These fools just won't give up!!!!!!!! It is a constant calling every day! I am sick of them........can't someone do something?????

Repeated calls by this number... I have begun to make complaints with the DONOTCALL.Gov website on every unsolicited telemarketer call.  Let the FEDs get on their case.

I just started receiving these calls the other day - they call a few times in  the evening. They don't talk when I answer & they don't leave a message when the answering machine is on. So what's the deal?????

It says some Research Center on my caller ID

I'm on a Do Not Call Registry too.....

CALLED TWICE TODAY 1ST TIME ANSWERING MACHINE PICKED UP, THEY JUST HUNG UP...

2ND TIME...I PICKED UP AND SOME WOMEN ASKED FOR THE HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD, TOLD HER THAT i WAS ON THE NO CALL LIST, TO REMOVE ME FROM THEIR LIST AND HUNG UP

They talked when my answering machine answered, but said only "Hello, is someone there?" and the like. It sounded like a non-native speaker of English.

I've been getting pretexting calls lately. They usually claim they are doing research surveys. One claimed she was Associated Press, but her caller ID name said "unavailable".

Called early on Saturday

These jerks have been calling me constantly - never leaving a message. I have reported each and every call to the DO NOT CALL web-site and am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  In frustration I answered their call last month and told them I didn't want to buy anything or answer any questions and to stop calling me.  This seemed to make them call more often.  Then I answered another call from them and yelled at them to stop harassing me and I had been reported every call to the FTC and a snoty woman told me they were a research center and the DO NOT CALL LIST didn't apply to them. Bulls--t! So after that they have been calling me 2 or 3 times a week 2 or 3 times a day. I just let the answer machine pick up and never speak to them.  I'll let you know what the BBB does with my complaint.

Apparently, this group, company, or whatever-it-is is calling from Fremont,MI.
This is about a dozen or so miles West of Lake Michigan, the other side of the state than Detroit,MI.
I would suspect that the callers might be foreign-based, although since nobody left a message, I would NOT just assume that this "Research Center" is a front for some questionable Middle Eastern group.

Your calls are what are called "Ghost calls" generated by a computer by a certain company (telemarketers) to determine the time of day you are home.  The FCC allows such calls and every time you answer the phone a log is kept for future sales calls. The computer is able to generate hundreds of calls per minute and if a sales rep is not available, under FCC regulations, they have to hang up. They are not allowed to tie up you lines incase of emergancy.  The best thing to do is not answer. The answering maching keeps the computer on line longer and generates a larger phone bill for the [***].

I received a call from this number on 3/31/08 at 8:37 pm.  They have made several calls to my number at night and never left a message.  This time I answered the phone - when I did they identified themselves as a "Research Survey" business.  I told them I was on the national no-call list and they hung up.  Very annoying!!

Called and no leave a message

called 4/06/08 at 3:56

They called me just before 9:00pm like telemarketers are allowed..Said was John Rodriguez with a Mexican Oops Hispanic accent.  John wanted to do just a survey about radio stations in my area.  Asked me all sorts of questions about Call Station letters, DJ's and music played on these stations.  Had nothing better to do so I did the survey.  When he orginally called he asked for me by first and last name.  I never verified who I was but said would take the survey.  After all the questions he asked me to verify my first and last name and my home phone for his supervior.  I told "John" I'm not verifing anything and he thanked me for my time.  I've had other calls such as these and they are not on the telemarketers list of "DO NOT CALL" they are not selling.  These call are usually outside survey companies that are hired by cell phone companies to see if you still have a land line or not.  They really do use the information for research and are not bounded by any laws unfortnately.  However, if yo do ask them to stop calling and they don't contact your local phone company and if you keep logs after the third call the phone company will file harrassment charges on your behalf.  The phone company has you use some *** number.  Just contact them if you're that interested.  Hope this helps!!!  TRUST ME IT PISSES ME OFF TOO!!!!!  Oh and the same thing...Mountain West Research Company...231-224-2032

Kyle Smith was the manager I spoke to when they called me.  I got their call at 9:42 PM on 5/1/08! I am currently writing the FCC to complain about them.  I got him to admit the company name was "Mountain West Research".  They call several times a week, but this is the first time it was after 9:00 PM.

I swear if I knew where they were right now I'd be driving there tonight! Please, someone, post the address of this call center in Michigan.  I am in Nebraska but I'd love to pay Kyle a surprise visit and this trip would be worth the gas money!

I called the number back and got a recording about how my opinion matters and they would use my info to help in research.  They said their website was www.mwrcenter.com I went to the website and emailed them about my annoyance.  We will see what they say.

I live in Nebraska, this company called on 5-5-08 at 9:58 p.m.!!!

I have rec'd several calls from this number, they leave no address and when I did answer-there was no response.  They just called again tonight and it is 11 PM.  I usually associate late night calls with an emergency so I make an effort to get to the phone to answer it - no one there!  Just caller id of Research Center.

I got a call last night at 10:25pm!!!  I was in bed and almost asleep.  When the phone rings at that time of the night, you think it's a family emergency, so you just answer it without even checking the caller id (not to mention I couldn't read it anyway without my glasses ... and in the dark no less!).  When the caller said she was from a research center, I asked her if she knew what time it was where she was calling and she said "I do apologize for the inconvenience ..."  I cut her off and said, "I don't accept your apology; GOOD NIGHT!"  I've sent an email to contact@mwrcenter.com telling them that if it happens again, I will research my legal options.  We'll see how that goes!

Nuisance call.
