Called for my little sister who married, asked for her by her maiden name and said they were calling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) so she could take a survey. Told them not to call again, I think it's a scam.

scam

Kept asking me, "Is this Kim?" but apparently couldn't hear me and we were disconnected.

Not a scam.  I actually work for this company and we have been conducting surveys for the IRS for over ten years atleast.   We conducts surveys for many large corporations and well known products.  Just recently our facility has expanded to conducting in-house focus groups which pay very well.  Anyway, I just wanted to put your mind at ease that no one was trying to scam you.

Sure, You would say they are OK.  If you work for them of course you want us to answer the phone,
I get these calls on a daily basis and even if you talk to them, they never quit.  One lady asked me for my birth date. I hung up. Now they claim to be working for the IRS, That should scare me into telling my life history... Not
Of course if you work for these ppl you would want us to think their are ok, even if they are not

Look I was only trying to make people feel more comfortable.  I know that I would also feel uncomfortable is someone said that they were calling me on behalf of the IRS.  If you go to www.irs.gov and type in Russell Research into the search bar on the upper right corner you will see our name come up as well as full reports on the various surveys that we have done for them.  It's actually pretty interesting.

So we're supposed to feel more comfortable knowing that the IRS is paying clowns like you to invade our privacy? Damn, that sure is "interesting" to see how our own tax money is being used against us and enriching professional privacy invaders like you. "Sickening" is a better word for it than "interesting".

Ever get a loud whistle in your ear? It means STOP CALLING FOREVER.

You work for worldcom comunications Inc or some bs

I received a call from 201-528-0361 that said Russell Research with the name "Robert Kennedy" on my caller ID. Sounds like a scam to me.

They called at 9:33 PM EST.   Left no message.  Legitimate callers should use regular hours and leave a message.  Suspect scam.

Dont call me!!!!

5:16 pm...russell research.left message saying they were calling for the irs for a survey/had both my name and my husband and we have an unlksted number.left message to call back and a name to ask for.DID NOT, OF COURSE!!

You can stop calling. No one is going to fall for your stupid tricks. You ARE trying to scam people. Even if you are not taking info for the purpose of identity theft/fraud you are gathering information to me used to "market" to us. That is just a fancy word that means you are trying to trick us into buying inferior products that we neither want nor need.

BULLSH!T    Since when does the IRS farm out any work like robocalling surveys WHAT A CROCK OF [***]

"J" get a real ffriggin' job and stop bothering people who don't want your bullsh!t calls

Russell Research, President John Debiasio. We don't really care why you're calling, What irritates us is the way you call and don't leave a name or message and then keep calling. It's rude, intrusive and abusive... and whether you represent the IRS or not, it's no way to do business. As usual, you do it because you can and because it puts a buck in YOUR pocket, not because it's the right way to do things. POS.

Called today at 12:38 pm.  Claimed to be called on behalf of the IRS, wanting business owners to participate in a survey so the IRS could use the results to provide better service.  Asked for both of us by name.  I said we don't own a business.  She asked if we filed a Schedule C or a 1099 -- I did not answer, as it's not her business.  She then said she'd remove our names from their list.

I call BS.  If the IRS really and truly wants to contact business owners to provide better services, it had bloody well better do so via something far more believable than a cold call.

The IRS site does turn up Russell Research in a site search, but cold calls are not how I will participate.

Got a call; hit this up first and did not answer.Glad I didn't.

I never heard of the irs having a company do cold calls for them for info.  First off if somebody wants your ssn/birth date then that should send a red flag right up.

Second why is the caller id not saying it is russell research.

So yes they called me too.  I stopped them at birth date and said that is none of your business.

Be carefull who you give your info to, this sounds like what they call phising tryingg to get the little bits of info so they can steal you tax return.

Mine came up as Rutherfford NJ on the caller ID. They never leave a message.. I'm going to start answering all these phone calls and just have my son scream into the phone....  So irritating!
