Also got several calls, including a very late call. Just finished filing reports with the FTC and with the Attorneys General of their state and of mine, and I am about to contact Melbourne FL local offices and law enforcement. This is out and out harrassment and abuse at this point.
You people are ridiculous. I too work for OTR and we are not shady people. Like stated above, we are only interested in your opinions. Which IS actually important.. not just to us.. but to the whole country. We do political surveys throughout the country. The questions we ask have to do with real issues going on right here in our country, our towns, our neighborhoods and our backyards. I talk to MANY people everyday and when I ask the question "In general would you say things in you country/town/area are headed in the right direction or headed off on the wrong track?" I rarely ever get that its headed in the right Direction. Then we go on to ask about certain issues... Illegal immagration... drilling for oil... certain laws trying to be passed or changed.. and all we are looking for is how you feel about that issue. How does anyone ever expect anything to change if you dont voice your opinion? If you want things to go the way you want it to go then you need to say how you want it. Thats what gets me people.. everyone wants to complain about how messed up this country is and how everything is getting worse and these polititians dont care for us... blah blah blah.. but the truth is its people like you that done care.. that dont care enough to give us 15 minutes (In some cases only 5 mintues) of your time to answer some questions that could actually end up changing how things are going. About us being shady, I have no idea who the man is above that has been mentioned (The one who owns the company or wutever) But I can assure you that the people that I work with everyday are not shady. We are just a bunch of normal people like yourselves.. we get paid minium wage to conduct these surveys. Most of us do not even enjoy doing it. Unfortunately with the economy being the way it is today and until that changes and with most of us having children we dont have a choice. I thank god for my job everyday! All I wish is that you people would wake up and understand that we are just telemarketers trying to make a living and in this case.. we are also doing something pretty important as well. All it takes is 5-15 minutes of your time.. and with enough people willing to do that.. guess what? We might actually be able to make a change.
Also, if you honestly do wish to participate then just ask to be put on the do not call list... Its that simple. I have never gotten upset or mad when someone has asked me to do this. We at OTR understand that people have lives. Work, children, school and other responsibilities as well. The employees at OTR also have all of this. Some of us actually work two jobs to pay for school or support our children. I cannot speak for all of us.. but I am speaking for most of us when I say that we do not have a problem taking you off of the calling list. Just understand that unfortunately this is our job and we do not get any type of bonuses for completing the survey.. just the chance to maybe go home early to be with our families.
Gettin sick of calls from this compant, filed complaints with FTC Rich baldwin's office, you need to respect donotcall lists, hope they shut this palce down and everyone looses thier job......bunch of pricks
Whatever! You guys are the pricks! Like the lady said above, this is their job. Just ask to be removed from the list. By not answering the phone or hanging up they are not sure (because of the delay that the gmrs employer explained about) they are not sure if you are not interested. Just politely say so. Like stated above, they are not out to get you. Just doing their job. I dont see the problem. I too have gotten calls from them and found the ladie I spoke with to be very polite and the survey was quite interesting. If you dont like it then change your number or like I said ask POLITELY to be removed. Remember, these people do not enjoy doing this. It is their job.
Yeah man, you all be so mean, when I out doing my job, just hand over your money and jewelry, don't be hating and calling the cops. I'm just doing my job. If you don't want to be bugged by me don't go outside!
