Just a idea if you want them to stop calling......JUST TAKE THE DAMN SURVEY! They won't call anymore if you do! The only way you would ever POSSIBLY get a call again would would be in a different survey and that's not even a definite because the numbers are really randomly dialed the very FIRST time they call you. The reason they call again is because once they establish that they have a working number the number is stored in the system and they continue to try to reach someone on that number. Some of you people on here are ignorant as I don't know what. Keep in mind that these people are doing there damn job and these surveys they do actually have a benefit. If they call you at a bad time all you have to do is ask then to set a time to call you back at a time that's good for you and they will. I don't think that taking 20 mins or so out of your day is going to kill you! You people on here spending all your time calling here and there trying to get them to stop calling and all you had to do is take the damn survey an try won't call anymore you idiot. They won't ask for personal info about you and if you do feel a question is too personal all you have to say is I don't feel comfortable answering that and they will skip it. Have some curtesy and realize that these people are doing their jobs and it is important. I promise taking a few mins out of your day won't kill you!
Nothing; spam. Previous business with this number went out of business in 2009. Spammer must have got the same number, maybe on purpose to trick people in thinking they were getting a call from a legitimate business
This is the second call I have received from this number claiming to be coming from CDC Surveys for the Gulf Coast Area claiming my number has been randomly called to take a survey.
Asked what state I live in --- when given they asked for something else, then hung up. I have had this cell number for quite some time, but I don't reside in the Gulf Coast area anymore. I just haven't changed my number since its easy for family to get me.
I would like the calls to stop coming in regardless of who it is calling.
This company has called repeatedly and won't stop calling my mom and dad. Claiming to be coming Gulf States Health Survey on behalf of CDC. They finally got tired of the calls and answered the survey's personal questions such as age, health status, and if recieved money from the Gulf Oil Spill.
I called the number back and it says they are ICF Macro, but that is not the telephone number on ICF Macro's home page.
I filed a complaint on the Do Not Call Registry and the FCC home page.
Plan to call the following on Monday:
CDC 800-232-4636
ICF Macro 301-572-0200
FCC 888-835-5322
Depending on what I find out, I might have to contact the FBI. Here is their fraud website so you can contact the field office closest to you:

I might even start calling the 802-861-3177 number for some surveys of my own!!!
