Don’t get fed up… Take action like FrED UP! Here's what you need to know: Caller Organization: SSI General Details: Telemarketing organization, specializing in survey & data collection. Website: http://www.surveysampling.com/en Company Bio as Self-Described at Company Website is: "SSI is the only provider to offer sampling and data collection through every mode: face-to-face interview, postal or landline phones, mobile phones, and online via tablets and smartphones. We’re constantly driving the use of new technologies to reach respondents where they live, work and shop. No matter the mode or ****od, we have a team of dedicated experts who are passionate about delivering the best quality results for your next project." Location of Phone Number: Brighton, CO Why will consumers receive calls from this organization despite being on the "National No-Call List"?: This company has found & utilizes loop holes in consumer protection laws & side steps the law to conduct its business. Here's a sampling of content provided by the company on why they can break the law: 1. I'm on the Do Not Call list so why did you call me? The US Federal Do Not Call List and the Ca***ian Do Not Call List apply to telemarketers, telemarketing, and sellers or promoters of goods and services. SSI only conducts legitimate marketing, survey, and opinion research and is therefore excluded from coverage. What action can you take to prevent this caller from calling you: The below are steps that the consumer can take to stop calls from this organization. I would recommend performing both, which will take only a few minutes from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. 1. Place your phone number on the National No Call List at http://www.donotcall.gov/ or by calling toll-free 1-888-382-1222. 2. Contact company directly via their website & complete process for removing your phone number from their call list at [email protected] or by calling 1-866-360-9563 from within North America or 1-801-379-4094 outside North America. How long can expect before the calls stop?: Possibly never, as companies like this rely on access to consumers to conduct business, therefore will likely always find ways around the law. Despite this, this organization offers the following information on their opt-out call program; "It will take up to 5 business days to process and remove your number from all active survey research projects." Why sign-up for the "National No-Call List" if this does not guarantee that this organization will stop calling me?: This is the first step to preventing unsolicited calls such as these & do***ents officially that you are taking action to remove your phone number from call lists. Future legal standing may be based on official do***ented actions by the consumer, as it is not enough to just wish the calls would stop. What should Cell Phone users know about telemarketing restrictions: The US CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) for delivery restrictions as outlined in 47 CFR 64.1200 – Delivery Restriction states the following: (a) No person or en***y may: (1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, initiate any telephone call (other than a call made for emergency purposes or is made with the prior express consent of the called party) using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice; (iii) To any telephone number****igned to a paging service, cellular telephone service, specialized mobile radio service, or other radio common carrier service, or any service for which the called party is charged for the call. (2) Initiate, or cause to be initiated, any telephone call that includes or introduces an adverti*****t or cons***utes telemarketing, using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, to any of the lines or telephone numbers described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section, other than a call made with the prior express written consent of the called party or the prior express consent of the called party when the call is made by or on behalf of a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, or a call that delivers a “health care” message made by, or on behalf of, a “covered en***y” or its “business****ociate,” as those terms are defined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, 45 CFR 160.103. What does this mean to the layman?: Cell phones are off-limits, but there are exceptions. Regardless, companies will always defer to the unintentional mistake clause.
