If you are getting this call, this is a VALID survey being undertaken by the CDC in response to the Deep Horizon oil spill along the Gulf Coast. The information on this is available here at the CDC:
Have gotten numerous calls from this number. At times someone speaks saying they are taking a health survey; at other times they say it is a survey about diseases. I told them I did not wish to take part, but I kept getting calls from this number (So. Burlington, VT) . The most recent calls hang up immediately when I pick up the receiver. Good thing I just purchased "call rejection" from my phone provider -- I entered this number and am bothered no more with these annoying people.
They left a message two days ago saying they were from the Center for Disease Control wishing us to take part in a health survey. They left a callback number but I didn't call them back. They've called back three or four times since then but leave no more messages. It's annoying.
He would not take NO for an answer said that he was with the "Gulf Coast Health Survey", answered 3 questions and hung up on him. Shame on these people, hopefully other folks will read this when they call. What a bunch of liars!!!!
They've called several times. They never leave a message on the machine. But twice I have answered and been told they were taking a survey from the Center For Disease Control, (CDC). I've told them twice to stop calling...... We'll see.
The company doing the calling is ICS Macro, contracted by the government it seems. Despite my request that I be taken off their list, I keep getting calls. This morning I called the following officer for the company, based in Springfield Ohio:
Beth Tarallo
800-639-1310 Extension 3719
I spoke directly to her, and she says my number will be taken off. We shall see.
