I keep getting phone calls from this number about 5 times a day, I don't answer because I don't reconize the number. When I listen to my messages all I hear is breathing.
I got my first call from this number today .. I live over 900 miles from Laramie WY. I live 12 miles south of the Canadian border.. What the hell would they want from somebody in this part of the country??
This call is from Wyoming. They do academic survey research on behalf of a number of different state and federal agencies (Montana Dept. of Health, Louisiana Dept. of Health, North Dakota Dept. of Health, etc.). Most surveys measure a number of health indicators (smoking, disease, etc.) to help the State address these issues and measure change over time. They hand dial every number, which is a randomly generated string of numbers. If you answer and ask to be put on their do not call list they will happily do so. All surveys have undergone OMB or Institutional Review Board approval, and all are TCPA compliant.
