Hey Concerned Citizen!
Do you work for this outfit?
Now don't start crying...I only want to tell you your the type that looks to Obama for help, and can't understand why you haven't gotton it yet. Am I right? Ha, thought so...
I have filed a complaint against this organization with both the Indiana Attorney General and the Illinois Attorney General's office. I feel that with all the messages on here, that if everyone files a complaint, then maybe this kind of telephone survey program will produce some strict rules to go by in the future or else. This organization is resorting to harrassment - pure and simple.
You will need to have a lot of information handy, but the biggest is what name or number shows up on your caller ID? What are the dates and times they call? Duration of the call? Did they leave a message? You have to consent to letting the AG's office look up your phone records - piece of cake for me since my cell phone records all their attempts. You also have to let them know what has been communicated between you and them. One other thing is that you might have to testify in a court of law. Find out what you need from your own Atty General's office about consumer telephone privacy, send it in and then forward a copy it to Illinois so she can deal with it as well. Hey, the phone number is a land line from Chicago Illinois, so I think it should be her problem. Good Luck all!
1.) Participate in the Survey, but give absolutely ridiculous answers. ( i.e. Give the classic Quagmire response to how many children you have, "I have so many of them that I have probably have children in foreign countries." If you are a guy. Or in your best southern drawl, "Now that's none of your business, my friend" if you are a female.)
2.) Have your 3 year old kid, cousin or nephew answer the survey questions. Sit back relax and enjoy the cuteness!
