I received five (5) phone calls from Central Research on Monday June 22, 2009, another four (4) on Tuesday the 23nd, four (4) on the 24th and eight (8) phone calls over a three hour period from them on June 24th. Each time I answered the phone and after a approximately ten (10) seconds, the call disconnected at their end. I tried calling back the number that appeared on my caller ID (Central Research 727-819-9536) but no one ever picked up. I am in the processes of filing a formal complaint with the Florida Attorney General.
Receiving calls from this number several times a day for several days now but when I answer the telephone the caller hangs up.
Based on a little research on the NPA NXX (727 819)I called:
Central Marketing Services
10712 County Line Rd # 6
Hudson, FL 34667
(727) 819-2217
and got an answer from a man with a odd flat affect (zombie or alien?). I requested that my telephone number be removed from their predictive autodialer and advised the drone that his equipment was likely defective since no agent had ever responded to my hello answer.
He advised that the number would be removed and apologized for the inconvenience. Florida is the home of many scam operations and I will advise if I can ferret out what these idiots are up to.
They called us 3 times tonight - all between 9:30-10:30pm EST. I told them to take me off their list but they did not do it. I will report to proper authorities.
