Caller said that he was with the Kramer Institute, for the purpose of conducting a survey; he's asked for my wife. When I asked him how he got our number his reply was, "Sir, is (my wife's name) there?" He was very rude, arrogant, and sounded furious that I would question his purpose and intent. He was told to *&#@* off, and I blocked the number from further calls.
A few minutes later I called the number and got a recording saying that the message box for that number is full. I've heard this same message with this type of call before. These surveyers and scammers have dozens of tricks with the phone system that they employ; mostly things the citisen/resident cannot employ.
Person has repeatedly called. Personally requested that they stop calling - we are on the do not call list. Received a call the next night again. This needs to stop, when calling they are requesting to speak to a minor.
This number shows up 2-3 times a day. The one time I answered, there was a small pause and then they asked to speak to me and said they were from some place I could not understand. He had a nigerian sounding voice and I hung up after I couldn't understand him a second time. He keeps calling everyday and I just don't answer.
