Just received a call from this number, didn't answer, not voice mail message left. I've gotten to the point if I don't recognize the number I just let it ring.
I recieved an inbound call from this number, but by the time I answered, nobody was there. I hit redial on my phone, and got another phone number in the 217 area (the same area code as I am in) I did not believe the lady as she told me what was happening. The thing is, I did not beleive her. I researched online and found that in fact, the situation was as she described. I am on the do not call list, and have been for several years. I have renewed my status at least twice.
da dot doomm doomm da doom! (Fading away musical theme score from the Pink Panther movies to you ! )
This is the response from this company;This is to confirm receipt of your request to remove your telephone number from our database.FMR Associates is a market research only company.

The telephone number has been permanently removed from our database at your request.We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.Sincerely,FMR Associates, Inc.
Just got a call from FMR [***]. & went on Bing to find info, so here I am. Guy says he's doing a survey & do I listen to the radio??!! No, I've been in a cave since birth!! I only said one swear word (which is not banned on TV either) and asked why they think people on a DNCL would want to participate in a survey, and not to call my number again. Didn't wait for his response. These survey calls are annoying and an imposition....especially on a Sunday night at dinner time. I did not read all the posts so don't know if this was mentioned by anyone.......our Air Force son did his stint in Afghanistan a year ago and, thank God, was able to call home about once a week. From the phone he used, the caller ID showed random numbers from a variety of area US area codes and phone numbers. Apparently, this is done for security reasons so as to not pin point his location. He will be on tour again in another 3 months. Do I not want to answer the phone while he's gone thinking it's a telemarkerter - NO! These survey people make me very angry!!!!!!
What you have said is on PARTIALLY true.If you call someone with a "survey" and they ask you to NOT call them again, the law states you can NOT call that number again for 1 FULL YEAR. Doing so constitutes a violation of the DNC laws.The first call is allowed, but only the first call. If they do not tell you to not call them, then another call is allowed.But once you have been told to not call, you cannot legally call that number again for 365 days.
The real reason for the survey exception to the DNC is Congress people rely on telephone polls during election time to help get reelected. The survey industry didn't have to bribe them (at least this industry didn't) because they were acting in their own self interest, which is pretty predictable.
I keep trying to explain how these telemarketing scams happen (they really need to put this at the top of the page so EVERYONE READS IT), but here we go again:1: Nobody is "obtaining your phone numbers" illegally, they use a computer program that's designed to randomly dial numbers, it's formerly known as war dialing (Google it).2: Nobody is "selling" your phone numbers. Think about it. These scammers are in the business of making money. Why would they pay anyone for telephone numbers, when they use robocalling as described in (1)?3: None of these scammers or companies review 800notes. Putting up a "Stop calling me!" comment here will not stop them from calling you. You can't really do anything about it with the DNC list (They're scammers, do you think they care about the laws?), because they're outside of the country, and also likely are spoofing their caller ID (which is why a caller ID for say, Florida, turns out to be some Indian guy in New Delhi).Could the mods/admins here please put that disclaimer on their page? At least give people advice so they don't get completely freaked out, put on an aluminum foil hat, and shoot up the local AT&T store? Thanks.
Called me on 5/12/11 around 3pm. Left no message on my answering machine.If you don't like the way these guys operate, go through this whole thread and get the phone numbers and email addresses of FMR executives (they appear in a number of posts) and then go to the shopping mall and fill out every mall survey/contest entry form you can find with their information. Don't sign a signature if one is requested, that's forgery unless you sign your own name. (Believe me, the contest scammers won't care) This will place their addresses, phone numbers and Email accounts on every spam, junk mail and telemarketing sucker list imaginable. Who knows, they might win a Florida vacation or Ford Explorer! :)
Have tried everything an NOTHING stops the flow of unwanted calls. Half the time the "survey" callers are really tele-scammers. Back in time, I believed that you could ask to get taken off a calling list, that the DNC list actually worked, and that most people who called, were NOT liars and thieves. After you receive up to 15 unwanted calls a day, yep ... you DO get grumpy and snarly about. Blocking calls only works for short periods of time, as the spoofed numbers are always changing. If a charity or survey company calls, they are as unwanted as the criminal calls, and it seems appropriate to treat them ALL the same. If some folks don't get why other folks are bothered by the constant phone harassment, then you are pretty clueless.
