Just rec'd a call from this # - 416 is a Toronto area code which means it was approx. 10:30 p.m. Toronto time.  Why are these idiots allowed to make their so-called research calls at that time of night?  This is most disturbing!  I have been tracking "unknown" name callers I've rec'd over the past couple of months, some multiple times over and over, so far I'm up to 10, now I have 1 more to add.  The DNC list is a joke, it DOES NOT WORK!  Most of these call centres are not even based in Canada.  Maybe it's time the phone companies that hand out phone numbers to the vast majority of these scammers/telemarketers/researchers, etc. that are creating such havoc to the privacy of others, be held accountable for the constant intrusion of privacy being forced upon the public.

Some pathetic d-bag just called me from this number at 9:14 pm on a wednesday!!!! Where do these morons get the nerve to phone someone's house that late at night!

Called twice today, nobody there on pickup.The GM of this operation is Graham Loughton and his direct number is (416) 488-2333.Feel free to call him and express your opinions of his company.

this number is calling me over and over annoying!!(416) 544-3005

Dec 28/2007.  Call from (416) 544-3005
"Research House" to do a survey.
The toll free number on internet for Research House is 1-+1 800-701-3137. They have a "call dept". so can request to have number removed. They claimed would be removed within 48 hours.  We'll see.  

If they call once more, Bell, CRTC, and Phonebusters will be informed of an harassment and non-compliance of Rules.

I used to work as a telephone interviewer and wanted to give some info for everyone.

If it is Research House calling. It is a market research company. While you may ask them to remove you from their list it can take a while for them to implement it into their whole system for other studies. Also, if they are calling on behalf of your bank or other institution you have dealt with it is always possible they could call you again. If they are calling on behalf of your bank or someone you've dealt business with I'm pretty sure you can call these banks or businesses and asked not to be called for research studies.

Also, there are a few exceptions to the National Do Not Call. See here for more info: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/t1030.htm

The main reason you may be getting multiple calls is if they are using an auto-dialer. The auto-dialer will cycle through numbers and automatically filters out Not In Service and busy numbers (for efficiency reasons). This is also sometimes while you'll get a moment of silence before someone says anything. The auto-dialer will forward an answered call to the first available person in the call center.
