When someone starts out lying about who she is representing I hang up and contact the boys over at the agency. They will be paying them a visit. Tick, tock.
I am getting calls from them, too. Haven't answered them, but the entries below said it wasa survey about movies. They started calling me right after I signed up for Netflix. Sounds like they are connected, somehow.
It's all a scam. Your information will be sold to marketers if you're lucky. If you are NOT lucky, it will end up in the hands of identity thieves.
Anybodu who talks to any stranger and supplies ANY personal information or thoughts is a fool and deserves what happens.
Ask yourself "What good ever came from a total stranger asking me personal questions of the phone?"
The call center using the number 714-551-5501 claimed to be a company names Burke and was clearly, by the accent of the caller and that of people in the background, coming from India.
My plan for such callers is to say "Oh, this sounds interesting. Let me go get a pencil and paper!" Then I place the call on hold and let the caller hang until they give up. This wastes their time rather than mine, and makes them know what a pain they represent.
If you don't recognize the number, just don't answer the phone. It's no big deal. If it's important enough the caller will leave a message, if NOT, they won't. You got caller ID, you recognize your friends and family numbers. If it's your bank or someone important, they'll leave a message. See if the number coincides with the message, ie, local bank calling you, their number will be local. Ignore ALL unrecognized calls. DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR, but do post to this site, those unrecognized numbers. We'll all keep each other informed.
Someone may have posted this already (I did not throuroughly search the threads; just want to help) but their website has a 'Do Not Call' form. Here is the hyperlink... http://www.datascension.com/do-not-call-list
