Research company calling over and over and over. So over it.

block!

f*ckers

Autodial

These people are abusive in their misuse of the telephone. I just hung up for the fourth time this year.
I do not accept that they are legitimate.
They ask personal info which can be used in identity theft.
I recommend you say no thanks and hang up.

Scam

I missed their call, called back and received a courteous response from the operator who basically reiterated the 'Research' post of 22 Feb 17 above. Agreed to be called back, and was so within a couple of minutes - another very professional courteous encounter doing an important survey on policing. I'd encourage all to give these folks a fair shake.

constantly call, want info for a survey..

Had received a few calls from this number & had not answered. After reading this site, when I got a call last night I did answer and spoke with a very well spoken (English) male person explained what the call was about and asked if I would like to participate. I explained that I would prefer not to and he accepted that. I then asked if he would have my number removed so that I did not get anymore calls from them. He replied that he would certainly arrange that for me and we said our good byes. By all means answer the call, and hopefully you will get a very helpful like I did. As the story on this site says, your number will continue to get calls from them if you, like me, choose to ignore them. I hope that this explanation is of help to others.

I just block the number of any and all unsolicited calls.

whether it is legit or not is irrelevant. In an age where people are harassed on the street in shopping centres, train stations anywhere for that matter to sign up save this or that participate in a survey that will only take up 5 minutes of your time, leave feed back after paying a bill the list goes on. Its called burn out and to dismiss people as rude or telling them to grow because they have burn out is an insult and shows imaturaty as anyone who is above the age of 4 will realise that no matter what we sign say or do nothing changes and the government don't listen or heed the advice of stats etc. It wont improve the road out the front bring rents down or improve services to your area.

That's what the census is for mate.

@ research LOL SHUT up MRS SALTY. Just because we dont wanna answer a call.... LOL IDIOT. SCEW U salty tiggered bitch :')

it's just a survey, it's not a scam, just spam

I have received a call from this number and he said he is calling behalf of Education Department of Australia and asked me to give the phone to my child. I wonder It' was Sunday after hours.

Had this company phoning continuously around dinner time finally told them very very firmly to nick off.We have a silent number and are on the do not phone register.I am prepared to do a survey but why don't they do it buy mail

OK, you seem to be working for such an organisation or not mind being called.

To me, unsolicited call is unsolicited call is spam.

Just had the call like 2 am (overseas), waking me up. Thank you.

When they keep calling after 3 times saying I'm not interested, it's hard to remain polite :/ Might get myself a whistle!
