So then I called the number from my work phone. I pressed "one" and a recorded message said "your account does not have sufficient funds to make this call." So it's clearly not a clinical trial. It's a SCAM. I'm sorry I answered because now I'm just going to get more of these calls.
I did not answer my phone.Blocked my number and called back.It was some nonsense about a survey and "does anyone in your family have arthritis?" It said a local doctor is conducting a survey and you could make money testing something.Local? the call came from 2000 miles away! Most likely a scam trying to get people to use some pills and make money by selling them.I don't know about anyone else but i get scam calls almost daily from all over the country now.Thinking of changing my phone number, not that it will help if it's just robo-dialing.Hate these scams.Yesterday i answered a different number and it said Big brothers charity. I just hung up. Usually I act polite and say I already gave to a similar charity.I get some variation of cancer society, not the real one, etc, fake breast cancer society, home security systems,police benevolent assoc.,.. you name it.As far as the charities, I believe they are just scammers trying to take your money and give maybe 1 penny on the dollar to charity.I do give to charity when I seek them out. In my experience, legit charities don't call people, they advertise on tv commercials or via the tv news or newspapers.
Just got a call on my cell phone about doctors survey. I cussed them out and told them not to ever call again its my cell phone and I but the time and don't want them to use it up calling me.
