Must be tough to live life so cynical, Slim.  What you call "a complaint forum"--must be you enjoy complaining since you're on it--I prefer to think of as a legitimate website where we can check out unknown phone numbers to see if they are real or not.  I'm sure 800 NOTES thinks of themselves that way, too.  Also, shame on you for making an assumption I'm on a Do Not Call list. Now obviously, I could care less if you don't believe me. I have $100 you don't.  I'm wrote my post so good people can read it and know they are hearing from a legitimate firm, called Opinion Search, and can actually make some money if they would like to participate. I feel no need to explain myself to YOU, but for those people who want to know the truth in how this all came about, Opinion Research got my number from my car dealership, as they wanted people with my type of car for their market research study.  Took 90 minutes, it was a fun experience, and I walked out of there with $100 in my pocket.  You ought to give it a try!  Might make you a more happy person!
