I received calls from 425-282-5526, 425-282-5815, 425-282-5814, 425-282-5820, 425-282-5812 (Pacific Market Research). Like everyone says, they call and never leave a message, usually about the same time everyday. Finally I picked up one of the calls last night and the woman said she had questions about my satisfaction with healthcare in the area. I told her I wasn't interested, take me off the list, and hung up. Received another call from this company this afternoon. I went to the link listed above
http://www.pacificmarketresearch.com/contact/index.html and called the number and told the woman to take me off the list. She didn't ask any questions.. just said okay and took my number. Let's see if it works. If not, I will be taking my husband with me to their office to see what their !@#$ing problem is. I have a cell phone and am on the do not call list and have no idea how they got my number.
This company keeps calling me from different numbers. I am on the do not call list and have a cell phone. Today the guy said: they were a research group "retained" by the IRS. I said you are lying--the IRS wouldn't retain any compnay and wouldn't call them. Not only that I don't have any back taxes as this guy said. I have tryed to get off their phone list but they still keep calling. Every call cost me money because I have a pay as you go cell phone. They call me every day.
A call from this number rang today. I don't answer calls I don't recognize.
I search them on the internet.
If they are collectors, telemarketers, phishing scams, or anything else,
I mark them as Spam in my phone's call list,
so when they call again my phone displays 'SPAM'
and I just hit the no ring button and delete the call.
You may have to add some extra letters to the word SPAM on your phone list
to have the calls listed separately on you call list. Soon you will be shocked
to see how many junk calls you have received if you scroll down your call list
under the 'S's
If you don't answer, they may eventually give up.
They will NEVER take you out of their system, so don't bother arguing
with them or getting upset.
Do not call program doesn't not work.
Just do not enter any contests or other things on the internet as that is
how your number and other info is passed around to many phone scammers
and telemarketers.
If collectors harass or threaten you, save the call time and number and build
a case against them by keeping notes. You can sue them for $1500 for each
call they make.
