Phone rang a few times. Hubby said hello, but no answer on their end which came up as the name KMAX. Researched and found out they are out of Colorado Springs, CO. Don't have a clue what they wanted, but am sure they will probably call again...and again....and again.
KMAX is a telemarketing company. They tell you this is a survey and not a sales call. After the survey they call back trying to sell you a product. Tell them you do not take part in a survey.
and 719-637-6689 They got my number again! We're on the DNC list and battled with them about 18 months ago to stop calling us. About 12 months ago they started calling a relatives' home - after being told to stop calling and after threats to report - they called again and again. One day - 14 (that's FOURTEEN) calls were logged on the caller-id from them. It finally took a threatening letter to make them stop. Now they're at it again!

Yeah, KMAX called us today, to. They insist they're doing marketing research. I asked what kind of company KMAX is, and they told me a market research firm.
Market research is my line of work, my career. I guarantee you their "survey" has nothing to do with research and everything to do with sales. What KMAX does is called SUGGING - selling under the guise of reserach.
Here is the definition of SUGGING according to the Marketing Research Association.
SUGGING: The use of a marketing research survey to attempt to sell to the public. The misuse of the survey process compromises legitimate marketing and opinion research surveys conducted by professionals. It also causes distrust among the public and affects the reliability of all public opinion research. The government has legislation outlawing telemarketing calls selling under the guise of research. The Council for Marketing and Opinion Research (CMOR) is very active in the protection of marketing and opinion research and the public opinion.
