Called asked for person by name .. says they're Tobin research ? Said calling to take survey about things going on locally .. not thst i believe that.. told them they could speak with me that theyd never talk to who they were calling for .. me or take number off the list and never call back .. they hung up... havent had many scam calls in several months .. IF they call back i'll play then blow **** whistle in theyre ear as i did warn them.

I would receive this phone number 8479168917 on my landline at home for the past month. They are calling mostly during the day time. The caller ID does not list who is calling other than the phone number. The caller would always hang up and not leave a voice message. I do not know how this person got my unlisted phone number. Maybe it is a telemarketer, even though my unlisted phone number is on the Do Not Call list.
