Surveys are exempt from the DNC as a rule. But it seems your calls have gotten ridiculous. You can try filing a complaint with the FTC & FCC though. Otherwise look into call blocking devices and phones to stop this.
Got a phone call from this number right around 8pm tonight. On the caller ID it came up "Cell Phone OK" followed by the phone number. They called my secondary land line which nobody EVER calls and is NOT listed in the directory. I answered and said "Hello?" Twice before a younger man replied "Yes, may I speak to Austin, Please?" I figured it was a doctor bill or telemarketer so I said, "He's not in right now, can I take a message?" To which the young man replied "There is no message. Thank you. Goodbye."
Very strange that I received a call on a phone line which is not listed in the directory and has never been entered on any website or other type of subscription whatsoever. Even stranger that this gentleman called at 8 p.m. and asked for me by name. I could hear what sounded like a female talking in the background.
I attempted to call the number back and it rang twice and presented a message stating "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, the phone number you are calling has been disconnected, is not in service, or has changed. If you feel you have reached this number in error, please hang up and dial again."
I tried 3 times to call the number back and received the same message each time. Now that I've read these experiences on this site, I sure hope he calls back so I can tell him whatfor!
