Anonymous call from 801-437-3150 - What to do?

I called the 801 373 7735 number and used option 2. I got a voicemail for a Julie. So I file complaints with both the FTC and the BBB. They keep calling and insist on overcoming my objections to taking the survey.

I keep getting calls from them but no one says anything and after a few seconds of silence they hang up.

I just started getting these calls to my home phone.(not a cell) These people are persistent. I never answer the phone. Just started about a week ago.

Botch, did you confirm the purpose behind these calls? It might be a collection calls for one of your past debts. If you are not able to get this verified, use this complaint form below and report the phone number you are getting. I bet they need to be taught a lesson by the legal people. Alert the legal authorities to investigate on this company.

Jessi that sounds like something my uncle would do. I love the answers and think I just might do this next time.

What I have found very fun is to get the name of the company and find out where the main office is located. Find out who the employees are and look up their home numbers online and call them at night. Ask them (while they are at home) and ask what companies are funding the surveys.

this number called me i tracked it to westernwats i called 801-373-7735 to get my name off there calling list.

Just had a missed call from this number on my mobile. Which is funny, because it's an Irish number - what would I be wanting to buy from Utah?

I just got one of these Private Calls from 801-437-3150.........I told em to die...and then blocked them !

How about just answering and leave the phone hanging...don't say a word. Let them pay for your time. :roll:

I got a call on my cell phone from them, no clue how they got an unlisted number and I filed a complaint.

I completed this survey 6/01/07 (the person on other end made it clear that this was no telemarketing or for to sell something.) The survey lasts 30 minutes (is very long). Surveyor and supervisor though are polite. The survey content is politically oriented (seems to be Republican sponsored). I wanted access to the results (an ethical requirement in all human subject research). Their supervisor said that the results would appear in "leading magazines"--their company had not authorized any further comments about this. Advice: don't do this survey. They want too personal of information about you.

Received a call from a rearch company regarding my bank. Asked if I would take this survey. I said No

I know my bank does not conduct this type of survey.

This number calls my phone (and I am 216 area code living in 619)... randomly- at 7 a.m. in CA because their computers think it is 10 a.m. in the area code they called.

I say sue them! Start an online petition.

I just got a call from them, i redialed and they said their company name was Western Watts Surveying. (If I take the survey, I could be helping businesses, mobile providers, and politicians! lol

Surveys for political purposes and research surveys are protected free speech, and not subject to the Do Not Call List, nor do they have to stop calling when you ask.

Been tested all the way up to the Supreme court - they have a legal right to call, just as you have a legal right to hang up on them.

I have registered do not call list. Like JJ said this number 801-437-3150 is exempt from the do not call list and called me several times. I am gonna close my washington mutual bank account. If a lot of companies do these things, we will have a lot of headaches. Damn stupid government, always taxes but not provide good service.

For some reason, they always seemed to be calling right when I was having s** with my girlfriend!

They called me a few days ago and I was not comfortable with giving out info about my banking over the phone like that. They have tried calling three times since then. They just called a few moments ago (after 11 pm EST) and I picked up to find out why in the world they were calling so late. It seemed goofy to me because the lady seemed to be using a phony voice. She said that they wanted to get a better representation of different areas at different times. I told her it was ridiculous and she hung up.

So much for the DNC list. Stupid surveys...pathetic!

This company, Western Wats, called us 3 times today. By the way, it's Sunday. They claimed to represent a company we do business with asking personel questions. After I hung up on them I asked the company they claimed to be working for about western wats. Guess what, never heard of them. Tomorrow I'll call the state Attorney General of Utah and register a complaint of attempted identity theft. I'm sure nothing will happen but I have to try anyways. God Bless.

They are calling my cell phone number. I dont answer it but its freaking annoying. I get 5-6 calls from them a day

we got a call from this number tonight, no messages. we're outside LA. I called it back after seeing this page searching reverse lookup. All circuits busy.

I got a call from this number and could barely make out anything the woman was saying due to her heavy accent and then a horrible echo or the fact that she might have been calling from a room full of other people making calls. When I said I could not hear her clearly she got verbally abusive. I hung up at once only to receive 4 more calls within a half hour from the same number. She said I was rude for hanging up but I continued to do it. It's been quiet for the last fifteen minutes

If you prefer not to be contacted, please email us at optout(at)westernwats.com to be placed on our internal no-contact list. For clarity, the federal do not call list prevents telemarketers from calling registered phone numbers. Western Wats is not a telemarketing firm. The purpose of our telephone calls is not to sell but instead collect your opinions.

801-437-3150 is t-mobile, but I have also gotten a few calls from different 801 numbers who do not answer/identify themselves when I pick up.

They simply want to harass you.....so do not give them a chance to do so. So, next time you see a call from this number do not pick up the phone.

Take care
Nelly

i got the same callers that won't leave me alone.
I'm only 15!!
Carrie: thx for the info if they call again i'll show that to my mom

kkid, I suggest that you let your mom know what's going on..There is no reason for you to be getting these calls at all.

We have been getting calls from this number this week (10/24/07). They say they are taking a survey about politics in Philadelphia, PA. Boy, could I give them an earful!

Since they wouldn't tell me where they were from or who they were doing the survey for I told them that they would likewise get no info from me.

I will also send a complaint somewhere, I guess the FTC and BBB....thanks for the info

They called me and said they were from "American Viewpoint" and wanted to do a survey of a male member of the household. I told them to get bent. I was feeling nice that day.

My voice mail picked up the call. Caller ID said "Western Wats Ct" and the lady left a message "Yes, may I speak to someone 40 years old or older?" When she got no response, she hung up. Stupid telemarketers!

They claim to have added me to the do not call list. I have also filed a police report for harassing phone calls.

I have been getting calls from 305-716-6807 & 801-437-3150. Both phone numbers are associated with Synovate, Inc. Even though I am on the national Do-not-call list, this company continues to call me, several times per day.

You can e-mail them at optout(at)westernwats.com and tell them NOT to call anymore!

I have filed a claim with the BBB, hope this helps get rid of them.

I have no idea what they are talking about and they continue to make threats and say that they. Do not have to provide me with anything. I am contacting the BBB

Synovate is a market research company. If you have taken one of their surveys, they are calling to follow up because they do not sell anything. They are a legit company. I have completed a few of the product tests; They have sent me two medium size bags of dog food, Gucci cologne, and various bath and body products (all full size) to see what I think of the product. It is worth the annoyance to be able to test products that are not out yet, plus it is all free!!

Yea i got a call from that number. So i reported it to the do not call list that i have been on. Guess what happened, got called three more times from that number. so i reported it again each time, and now...i just got another call from that number. I'm starting to think the do not call registry is run by telemarkters!

801-437-3150 is from Provo Utal and a clec (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier)

I get this call as late as 9:45 PM id as "Private Caller". Isn't there some trick to knocking yourself off their list? Answer, hang up & *8? sumthing? Or a way to block the # all together?

They are not allowed to call you after 9PM in your time zone. Opt out as the previous poster suggested. If they continue you can file suit against them for $1,000 per call. You can also keep from getting unsolicited phone calls by registering your phone at donotcall.gov

I received a call from that number earlier today. No message and I certainly don't know anyone there.

I work for a company that does phone surveys, so when they called I thought I'd do the survey just to be nice and to help the lady get a complete survey. Anyway, she asked my age and I told her I was 18, and then she asked if anyone in my family worked for an ad agency. I asked her to hold on a second because I was not positive if my dad's work was considered an ad agency or not. I got back on the line and she was blabbing away about calling me back later and hung up before I could say anything. Pretty freaking rude and lame, so I think I am going to call this number a few times blocked and bug their receptionists or supervisors, who ever answers the phones.

believe me when i say this if you get that call from 801-437-3150 do no even bother answering any questions... it's a yes/no survey then more detailed answers... which if your dumb they 'll steal your idenity.... So Beware!
