617-245-9601

This is a company called Kids First.  They called and offered to send me two free films to review.  I agreed.  I was curious how they got my cell number and the guy said they were calling all numbers in our area.  Apparently they can do that because they are non-profit.  I googled the company name and it seems for real.

Call came on my cell phone and was very polite.  Accepted 2 free movies for my kids.  No strings.

Wanted to google the number before I accepted the free movies.  Found this website:  www.kidsfirst.org   They are a non-profit that is trying to improve entertainment choices for children.  When they call back, I plan to support them.

Do not have children, do not watch movies, did not appreciate the call

These guys have called me three times this week using up my call minutes. I don't have small kids, do not want what they are offering, and especially do not want their calls. I Googled the number and supposedly it is a website called Kids First. I contacted them. We'll see if they stop!

I received an unknown phone call from "John" seemed very nice and polite at first, But when I started asking question he wouldn't answer and finally hung up after getting my information.

This number called me while i was at school and i was scared because this number is not in my area, Michigan.

I have been called twice from this number on my cell phone! While I was at work! I have registered on the no call list! If you have not the number is    1-888-382-1222. People should not be able to call our cell phones that we pay for the minutes on and telemarket us! This needs to STOP!

All the comments say they're calling numbers from the area, but the number is a Massachusetts number, and I am in Iowa. I am confused as to how they got my cell number. It sounds okay, but I was a little weirded out.

googled the number and company found the company seems good but have a problem with the number it comes from MA the company is out west i can't be sure how was calling i'll keep the web site in fav they seem like a good company but calling my cell is not ok at all my number is only given to a few pepole

Called my cell this morning i did not answer.

This companies methods are questionable. They are doing market research that someone is getting paid for and calling it a non-profit. It's a totally slimy work around to do interuption marketing.  

They use a sophisticated, interuption marketing, predictive response, phone spam robot and they should be shut down.

I got this call at 7am. I was under the impression that it was illegal to call for business before 8am. I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message and when I tried to call back, I got a extremely generic "Thank you for calling Customer Service" recording, which made me suspicious.

After reading some of these comments, I feel like if it was truly a legitimate organization,  it would be a lot easier to return the call.

This number has called not leaving messages. When calling the number back a recording picks up saying customer service, then no one comes back on the line.  The actual kids first number is 505.989.8076

This is a scam! When you give companies like this your information, your name, address, etc is likely sold out to other companies who will send you crap in the mail.  

What's wrong with you people? Giving out your information to a complete stranger? Have you not heard of identity theft?

This number did not identify himself as being from 'kids First' He said he was calling on behalf of the producers of a brand new TV show and wanted my name and address to send me out a pilot epidode of the show....

I hung up!

I got the call from "John" claiming to be a producer blah blah blah.

I know they have a website and their claims, but it disturbs me that the calls only/mainly seem to be going to cell phones.  My husband got the same call.  I don't buy the "we're calling everyone in the area."  My gut says they're not legit.

I requested I be taken off this call list and the company won't comply.

My son just received call from this number...because it was not on his contact list he did NOT answer it.  Thank you all for letting us know who was calling him.

This is not wonderful; randomly calling numbers in an area is an invasion and purely illegal.

This reeks of scam/fishing expedition to me. The web site mentioned earlier (www.kidsfirst.org) appears to have been shut down.  If you do a reverse lookup on 617-245-9601 you'll find the number is not listed - which also reeks (most legitimate companies, even non-profit, have listed numbers).

Who knows how they're getting cell numbers.  I don't have a land line and therefore use my cell for everything.  Buying crap online and entering a phone number in the checkout process is all it would really take.
