This number has called my cell 4 times in the last week. They claim to be from the CDC and performing a survey on smoking. Today they called again and I spoke with a real person, who again claimed to be with the CDC, performing a survey. I asked what CDC stands for, and she said "Center for Disease Control". I said that the CDC is a federal agency and calling my cell phone; that is very unusual. Also told her I did not believe she is from the CDC. She said I could opt out of the survey, and I told her I wanted them to stop calling my cell phone. She hung up.
When I Googled the phone number I got FORCS Study at 490 Fleet St in Rockville, MD, but nothing mentioned about the CDC. I wonder why they feel it necessary to misrepresent themselves. I smell a telemarketer scam.
