They said that is was a consumer survey of voters.  I said I am on the National Do Not Call List.  End of call.

I am marking this as a survey call, but I really think it was a political call but didn't get far enough in to establish that.

I'm getting tired of these calls.  Please stop them.  You have the phone number.

Get a police whistle, have it handy, blow it into the phone as loud & as long as you can. I did it; they have not called me since.

This caller called my #, and the caller did not speak and disconnected the call after I repeatedly said "Hello". So dumb.

You might think they would take your number from their list but they just call from another number with another name.

Does not help to report a number to the feds or people that suppose to prevent these type calls.  The "Do Not Call" list is a bunch of bullspit!

unsolicited call

Thanks to Dan for giving all of your 'info'...You are being turned over to our State Democratic Party...there are lots and lots of us Democrats who will not stand by and let people like you try to spread lies about our candidates!  You may have gotten by with this in 2010, but let me tell you you cannot get by with this anymore!

Based on my caller ID, the number 281-825-4339 has called me several times around dinner time. Since I do not answer calls from numbers that I do not recognize, the firm "CONSUMER RESCH" does not leave a message on my landline answering machine.

With a bit more research using the information posted by previous respondents, I was able to locate the confidential final report. (This URL is very long, so you may wish to use the provided TinyURL:  http://tinyurl.com/Altria-Survey    )

The political survey is likely a smokescreen to evade the DNC list stipulations It is clear from the survey results that Altria has successfully rebranded itself as a means to disguise that it is a tobacco company.

The firm just called again, I did not pick up, so they left a message this time. They requested to speak with my wife by name.

Called last night, never identified themselves, just simply started asking about political stuff.  I answered a few of their questions, but it was taking forever.  Then the guy asked me if this was a cell number.  After I thought about it, I thought they weren't supposed to call cell numbers.

I did not recognize the number, so I answered..”Criminal Investigations” and a female voice replied with.. “wrong number” and hung up.

They just don't stop.They call at least 2-3 times a day. I have answered in the past,they go on and tell me their doing a research,and I go on and hang up. Looks like they would get the message that I do not want to be involved in their research. I do NOT want any more of the phone calls !

Received two hang up calls from this number- sent email telling them to stop or I will file a complaint with our Attorney General's office, they love to go after people like this.

Hear, hear!!  I was just warned about an hour ago by the campaign manager for my awesome Democratic State Rep  candidate that there is a push poll going on.  We are requested to write down the questions asked and all information that can be obtained.  Guess I'm going to have to pick if they call again and I'm actually home...hate doing that but if it will help my local Dems then I'm in.

From their website:  Why did you call me?

Voter Consumer Research is involved in the public opinion research business. We contact people on behalf of a variety of clients, but we always do so to measure public opinion on a specific topic or issue, not to sell anything. We are not a marketing or sales organization.
How did you get my number?

We obtain lists from a variety of vendors who themselves purchase, compile and maintain lists in their own ways. However, most of our telephone lists fall into two broad categories: voter lists and RDD (Random Digit Dialing) lists.

Voter lists are typically compiled by state bodies such as a Secretary of State or Board of Elections and are available for purchase. RDD dialing is more complicated, but essentially involves taking a known working "block" of telephone numbers and then randomly generating new numbers from them. The main advantage of RDD dialing is in reaching households with unlisted phone numbers.
I signed up for the Do Not Call List, so why did you call me?

The National Do Not Call Registry applies to telemarketers and sellers of goods and services. Since Voter Consumer Research does not sell any goods or services over the telephone, nor do we solicit money in any way, our activities are not covered by the National Do Not Call Registry. However, we understand that some people choose to not participate in an opinion survey. While we value your opinion and would like to include you in our survey, if you do not want us to call you just let our interviewer know and we will do everything possible to remove your number from the calling list.

Just say "This call is being recorded for my protection. Romney sucks donkey di*ks." a
nd hang up.

But Keith how do you know that this is his Name or his picture.  I answer and he ask to speat to the youngest male in my house.  Strange if you ask me.
