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.
A woman from this number called about a survey. When my father, who was here babysitting, tokd her we would not be back till this evening, she got very rude and hateful, saying that shes sick of calling people and then lying about not being home instead if saying they dont want to take the survey. He called me. I called the number back. She picked up the phone and hung up 3 times. Finally answered on the 4th. I said someone from this number called about a survey. Very rude and hateful she said well you dont want to take the survey then hung up on me! Im so pissed. Trying to figure out how to report her!
You could start with the University of Wyoming Public Relations Office. They would very likely take a very dim view of the attitude of the caller and how they were damaging the reputation of the University.

Doesn't answer the two times after that but on thirty she answered and said her name was ruby I stated I needed her bosses number and name she then called me the n word and said look it up yourself if your so smart.
