I have started to receive calls from this number as well. The calls started 2 days ago. No voicemail left. Called it back out of curiousity...
It is a Marketing Research Company called Flake Wilkerson Marketing Research who claims to be exempt from the Do-Not-Call list because their research "benefits" consumers. They claim to only try to call your number up to 5 times total and will not try again thereafter. They also claim that your phone number is computer generated.

why did you call?

i too recieved a call from 501-217-3296 now at least 2 times , and I am on the do not call list.  Guess they dont honor it, does it do any good to report them?  p.s. nobody says anything after i say hello there is just a  click and dead,  but its still annoying

ANNOYING!!!!!

Who called me?  I got an 'unknown caller' on my cell phone.  If it is a telemarketer I want them reported.

called me once today

3-19-08.  Flake Wilkerson has called me twice now.  It comes up in the caller ID as that, and I figured it was some sort of telemarketer or survey.  So I never answered.

I received a call from this number today.  No voicemail was left.  I returned the call and an answering machine picked up stating it was a marketing company conducting a survey...blah, blah, blah.

same as the rest of you wouldn't like to be able to even with garbage? No I don't know how but sure would like to be able to stop as have a sick lady here and bothers her a lot. we are in az.

They call my house all of the time. Doesn't matter if I pick right up or wait... there's nothing more than a click on the other end and then it hangs up. Irritating.

I like the idea of bombarding them with emails.

I would say don't answer...they may be looking for patterns of when you answer the phone to sell the info to other callers.  That's the only reason I can see for it hanging up.

I answered the phone and a lady gave her name and said she was calling about a recent call I had made to QWest communications customer service.  I said she must be mistaken and asked her the name on the account.  She gave me my name. I told her I hadn't talked to them and to please not call back.  She said, "Sorry" and hung up.  I then realized I had called QWest last month and had forgotten about it.  Oh well.

I started recieving the calls a couple days ago. I call Qwest recently too. I don't appreciate B.S. automated calls from anyone. Now it sounds like my phone company sold me out. What can we do?

Was my cell too. And I just changed my number in July. How do they get our cell numbers? Creeps, it was almost 9pm out here.  No one knows my cell number except my family and friends.  Flat out pissed me off!! And yes, I'm with qwest too. They have just recently changed to verizon, so they must have sold us out. My contract runs out next month, so I'm just having it shut off. And whoever found all that info, thanks. I answered it cause I know people in that area, and nothing, and it just faded off!

Found a 'Do Not Contact' form on their website.

We'll see if this works.

I'll try Bill's idea above and see if they stop calling, or call more, now that I have responded.
