Tired of getting these phone calls.  I don't answer, and they never leave a message.

after the young man established I was living alone and not on a cell phone, he hung up! All I can think of is some Ted Bundy collected names as he mops the floor. Made a police report. Glad to find I have a reason for bad dreams last night.

When I call I am greeted by the familiar female voice that many Mass State agencies use. I was a State worker before and recognize the same used voice. It is: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance - an annual survey run by the State.

Unfortunately this is the FCC take on Surveys from their Do Not Call website:

What about telephone surveys?
If the call is really for the sole purpose of conducting a survey, it is not covered. Only telemarketing calls are covered — that is, calls that solicit sales of goods or services. Callers purporting to take a survey, but also offering to sell goods or services, must comply with the National Do Not Call Registry.

Same here. Get calls at least twice a day. They never leave a message. Ridiculous.

They call 4 times per day everyday for weeks. Finally I answered and told them never to call again. He began to argue with me. I politely asked  to never call here . He was rude and refused to honor my wishes. I had to yell at him like he was a child follwed by an abrupt disconnection
