A number came up 415 562-3260 "J. Walker". I answer Hey Jack, thinking it was the person calling me. It was 9:02pm est. (A she answered) and said no,,??... I am doing a research call on music? cutting it short she tells me they are using a number generating to make phone calls?! Ok, that is it, I push further.<BR/>I asked them for the supervisor number which she gave me 888-225-9898 I called it and a Dustin or Justin answer the phone after asking for a supervisor at that number. I ask him do you understand that I am on a do not call registry! He replied in a real smart a-- comment, "Excuse me, but You have to understand, please tell me where it says research call are applied to the do not call registry?"<BR/>Now I am all ready mad enough and said but NOT after 9 at night. So then he got real smart a-- and said, "there is nothing in the do not call registry that says we can not call you for research after 9 at night!"<BR/>He went on about how well known they are as a company and BIG companies pay them to make research calls, So I ask him what big companies, like BMG..., he is quick to change his tone of voice and he tells me its all on his website. http://www.acsgonline.com "American Customer Satisfaction Group" or "ACSG"<BR/>So I said I already looked at that site and so tell me who pays you to call. He then says I cant tell you that look it up online!<BR/>So I said well take it Like I am calling you to do some research and would like you to answer my survey. Then he says but isn't it against the law to call after 9pm. I said well you told me it not, so please answer my research survey, then he did the old smart a-- comment good bye, & hung up on me.<BR/>I reported both numbers and a comment to the FTC about this company and this Justin or Dustin's comment about being above the Government law.<BR/>Also any big company purchasing this companies services, just think after the public call and people get a bad taste in their mouth with said such bad telemarketers, breaking the law.<BR/><BR/>I just thought the public should know that this company believes they have every right to call you way after 8 or 9 at night and border line of laughing in you face because you are mad.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390563299581237814noreply@blogger.com
