I received many calls from this # and never answered because I didn't recognize the number.  I looked it up and found this site.  I decided I would annoy them the next time they called.  Well, they just did and I answered speaking "****ese" (I do not know ****ese).  I figured that was a language that no one in their office knew (chances too great with spanish).  The girl sounded confused and said she had a wrong number.  I doubt very seriously they'll be calling back. Try it, it just might work!

What you do is this.  Use a FAX software program, especially MightyFax that can be used with your PC to send a fax.  Make sure that you have a 500 page do***ent just in case some idiot turns on the fax to stop your calls.  However, the 800 number isn't going to accept any faxes, so......just set the program to return calls every 15-30 seconds if not answered and keep making calls up to 5000 until fax is completely sent.  In case you didn't know...800 numbers cost them money each time it answers.  You'll put them out of business.  If you do find a fax number for them, well.....send the 500 page fax do***ent...example: Linux for Beginners or the Complete Linux Bible which you can find on the Internet for free.  It will send their paper to the trash or if they have a digital fax, it will overload it and if they subscribe to a service, after 20 pages, they charge for each page.  Just keep sending.  Have fun, guys...Oh, yes...it did work for me on past company's.  Sometimes they will call you and leave a message on your ma****e to stop it or even threaten you.  Well, now you have them, they are now bothering you.  Have I ever gotten hit by them?  NOPE!  They just went away and never got a call a***n from them.  Works every time.

Research Center(858) 384-1160San Diego, CA6:17 pm EST 6/6/08I'm on the internet and this pops up. I have a Call Alert program. They went to voicemail but did not leave a message.If they call back, I'll answer it and have some fun =)I will not hesitate to talk to a lawyer and report them to the BBB.Thank you, internet

Hey everyone! I hate companies like this and after doing a little research I found that this one is a member for the Better Business Bureau. If you go to the BBB website (bbb.org) you can file a complaint about this company and in order to keep their standing in the BBB, they have to address your complaint in a timely and reasonable fashion. The form only takes 5-10 minutes to complete!Good luck getting rid of these turkeys. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

I got this call earlier today.  I told them I'm on the national Do-Not-Call list, to which the guy responded that this call doesn't apply.  I told him that doesn't prevent me from ****ing up on him, though.  A few seconds later the guy actually called me back.  I told him to put me on *their* Do-Not-Call list and he said "We don't have one" in an extremely rude manner and ***g up on me.  I did *69 and called the number back, but it was disconnected.Thank you guys for their 800 number, I called and left a message telling them there are reports of harassing calls from them and that they did it to me as well, so tell their employees to act in a professional manner and stop lying about not having a list.  I somehow doubt they'll do that.I just got this landline for my DSL, I haven't used one in years.  I do plan on using it, but not right now.  I get about 5 calls like this everyday from different companies, including some known iden***y theft scams.

I have received several calls from this number. I have asked each caller to put me on their do not call list only to be ***g up on. The last/most recent caller from that number (caller had female sounding voice) claimed her name was Daniel Rompier and said she was calling from "Marc Research" (I asked her to spell it to confirm it) in San Diego, CA. She would not supply an address (When I said will you give me the address of the company she said no). I Found no listing for a "Marc Research" on the internet when sear****g however when I call the number listed on the Caller ID I get connected to a Directions in Research company out of San Diego, CA. which is, I believe, the actual corporation behind the calls. Daniel claims that she is adding me to their do not call list. If the calls do not stop I am going to contact a lawyer and would advise anyone who is getting as many phone calls from these people as I am to do the same.

I saw this # pop up a bunch of times recently, so I googled it first thing and found this site.  Thanks for all the helpful posts!  I called the (800) 676-5883 number first thing and someone answered on the first ring.  I explained that I found the # on this site and please remove my phone from the calling list.  She said she would...we'll see!

I called Directions In Research directly 5 days this week.  I was promised that my number would be removed.  The last straw was when this San Diego company called me at 10:55 p.m. last night.  I live in Texas, 2 hours ahead.  That is just way too late at night to be calling.  They are doing surveys for medical, health, and many other types.  Apparently Paul Izzo is the Vice President, but he doesn't take calls.I sent emails to all the people's email address listed above.  All we returned as 'permanent delivery failure'.  These are not legitimate email addresses, even though they are listed on their website, hmmmmm.  They sure have a way of harrassment that's apparently legal enough to get away with.It stinks.  I can't afford the extra $15/month to add blocking on my home phone.  I guess they will eventually tire of calling, hopefully. It appears they won't ever stop.

I am sick of them calling - calling at least two or three times daily. Glad to find this site information so I can share with them how I enjoy their calls.

KEEP CALLING DONT SAY ANYTHING CALL THEM BACK KEEP GETTING RECORDING SAYING CLOSED

This San Diego, California call came to Kansas on 5-12-08 @ 20:12 hours Central Daylight. Phone rang one time, then ***g up. Posters on other sites advise belongs to Directions in Research, Inc. 7676 Hazard Center Drive,  suit 1300, San Diego,CA 92108. When interviewd, some foreigner asks medical questions. Unload.

These folks don't check emails... I emailed then on the 3rd asking for my number to be removed from their call list. I received another call on the 6th at 8 PM EDT. I have sent another email.

By the way, trying to find information about this number... I came acrossed the following information:Called the # back - got voicemail stating office closed.  Did a little digging and came up with : Directions In Research, Inc. 7676 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 1300 San Diego, CA 92108 1-800-676-5883.

I recieved a call from this number while at work today. I called back, thinking it was related to some job sear****g my husband and I were doing in Southern California. I get a message saying they are a research company based out of San Diego and are affiliated with the BBB. It also says for further****istance press pound, so I did and it ***g up on me!

I have been called twice from this number. A male s****ed to ask me questions off a list no matter what I said to him.  I just ***g up at that point. They have called the house twice since during the day when I am at work, no voice message left. From the questions I did listen to, they seem to be trying to gather information about the number and age of household members, etc.  I say just let it ring or s**** to ask them a bunch of questions back till they give up and **** up on you.  I like to always ask the person if female if she wants to go out for a drink because I am an old *** offender and can't get dates with normal young gals.  I'm not but it makes them **** up.

I too have been experiencing harrassment from this phone number(858-384-1160. They now call a few times a day and just **** up when I answer.  I went to the website and emailed them to request in writing that they remove us from their call list.  My email was sent back, stating "Send us your email, not your spam".  I called the number listed on the website (800) 676-5883 and spoke with someone claiming to be a supervisor named Amanda Krass.  She was very polite and stated that our number would be removed and appologized for the harassing phone calls.  We will wait and see if this proves to be a resolution to the problem.

continuous calls to my phone and no message left.  take me off of the phone list if possible.

Called the # back - got voicemail stating office closed.  Did a little digging and came up with : Directions In Research, Inc. 7676 Hazard Center Drive, Suite 1300 San Diego, CA 92108 1-800-676-5883.

I am sure, since that's the business they're engaged in, they certainly wouldn't mind if a few of us called them up on their personal lines and asked them some research questions as well.

I called the number back recording said it was a research, survey company, so I ***g up!
