JGR would you please give me your personal phone number, so I can pretend to be a "market researcher" & call you 4 times per day at any hour I choose?
Yea, because it's perfectly legal as long as I'm "taking a survey".
Add those 4 to the 8 to 10 others I receive each day WHILE I TRY TO WORK, and YES I LET MT EMOTIONS RUN!
You want to talk about "stupidity, arrogance and lack of self control", how about a leech who calls 4 times a day to the same number & won't take NO for an answer? Oh, yea, I forgot it's because you CAN!
If this is truely a "market survey", fine, YOUR getting paid.
So pay ME! Your using my resources & time!
If your trying to sell me something, then kiss off & get a real job!
Today, received a call from "Synovate", 559-437-5359. The woman said they were from Washington Mutual. I told her the number dialed was on the Do Not Call List. She said it didn't apply as they weren't selling anything, but just doing a survey. I said, okay, fine. At this point, I am asking you to put me on your own companys DNC List. She said that wasn't part of the rules. Oh, but it is:
https://www.donotcall.gov/faq/faqbusiness.aspx Says: if a consumer asks a company not to call, the company may not call, even if there is an established business relationship. Indeed, a company may not call a consumer - regardless of whether the consumer's number is on the registry - if the consumer has asked to be put on the company's own do not call list.
So, the next time someone from that company calls, I will get their name and file a complaint.
The reason people put their phone numbers on the DNC List is to avoid your calls, so don't get upset when I physically blow out your ears using a whistle.
I used to work in telemarketing, and a company CAN call you even if you're on the DNC list if they are NOT selling you something. Adding your number to a national DNC list does you no good. You have to add your number to the company's DNC list to stop the calls.
