They called twice last night, second time at 9:27 p.m., which is past the 9:00 p.m. cutoff telemarketers are supposed to observe.  I didn't answer. I think they are also calling from 954-516-6813, a number that called me this afternoon. Didn't answer that one either.

Called twice yesterday, at 5:35pm and 6:58pm USING THIS NUMBER. Diverted by a service I subscribe to that intercepts robo-dialed calls (rhymes with SoNoHobo). I called back (*67) and got a prerecorded message, "This is CMI Research. We are a strictly political organization and are not trying to sell you anything. If you would like to be placed on our Do Not Call list...."

I Googled "CMI Research" and they are identified as being in metro Atlanta, Perimeter Mall area, so the use of the 954 Area Code PLUS not having that name in their caller I.D. made me suspicious. (Not that I would EVER] tell ANY of these cold callers my number for supposed DNC purposes). When I looked at the Google results, one person had made a note like Good luck ever getting paid with these people. Needless to say, my suspicions were even more enhanced.

When I got the same pattern of calls tonight — not just two but three attempts — AND from a different number (last digit being 3 instead of 8). I thought it worthwhile reporting all of this here. I'm going to copy and paste it on the page for today's number. BTW, using two different numbers is even greater reason to suspect some chicanery and dishonesty.
