NORC U CHICAGO. This is a new one for us, and I thought we were the King and Queen of junk phone calls. Just phoned (5:58 PM). Did not pick up--They did not leave a message.
It is legitimate. My husand answered and they just asked if there were kids in the house and their ages. Didn't ask anything personal. They said its just a survey and at the end said thanks for participation in a survey for H1N1 prevention.
This is important research, they send you a letter letting you know they are going to call and that you can select a better time of day for them to call if you want. The problem is that the calls are made through a calling program. if you dont know what a calling program is its a computer program that does the calling and when someone answers the phone then someone on the calling side picks up the phone to talk to you. Sometimes there is a silence on their end because it takes a second for them to get to the call. They cont leave messages because they already sent you a letter to let you know the number they are calling from and what they are all about. You people that are complaining are the same ones that would be yelling if there was a serious outbreak of a virus and most people knew what to do and what was happening because they answered the phone.
The Norc U Chicago is phishing for information. They are attempting to gain information not only children but everyone. They are calling under the guise of the CDC. However, they are not part of the CDC, they are HHS and IRS. This has to do with the Healthcare Law, they are attemping to gain information so as they can tax every household. They are asking about the number of children because many children before age 3 do not have SS#s. I would challenge everyone to review the healthcare law H.R. 4872. Do not answer the phone to them, Do Not call the back. If you don't know the number don't answer the call. Review the Constitution and get to know your rights as a citizen. Tell others that you know not to answer strange calls. If they get an accurate number for a house hold they will take the amount of tax directly from your bank accounts. I have been researching things like this for several years now and this is not a new tactic, however, they are going to push harder and attempt to collect as much from the people before the state lawsuits can delay it. Please research and share what you find with others.
