- SinceDayOneDead air on other end of call. Caller ID seems to indicate that the call actually originated from overseas, then "routed" through a US toll-free number?

Claims they don't have to honor the National Don't Call List, because they are not trying to sell me anything. Definitely block this number!!!
- Caller: American Directions Research Firm
- Call type: Survey
- WelderguyRang twice answered it and no one was there.
- DonnaRec'd call from this #, did not answer the phone, but was curious. I called the #, but was ready to hang upp, if necessary. It's a call from a marketing firm. They just want your opinion on certain things. They do have a DO NOT CALL button. I also added the number to my Auto Reject on my phone.
- AnnoyedThis number has called me every evening this week- tonight it was four times. I won't answer it because it's not a number I know. I have blocked it.
- Yet AgainType: Robo-call criminal fraudsters (Why is that not an option? That's the majority of calls, along with debt collectors violating laws.)
It's ba-ack, apparently a big scamming number since 2014 or so. Still at it. Called here too, to a DNC-registered number.
This is a perfect example - "unknown" - of the type of call so easily blocked by phone companies refusing to help its customers.

Like so many other robo-calls, scammers & criminals keep swarming to our Do-Not-Call-listed phones. Non-stop. If only the telcos would lift a finger and do the right thing by implementing tools which already exist which they're not sharing, despite FCC, FTC, and public pressure. When will they do it? Only AT&T appeared willing to listen to the people of America - their consumers - and announced a "strike force" over the summer to come up with a plan and solution "in October". Guess what. It's now March 2017. What happened? (Besides what we're all watching and talking about?! They the telco's want ("need"?) yet another 6 months (7? 8?) to contemplate their navels and hope the chorus of complaints and chants to "do the right thing" just go away?
The phone companies already know what to do ("the right thing") and have the tools. When can we get relief? SPEAK OUT! Complain. Demand. If telcos knew privacy was a #1 consumer concern (beyond encripted passcodes), and we chose where to put our business....
We know: Do-not-call has meant nothing at all, and the clock just keeps tick-ticking away as the telephone companies ignore the outpouring of consumers (and agencies of the US too!) demanding that phone companies do the easy - and RIGHT - thing and give customers (of the non-criminal spamming variety) the right to block robo-calls and spoofed CID's. And how about enforcing existing law to end the flood of such stuff?
With these never-ending scam factories, you can block it - as I just did with this - but like a Whack-a-mole it will just come back masquerading as another number. The ONLY way to stop this nonstop glut of robocalls and spoofed scam&spam mills is to have the phone companies lift a finger (different than the one they now show consumers) and deploy the tools already there (along with Federal permission and encouragement to use them) and stop these criminals from invading our phones.
U.S. Senator Schumer is pushing legislation REQUIRING Telcos to block robo-calls and spoofs for both mobile and landline phones, a great idea which the public wants clearly, which FTC and FCC have approved, which brought competition for software which now exists for Telcos, and is being held back only because the Telco's don't feel like deploying consumer protections. Please report to local authorities and to be most effective, write your Senator and sign the Consumers Union petition demanding that Telephone Companies give us the #1 thing we so need and want - protection from robo-calls and spoofed Caller ID's. It's easy to fix, if OUR chosen phone providers just do it, for all of us. I'd bet that the provider who does so voluntarily will get tons of new business, but as of now, none do. AT&T has finally announced an action plan to be announced in October, but we're "on hold" to see if and when they actually deploy the tools they've long had at their disposal.
We need as collective mega-users of the phone companies, to DEMAND that they lift a pinky to responsibly serve consumers in America. We need Congress to act on this (along with so much else!). All we can do is raise our voices until telco's act responsibly or are ordered to do so, in the face of their continued stalling. Blocking & reporting... though it's likely spoofed and already in the wind. We need help in stopping this!
The Consumers Union petition is again available and our best tool for a loud voice as consumers upon whom the phone companies depend. It's easy to sign onto and - aside from Sen. Schumer in our oh-so-effective Congress - offers the only loud voice the Telco's might hear through their static - worth signing still until our telephone companies - who have the fixes in hand - end this plague:
https://consumersunion.org/end-robocalls/ - Consumer Reports Petition to Telcos: Give us the tools to stop phone intrusions!
Speak out! Do-Not-Call is a joke and criminal fraudsters using robo-call and fake identities are only increasing. There's an easy fix waiting.
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx - National Do-Not-Call Registry - they *say* they'll investigate (and then?)
Meanwhile, pray that we still have a CFPB in the near and distant future! Best thing "for the people" in decades. People, people... speak up!- Caller: "unknown"

- P.K.I got a call after midnight from this number, and accidentally called it back. It said it was a Market Research company looking for the opinions of Americans for helping formulate laws and marketing strategies. It's probably more on the marketing strategies side of things, right? They say they are operating in compliance with the rules of the do not call list (and yet not) and are not selling or soliciting donations. Information offered to this number will be used by govt and business entities. Then they give you an option to be removed from their internal phone list, but they ask you to respond by requesting that "service" and then asking you to type in your cell number, which to me is just a ploy to get you to say that you HAVE a cell that is active. They call in the middle of the night, IN THE USA, and that doesn't make sense at all. Are they a Chinese bot intended to give us a bad night's sleep? Or something even more nefarious? WTH? They are on numerous sites like this for calling people at ridiculously inappropriate times of day, night and weekends.
