3127751287

I have just received two calls from this number, preceeded by the prefix: 91 (the country code for India).  Caller ID shows the number as 913127751287. Caller ID name (which showed IPSOS for their ten-digit number) reads "Unavailable" for the 12-digit number.  My phone company cannot block 12-digit numbers, but my telephone can!  It will ring once or twice now, and then automatically disconnect them.  Yay!

I had thought this might be legit (see my post above), but now I'm fairly certain this is a total scam.

I received a call yesterday @ 3:15 from this number with the 191 prefix from India in front of it. The caller Id said Unavailable.I blocked it. Today I received a call at 2:55 from the number appearing as Chicago, IL. Now both versions are blocked. I'm guessing they never meant for their call center ID from India to appear.

Just another telemarketer hat does not follow the rules and are crappy DNC registry is toothless,

They called three times in 4 days so I use free software called Phonetray and a $15 modem from Amazon and have been having any  numbers marked as Telemarketers immediately pickup and play a recording such as NO TELEMAKETERS ARE ALLOWED and then it hangs up on you,  You have the choice of changing it to say "THIS NUMBER  IS NO LARGER IN SERVICE", and others.  '''

I check my phone logs daily from my free program and noticed it has intercepted this  iPOS number 5 times in the last few days.  Generally they quit calling once a live person hears the recording which is hard because of the robo calling going on these days..

I am not affiliated with the software company (Besides most are free like the one I use) nor the hardware but if you need help or have questions then email me D-e-a-n AT T-r-I-a-d-n-e-t-w-o-r-k-I-n-g  DOT com and I will get back to you when possible.

This company was offering a membership in a club for $29.99 one time and one of the benefits of membership is not having to pay income tax to the IRS.  I can't believe my luck, the attendant told me that they only are allowed to call 99 homes a day and mine was one of them. All they asked for was a credit card number and security code, now I am on my way to being able to keep a lot more of my take home pay.  Hopefully some of you will be as fortunate as me.

Some dude selling baseball bats, craziest line telling they have a bat that hits more and further then conventional baseball bats.  Next thing the service rep. asked me if I play any ball and I told him I did 60 years ago, but have since retired.  Can you imagine?

A company selling ownership in pro basketball teams.  I told him that I was an owner in the Charlotte Bobcats and that I would like to sell him my franchise because it ain't worth a crap.  He hung up as soon as he figured out which team I was talking about.  The bobcats are bad, but I did not realize that they are that bad.

What seems to be lacking is your understanding that I pay for my phone service, its not free.  Why should anyone be allowed to harass and call relentless for something I buy ???  They do not pay for my phone service yet they abuse it.  I did not buy phone service for this type of bs.
If you come knocking on my door where I pay rent or a mortgage I will tell you in no uncertain terms to leave me alone and don't come back.  It works because they don't if they are foolish enough to do it anyway.
This phone crap must end but there will be no help from a bought out political party on any side because they are bought and paid for corporate slacks

Instead of relying on caller ID, try to do your homework! First of all, Everything is outsourced now days! Our personal information is being entered onto Internet sources before we the consumers actually have the opportunity to know what is about to hit us! Many times our information is used by others without our knowledge which in turn causes an endless amount of grief. The main culprit behind all of these calls is the Domestic Business Corp. located in Prescott, Arizona which is part of Bartlett Inc, Ipsos, Synovate which do the Spam/Telemarketing/Phishing/Survey/Scam-Fraud calls for every Scamming Thief known to man. The worst part is, these characters are backed up by the Fasth Law Offices 629 E. Boca Raton Rd. Phoenix, Arizona 85022 and their client is Rosa Foglequist 8740 S.W. Olsson Rd. Portland, Oregon 97223. Ipsos/Synovate 222 S.Riverside Plaza Suite 350 Chicago, Illinois 60606 ph: 312-526-4000. Other locations: Austin, TX Bellevue, WA Boston, MA Cincinnati, OH Columbia, MD Culver, CA Fresno, CA Glendale, CA Indianapolis, IN Mahwah, NJ NYC,NY Minneapolis, MN Norwalk, CT Parsippany, NJ Plymouth Meeting, PA Princeton, NJ San Francisco, CA San Ramon, CA Southfield, MI St.Louis, MO Washington DC Westbury, NY Wilton, CT just to name what has been found. Oh yea, the law office is also Estate Planning! BEWARE OF PARTICIPATING IN ANY AND ALL SURVERYS because they just open bad doors that have vicious monsters behind them waiting to get you!!!

Hello,
I work for Ipsos, and like the majority of those who work there, if we could, we'd be working somewhere else. If it was as simple as walking out on the company for its tactics, politics, and so on, we would, but sadly that's not the case for everyone.

We know we are most likely not wanted, but we do the job as we need to pay our bills and eat, and in some cases, there are those who are actually happy to hear from us ... yes, I know how that reads. Here are some simple tips to help both you, the respondent, and us, the interviewer live as amicably as possible.

Unless client supplied, the phone numbers we call are randomly dialed, we will also get pay phones, fax modems, businesses, and even elevator phones. The calls are coded by the interviewer, if we get a "no answer," or residential "answering machine," it will be coded as such, and until someone answers the phone, the computer will just keep calling them back. Trust me, in my own home, if I see a number I don't recognize repeatedly calling me, I forget what I am and am ready to lift up the receiver and yell, also. However, that honestly doesn't get either of us anywhere, not really. The interviewer will be left feeling awful, and you still may end up getting a call from us, which I'll explain why below.

The Do Not Call Registry does not apply to surveys. I wish it did because then maybe this industry would be closer to extinction. It has helped a bit, but not what you or I would like. Saying "I'm Not Interested" is also not the best method of defense as sometimes if the company gets desperate, it will dump all the refusals for us to try again using "refusal busting." Because so many people have cell phones nowadays, Ipsos will find ways around calling them too. So, what can a person do to stop being bothered by at least Ipsos, there is some hope.

Although telling us to take you off our list is supposed to count toward the following, the best way is still to pick up the phone and say: "Please put me on your Do Not Call List." This way may not be as satisfying as yelling out your frustration, but it saves both your time and the interviewers, as the interviewer can quickly code the call as such and both parties be "on their way" without any animosity. In addition, I recommend that you record the time and date, and any other information you may feel as important; that way, if Ipsos should call you again (whether accidental or not)  you then have a greater ability to report on Ipsos. For the record, you are also generally only on the list for six months, however that is still six months of freedom from Ipsos.

Other notes of possible interest: Ipsos now expects the interviewer to go right into the survey, and being polite is no longer the main concern of the company. Illogical, I know, but that is Ipsos. Ipsos is a global corporation that has clients in lots of big places.

On behalf of every interviewer, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our employer may cause you, or any interviewer, for that matter. Thanks for reading, and I hope I've helped you avoid even one less survey than your normally would have.

The Do Not Call Registry does not apply to surveys, unfortunately. Ipsos dials randomly, so unless there is a message (live or recorded) to put you on Ipsos' Do Not Call List, the automatic dialer will continue to call your number.

Although it could have been in India, as Ipsos is a global company, their North American offices are throughout the US and Canada. From my end, north of Fargo, "9" is an access code to dial out before "1". Again, it could be India, I'm not sure.

Sadly, DNC list doesn't apply to telephone market research/ surveys/ polls. The most you can do is get put on their internal do not call list, which apparently is only for six months which you'd have to request to be put o again after that.

It takes a moment for the computer to connect at times, so on the interviewer's end there was probably "no one there," and not an intentional rude hang up. If so, on behalf of my other interviewers, I apologize. The Do Not Call Registry does not apply to telephone market research/ surveys/ polls.

Thank you for taking the time to explain about these calls and the company.

I got this call from IPSOS also and because I am in the marketing and customer satisfaction business, I know them to be a reputable market research company.  I have done paper-and-pencil surveys for them.

IPSOS is NOT a telemarketer; it is a legitimate market research company and it will not try to scam you.  

If you doubt this, please google "IPSOS" and see for yourself.

I am getting unwanted phone calls from 312-775-1287, they last call me on Sunday, 06-02-2013 6:52 p.m. It is annoying to keep get harassed by people that you don't know, didn't give out your number to and this is not the first time that they have called its so far been on the weekend and I never answer the phone I just look at the caller I.D you would think that there's a 3 strike rule after 3 calls no answer, no response, THEN STOP DAMN CALLING.

got a call from this # on 6/18, wanted ti di rather lenghty survey, asked a lot of questions abt health coverage.Definately think it was a SCAM!!!!

I recently moved and got a new number. These numbers are left unused for over a year before being assigned to a new person. No one knows I am at my present number. They are calling numbers at random.

I was called from this number every day for a week. The first call on monday asked if I had time for a survey. I said "no" and hung up. They called and hung up on my answering machine every day at the same time till friday of that week. Never left a message and calls came rather late; 8 pm to 9 pm.
