Marble, I think you should change your name to Dick. Why not just politely ask to be removed from their call list instead of trying to cause permanent hearing damage.

I am not being paid to provide my opinion. People, stop cooperating with these entities! Why give them your opinion on anything for free? They get paid by big business, so let them pay you too.Stop cooperating with them and they will go broke!

Hey Jim E... and others. Hopefully I can clear a few things up for you since I actually work at Market Decisions Corporation in Portland, OR.I've been working for MDC for a while and I'm apparently of those annoying people you seem to be complaining about. ALL of the projects I've worked on have been one of the following: 1.) PAID focus groups (that take place at a later date) to get opinions from real people about a wide variety of products, services and topics. There is NEVER any sales involved and there are no tricks to sell you anything in the future. MDC has many happy participants who enjoy taking part in these sessions, and getting paid for simply offering their opinion. If interested, you can register on our website at www.mdcresearch.com. MDC has been making clients and focus group participants happy for more than 33 years. 2.) Surveys for a variety of clients. These are usually customer satisfaction survey calls to the client's customers, but are sometimes about community issues or politics.It is true that MDC does not have to obey the federal Do Not Call LIst rules - that is because MDC does not do telemarketing - see www.donotcall.gov. They are NEVER selling anything, so it is not telemarketing. Most of the time they are offering an opportunity for you to share your opinion and get PAID for it. The people that do take part in our paid focus groups are essentially our sub-contractors, helping MDC deliver a valued service to their clients. That said, the employees at MDC are more than happy to remove you from their call list if you are never going to be interested in participating in any paid focus groups. Here's how to do that... Spend the 15 to 20 seconds to listen to why they are calling, then tell them that you aren't interested and you'd like to be removed from their call list. You would be amazed how happy I and other employees are to assist pleasant people with this simple request. For the most part, the employees who are calling you, enjoy their work, and enjoy talking to people. I haven't met a single one, however, who enjoys talking to angry and rude people on the phone. Talking to a pleasant person who politely asks to be put on MDC's Do Not Call List, can be as rewarding as qualifying someone for a focus group where they'll make $100 for an hour of their time. I hope this helps alleviate any concerns and also helps prevent some unwanted calls.

Guy politely identified as making a research for Halandale Beach city and asking about Parks and recreation projects.It was just requiring from a template questions about sastisfaction about this renovation project. A little weird anyway.

When I don't want to talk to stupid telescamming privacy invading "surveyors" (which is ALWAYS) I blow a whistle at you.If you -- stupid telescamming privacy invading scumbag -- don't want to talk to angry and rude people, STOP CALLING STRANGERS and get a real job. Bet you can't!

RDD is a firm that harasses and gathers information to harass on behalf of the attorneys that hire them. RDD knows if you are registered with DoNotCall.gov but does not care. If you are in litigation with another party, or about to to be in litigation with another party you should be aware of why RDD is calling you and what information and results they hope to obtain for their "client". This may constitute unlawful and unethical behavior if done by the attorney directly, so RDD is contracted under the guise of "market research" for a "client". This is why RDD's paid harassers mispronounce, speak quickly, garble or hang up on you when you ask who their "client" is. -RDD WHISTLEBLOWER

I'm a service tech from St. Louis, MO and got a call from (503) 977-6714. The only thing my phone showed was the number and that it was from Portland, OR. My phone is provided to me by the company and I never get strange calls on it except when I get drunk dialed from other techs and this one. I was in the bathroom and missed the call and when I tried to call back it just rang with no answer. The call occurred on 6/18/2012 @ 7:54 PM CST.

I got a call from the same number at my parents house asking for me the caller I'd said consumer decisions. I don't even live there. I tried to call to take me off the list no one picked up.

Caller ID showed this number as Market Decision. Called June 20 at 6:37 p.m. And 6/21 at 6:55 p.m. I did not answer the call. No message was left.

Called after 8:30pm - no message left.
