Actually Kantar is a marketing research firm that's owned by Milward Brown. My ex wife used to work for them and all they do is call up placess to conduct surveys, not conduct sales. As such they don't have to follow the laws placed against telemarketers (the people who actually do try to sell you stuff) and don't even have do not call lists. The laws can be confusing but that's how it goes

Starts out saying we are research company. We are not trying to sell you anything.  Everyone knows what that means. They are trying to sell you something!  I thought being on a no call list would block these calls!?

Joanna Wison of Milward Brown called my boss but I picked up phone. Phone display showed Kantor Operation and phone #.  They asked for boss by name - he was in a meeting.  Then they asked for the CFO or whoever made financial decisions and stated "this is not a sales call."  CFO was in a meeting with my boss.  I asked for company name and phone number at which pint she said we wouldn't be able to call her back and she'd call later.

I will warn boss and CFO to look out for name on display.

starts out by saying this is not a sales call etc etc etc

They say they call me randomly. Bull. They continue to call. I have spoken with them before. I told them if they do not stop calling me, I will have a harrassment charge put against them. They said we are above the law and that we are not telemarketers. They ask too many personal questions. They are persistant, when I told them a month ago I am not interested and hung up. I have on my phone log they keep calling till you answer. This company has something more in there intent then a simple survey.  This is not an innocent company survey. Beware
