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.
Big Brother is alive and well and contracted telemarketers make random survey calls soliciting an individual's health information. According to the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention;s website, The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is the nation's "premier system" of health-related telephone surveys that collect state data about U.S. residents regarding their health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services.
I called back twice and let it ring both times for a prolonged amount of time and got no answer or voicemail. When they called my # I did not answer, but they also left no voicemail. Anybody else, know anything more?
Same here... I called back twice and let it ring both times for a prolonged amount of time and got no answer or voicemail. When they called my # I did not answer, but they also left no voicemail. They have called me twice from this number and now jumped to calling me from 308-766-2596, very annoying.
I received a call, did not answer, they did not leave a voice mail. Our caller ID says it's from Univ of Wy (University of Wyoming). A note on the UW website (http://directory.uwyo.edu/) states that "unless otherwise noted, the area code and exchange for all UW departments is 307-766." When I searched the 766-2685 phone number, I got no results.
