" should have a choice in declining these calls! I am paying so much money each month to the phone company for an "unlisted" number for a reason. There is WAY too much personal information being passed around out there and some of us do NOT like it. When I get calls and no one bothers to leave a messge, I will not answer the phone the next time they call, that is what an answering machine is for. Also, I have made the choice of OPTING OUT of these annoying calls for personal reasons that are NONE of anyone's business!
There are several OTHER ways to get people's opinions and such without constatnly calling them at all hours and not having the smarts to leave a message. You must figure that if a call back name and number is left, you marketers will not get a response at all. If I have something to say to the medical community or the healthcare industry in this country, I will direct it to the ones that count and can make a rectification or change, NOT to annoying calls being made from people I do not know or trust.
I give out NO information over the phone to anyone, because I trust no one in today's society of mistrust and untruths.
TO ALL THE TELEMARKETERS, SURVEY TAKERS AND THE POLITICAL PESTS THAT CALL WITH CAMPAIGN PUSHING, STOP YOUR CALLING!!
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH YOUR UNWANTED CALLING AND SPEECHES. WE ARE BUSY AND DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT ALL, IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT CLOGS UP THE AIRWAVES AND THE NEWSPAPERS. SAME OLD UNTRUTHS THAT NEVER CHANGE!
IF I WANT INFORMATION, I WILL SEEK IT OUT MYSELF, I DO NOT NEED, NOR WANT, ALL YOUR ANNOYING CALLS AND "REQUESTS" FOR "CONTRIBUTIONS". I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY "SURVEYS" OVER THE PHONE TO STRANGERS I DO NOT KNOW NOR TRUST.
WHO PAYS FOR ALL THIS? IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THE CONSUMER THAT EVENTUALLY PAYS THE TAB IN THE LONG RUN!
FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET YOUR ANSWERS AND LEAVE US ALONE. THE INFORMATION YOU ARE USING TO CONTACT US IS PERSONAL AND SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE HIPPA ACT! HA!
I got a call from 301-575-9366 but I didn't answer and they left no message. Funny, because my phone number is brand new and I have not given it to anyone.
