calls me every 3 days - just filed a complaint at crtc - get 'em crtc!

good site thanks a bunch

Hang up on this one or block the number as I did!

Just be polite and ask them to take your name of their list.

Go to http://www.opinionsearch.com/en/research-participants/call-list-removal for removal...maybe!

Survey company, calls and asks for me by first name as if they are an acquaintance... will not leave message with my husband, call repeatedly each evening at the same time even though my husband has told them not to call anymore.  At first he was nice about it and wasn't sure if it was an old friend or client trying to reach me, so told them they could not reach me in the evenings.  After they continued phoning and phoning, he's not so nice baout it anymore.An internet search identified the company for me.

The toll-free phone number to call to get Opinion Search is 1-+1 866-288-0199 not the 800 area code given before.

Heh, about getting compensated -- the thing you might want to know is that if you do respond to a telephone survey like the ones Decima does, you may have the opportunity to get on their lists and be invited to a focus group. I did a couple several years ago, about relatively interesting subjects. Did another one last year, again about an interesting subject and one that I consider important and did want to voice my opinion on. The going rate for a 60 or 90 minute commitment is $125 plus a snack. So don't be too hasty about hanging up! ;)

Does anybody who posts on these sites ever read anything that has already been posted?

Opinion survey / market research companies are NOT governed by the do-not-call list. Period.

The first page here contains a very clear explanation of what this company is and does, and how to stop receiving calls. It really is a legitimate public opinion research group, and the people working for it really are reasonable people, not boiler room fraud artists. The survey may be for a private company, or for your municipal government; either way, it's to get your opinion about something of concern to their client. You may want to make your opinion known. This is a way of doing it.

While I'm not interested in providing my opinions about dish soap or cat food, I do actually like to be heard on social and political issues.

If only they would never call at bad times, and would speak to our answering machines and give US the option of answering or calling back. It's the hangups on the answering machine I hate, because I don't answer without knowing who's calling.

It is Opinion Search.

Located in Montreal. Apparently, the law allows market research firms to call households up to 10PM now. Used to be 9PM.

If you get calls from this number in the day, on a weekday; then it has something to do with business. They only make business calls from 9 to 5.

Most likely its a customer satisfaction survey for a bank or telecommunication service. You mentioned you got a new phone, maybe it is for that, to see if you are satisfied.
