Just received a call from this number.  Didn't answer, but when I called back I received an automated message saying it was Product Development Corp.  The purpose of this call, it explained, was because they were delivering telephone books in my area and I was randomly selected to participate in a delivery survey.  It then went on to offer me the option to be placed on their do not call list.

I don't know what they are surveying about, other than to confirm that the phone book was delivered...which in my case, it was, 3 days ago.

Although I didn't answer the phone and they didn't leave a message, it very well could be about whether telephone books were delivered, seeing that someone dropped off a phonebook at our doorstep the other day.

These are the same folks who bring you Rachel from Card Holder Services.

they always call the day after we get our phone book...not a big deal, just answer it.  They are just making sure the people they pay for delivery are doing their jobs and that we aren't getting damaged phone books.  If you don't answer now that you know it isn't the devil calling, don't complain when they keep trying.  Once you "politely" answer yes or no to receiving the phone book, you can ask to go on their internal DNC list so they don't bother you once a year.

If you tell them you did not get your phone book, then the poor person who IS trying to work and DID deliver the books might not get paid.

Got a call 12/14/12. The caller ID says Prod Dev Corp. I guess this is the same group in Michelle's note that was trying to justify its existence. I got their stupid phone book and promptly dumped it into the recycle bin.

Recorded message to see if Verizon book delivered. I have a computer, keep the book.Really?

The do not call list also applies to the US. I don't know where you got your info. Problem is identifying those that are not abiding by it and taking legal action. Not as easy as it sounds. It is not always phishing, in this case it was to ascertain the delivery of a phone book. Other cases they are telemarketers. No one answer.

phone book my ass. i live in Canada. the number showed it was from Colorado!!!

While I appreciate your response and I understand that you want to verify delivery ... WHY DO YOU HANG UP AS SOON AS SOMEONE PICKS UP THE PHONE???

That is what is annoying.  I too am on the Do not call registry, and you state that this is not an unsolicited call.  If that is true, then respond when when someone picks up the phone!

who called

Something to keep in mind about all these continuing bothersome calls for surveys, so called charities and so called charity pickups despite asking them to remove you from their list:

Call centers have sprung up in my town that make use of the survey and the charity loophole around the do not call list; they have been a headache for law enforcement, emergency services, neighboring businesses and residential areas.  When I ask any patrolling officer in town about these call centers, they are quick to state their frustrations about the criminal activity that some of these call centers have brought into the area. Several law enforcement agencies regularly visit some of these call centers looking for warrant arrests etc.  I have heard from sources including from frustrated employees that work for these call centers complaining about the drug activity, vandalism of cars and neighboring businesses, break-ins and theft, drinking while on the job, smoke breaks are actually marijuana breaks, drunk driving, very dangerous driving, tons of tossed out litter of empty liquor containers, trash, food etc.  I’ve even heard that the mangers are also involved in criminal activities and have even preyed on their legitimate employees who are simply trying to eek out a living on horrible wages.  Also the operators are untrained in a very high turn around, poorly managed and dysfunctional work environment.

Also realize this when you call a companies’ customer service line and get horrible service from the call center that’s been hired by the company.  One time while on a call with our bank’s customer service, the operator was so loopy that it required ending the call and calling again to try and get someone else to help, think about that when you call a companies’ customer service and the conversation gets odd, off the wall and obtuse – you may be talking to an operator that’s drunk or on something.  After 6 months of getting a different and wrong answer to our ongoing problem each time we called our bank’s call center, we gave up and closed the account.

With so little police left in our town due to cutbacks, they can’t always respond to vandalism and break-ins when it’s witnessed as they have their plate full responding to the major emergencies, this allows the criminal activity free reign, the neighborhood becomes the hood.  Some insurance companies require proof of private security patrols before they will honor a claim due to vandalism or theft leaving the neighboring businesses off guard and uncovered.  These businesses also have the added cost to hire private security, install security systems/monitoring, upgrade lighting etc.  Then there are the dangers and headaches to the nearby businesses employees such as their cars being vandalized or broken into.  Some businesses simply give in, pickup and move out of town.

One of my neighbors owns a call center and he requires that his operators are bonded, but I guess there’s no laws requiring this – there should be.  Right now in my town it seems like anybody can start up a call center and hire questionable labor for cheap without much regulation.

I my efforts the past several years to try and get something done, I am most struck by the fact that there’s no real help, everyone is more worried about being sued than dealing with the obvious problem - you are on your own while the town is taken over by the crime these call centers bring into the neighborhoods....

It was a call to see if the telephone books that were left on my porch 3 days previously had been delivered. No harassment.

Checking to see if I received my Dex Yellow Pages.  Appears to be legit.  They call every 6 months when I get a new phone book.

Who is trying to kill you? These calls are an indicator that you are ther victim of organized harrassment. The goal of this harrassment is your death and it is perfectly legal in Canada.

Criminal Code of Canada

228. Killing by influence on the mind

228. No person commits culpable homicide where he causes the death of a human being
(a) by any influence on the mind alone, or
(b) by any disorder or disease resulting from influence on the mind alone,
but this section does not apply where a person causes the death of a child or sick person by wilfully frightening him.


How do you commit homicide by influence on the mind? From my experiences and from what I have read, homicide by influence on the mind is committed using Mobbing and Gangstalking techniques.

Why would a person search the number from a legitimate call and post a comment. These "legitimate" posts smell fishy to me.

Whenever I get one of these calls, as soon as there is a live person on the phone, I start blowing a whistle as loud as I can until they hang up.   The calls will stop.   It works!

Please stop Calls
