Pretending to be a national research firm. ID says SSI. some kind of scam.
Didn’t answer never left a message
Call comes in with this number in caller ID- Lady had an accent- asks for Adminstrative Asst. I ask what the calli is regarding and she gives me her spiel abut being a merketing research company and bla bla bla- they just want to ask a "few questions" I tell her NO that we are not interested and that we dont do "surveys" or answer "questions from random companies" She goes on to ask "well dont you just want to try?" i answer firmly NO- and hang up the phone. I am nearly positive this is a spoofed number and that this call did not come in from a local number despite their caller ID- which makes me MORE suspicious of their actions.

Calls, does not say anything when I answer. I blocked the number multiple times. Each time they change or spoof another local number and leave no messages. Called again today. It was a woman with a foreign accent wanting to ask questions. Hung up and blocked this number as well. So much for being on the do not call registry.
