Who called from 7168457743

We are a survey research department here at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY. We do many different studies pertaining to people's opinions about public health issues. We appreciate people's input and opinions and we do pay participants for their time with most of the studies. This is legitimate scientific research.

A myth about survey research is that it pertains to the 'Do Not Call' list.  This list does not apply to us because we're not selling anything or asking for money.  We're just asking for opinions and paying you for your time and participation. Also, the numbers we call are created through random digit dialing. We don't know who we're calling initially.

We have 9 other numbers affiliated with us, which are assigned to different projects we're conducting at the time.

I got a call in work on my cell phone from this number716-845-7743.... 2nd time in the past few weeks - They said it was the department of health new York I disconnected the call there is no reason they should be calling me. How can I block this number

This number calls and calls . I looked the number up and it's supposedly a research survey. I would think that after calling twice (although I've received over 10 calls) they would realize I have no interest in taking part in their survey and mark my name off the list . Finally I just downloaded a free app on my cell phone that blocks unwanted calls by their area code ie all calls from area code 855 or 716 in this case. Its easy and free to download one of these apps , we shouldn't of course have to do this but  it saves us the annoyance of callers like this bugging us constantly.

They just never stop calling. Usually I don't answer, but answered today. Some health survey. I pay 25 cents a call plus 10 cents/minute. I don't care if they are allowed to call or not. I just want off their stupid list. No matter who they are, few people want their calls. They are as much a scam/harassing call as any other.

This is so BOGUS. I will NEVER answer ANY 716 #. Since I have no voice mail and can generally see the number when it appears, I can do that. Because of CONSTANT calls, I will NEVER contribute to Roswell Park. I don't really believe these calls ARE from Roswell Park. It would be my guess a private company, which makes these calls SCAM calls. I swear I've had more calls from this number on almost a daily basis than ALL my other calls to my cell. Once I answered, told them to never call again, which was useless. Somebody ought to go after them. This above explanation is self-serving. FCC does us no good. Do Not Call list is useless. All I can say is do not ever donate to a place that authorizes such repeated privacy-invading calls. They ARE NOT random digit dialing as they repeat them to the same # daily. Who would have thought that what we thought was an honorable organization is just a SCAM. I won't give my #, but my email is [email protected]. Anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of this SCAM?
