The caller ID said "OHIO", nobody left a message on my answering machine. I called back. It's not "Burke and Corporated", as others have noted; it's Burke Incorporated. Here they are:

Look under "Contact" for phone numbers. I called and left a message, basically: "How can I get you to stop calling me?"
Got a call today from this number, stated they were Burks Research. When I told them I was on the DNC list I was told in a rather rude tone that the DNC list does not apply to them! I told them "I'm telling you NOT to call me."
To everyone -
Fact 1 - the DNC list does not work! Everyone knows this...or should know this!
Fact 2 - filing a complaint with the FCC does not work! A total waste of time. Done that.
Fact 3 - having an unlisted phone number will not help.
Fact 4 - asking/begging telemarketers to take you off their call list does not work!
Fact 5 - there are no "class action" suits that are filed. Many of these telemarketers are in other countries and out of the jurisdiction of the USA.
********** QUIT BEING FRUSTRATED OVER TELEMARKETER CALLS! ***********
****************** QUIT BEING A VICTIM!!! *************
PLEASE DO THIS - PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING PHONE.
Call blocking phones are very inexpensive ($40-$60) and they come with at least, one wireless handset. Very, very convenient.
************* DON'T GET MAD – HIT BACK! ************
STOP BEING ANNOYED - STOP BEING A VICTIM - BUY A CALL BLOCKING PHONE!
Uniden and Panasonic make CALL BLOCKING telephones. They’re cheap - $40-$60 and they usually come with a 2nd. wireless handset. And they work beautifully! These phones also block “PRIVATE”, “OUT OF AREA” and "UNKNOWN" calls!!!
I have had the same home number and the same business phone number for over 15 years and my home and my business lines (both published) seem to be on every imaginable call list. I bought a Panasonic call blocking phone for my home and I bought a Uniden call blocking telephone for my business.
NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH TELEMARKETERS. THEY CAN’T GET THROUGH!
We can stop these telemarketers IF we all buy a call blocking phone.
***********NOTHING ELSE WILL STOP THESE TELEMARKETERS! **********
