someone just called from this number 10 minutes ago...I called it back and got a generic male automated voice saying "I'm sorry we are not available to take your call, please leave a message after the tone"

Just got a call from this number & when I picked up no one answered.  I have put my name on the national Do Not Call List so if I ever do have someone call again & I get a live person, I'll demand to be put on their DNL list.

I've been getting calls from this number as well.  Nobody says anything when I answer the phone.

SUCCESS! (I hope)I tried David Wilson's advice (see post from April 15th) and received a response from the company.  I left a telephone message and e-mailed Mr. Nanos.  His written reply was:"Thank you for your note. I will have your number removed from the list. Please note you have not received a ?telemarketing? call. We are a market research firm conducting public opinion survey of Canadians. Your numbers have been removed.Cheers,John"Figure that, eh?Good luck all and be proactive!R.

Todat at 6:02 pm, this number showed on my call display.  At 6:32 pm, a second call from a Toronto number was displayed:  1-(416) 640-3489.  When I googled this second number, it has a web site similar to this one.  I think that they are both from the same company.

You guys will all s***! This is a true story. Just about 15 min. ago we got a call from this same number, when my wife answered there was no one on the line. We tried to call back and the voice told us that the number was out of service. This would be weird under normal circumstances or just annoying. Unfortunately we were in the middle of watching the RING! I am not kidding. We paused the movie because my wife was too scared. The phone rang ten seconds after we paused the movie. My wife HAD to answer the phone. The lack of anyone on the other end was too much for her. Then the call that told us the number didn't exist. Thank God for this chat thread or my wife would still be in a stress ball on the floor! That is assuming you guys are all still alive! Thought you would all enjoy this story, see, it could be worse than just an annoying tele-marketer.
