This Numeris number has been calling me every day, two times a day for the last two weeks, and when I pick up the phone no one answers on the other end. I have consistently tried to block the number so I won’t be called repetitively again, and again, but I keep getting phone calls from them nonstop with nobody talking on the other end of the phone. **** ***** **** *********** ****** *** ***** *** *** ******** ** ** **** ** ** *****Business Response

We do apologize for being hung up on and for the difficulty you described in getting removed from our survey. We are sorry that this happened.
If you provide your telephone number - the telephone number at which we called, we can have it immediately removed from our calling system and added to our Do Not Call List.
We would also be able to do the appropriate follow up with the employee(s) with whom you spoke, to ensure it does not happen again.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
There were six calls from Numeris. I asked each of the callers to put me on the DO NOT CALL LIST. Obviously they did not do this as the calls kept coming daily. They called twice on Sunday. Each time I said don't call me anymore, so the company's assertion that all I had to do was tell the interviewer I did not want to participate or be repeatedly called every day for five days in a row is incorrect. I did ask six times and the calls continued. * ***** **** *** *** ***** **** **** ******* ***** ** ******** ***** **** **** *** *****
