It's annoying.My family is being harrassed by these people. They call and hang up on you.

These people have called three times and since I don't answer #'s that I don't know they have not left a message. Does anyone know who these people are. Is there anyway to fond out.

they were asked by an insurance company or a body shop to conduct a survey... well, that's what they say when you call the number back.  they've called my phone 4 times & hung up each time when i pick up.  it's kind of frustrating b/c there's no way to contact them to say "STOP CALLING ME!!!" oh well, if someone ever finds out... let me know.

aha...
The phone rings, you pick up, nobody is there.  This is called an abandoned call (in telemarketing lingo).  What they are doing is putting out thousands of calls per minute, and if one of their telemarketing operators is available, they'll pick up on the other end.  Of course, they never are, so your phone rings and nobody is there.

I was around to answer this call and it was a satisfaction survey for Nationwide Insurance.  They asked about the body shop I had my car fixed at.
