a survey wanting to know what I do with the stamps I buy from the post office.Included a code to enter to answer the questions.Even though it was a recording i still said into the phone to stop calling.Filed a complaint on the do not call list.

Same here -- thanks for posting Judie. Fortunately, I've only had a few calls from them every couple of days and it's not a constant thing....like some telemarketers can be!! Heading over to the complaint form on the Do Not Call Registry now.

If it really is the post office and not a telemarketer then it's not bound by the DNC list. I personally am skeptical that it is legitimately on behalf of the post office though.

I got this just now as well and am also not sure I believe it is really for the US Postal Service. I inclined to believe it is someone trying to sell stamps or something and attempting an end run around DNC complaints by vetting if you collect stamps first with the "poll" and by you having to call back with a pass code generated after the poll. When I called it back I couldn't get anywhere without a code.

Same here. I would not use the "code" in the event that some savvy computer geek patches into a number that runs up a huge phone bill, which I would be required to pay. Too bad there are so many scumbags out there that you really can't trust anyone.

This is a valid survey call. The company is Synovate Global Research Panel and they are an internationally recognized survey provider to hundreds of companies, probably one of the largest market research companies in the US of not the world. The caller identifies herself as Marie, the same name as all of their surveys-by-mail.

received a call at 2:23pm from a female computer automated voice wanting for an opinion for the United States Postal Service on two questions with the first asking if anyone uses stamps to collect but not use and gives three options (1 for yes, 2 for no, 3 for don't know) but as I was skeptical I didn't press any number then after three attempts to elicit a response the female voice states the phone you are using does not recognize your entries then disconnects automatically

This is a legitimate survey from the U.S. Postal Service.  It is not the typical scam telemarketer.  Do not worry.
