Hmm ... I've received 3 different calls, with Caller ID saying 'Gallup Poll.' However, I think this is bogus. Person answering phone said he was from Wells Fargo, not Gallup, and when I asked to be taken off phone list, he said he didn't have to, and wasn't going to. Gee, that's pretty unfriendly - and downright aggravating. I've asked not to be called, because I consider it harassment & an invasion of the privacy of my home, but whoever this is, continues to harass us.
So ... I don't think this is legit number, or company.
And I've been thinking about some of the 'positive' comments posted on other sites - I'm quite skeptical that these are legit as well. Think about it - who would take the time to look up a number, and post a positive review, unless they were an employee or other agent/rep? I certainly wouldn't. Why would I? It takes a number of 'bad' calls to get me to look up a number. So, unlikely that any 'positive' comments are anything but furtherance of harassment/fraud.
And I don't buy the 'gee, I'm just doing my job.' Plenty of telemarketers, sex traders, polluters, scam artists, etc. are 'just doing their job' as well. Just because you are being paid for work doesn't mean you should be doing that job. And just because you are doing a job doesn't give you license to harass people in their homes. If I ask you to put me on your own internal 'do not call' list, please do so. Quit claiming that because you don't 'have' to, you shouldn't.
And for what its worth, I have degrees in political science and math, and these so-called 'polls' are at best suspect, and at worst are 'push' polls, that bias answers from the get-go -- not objective, or scientifically valid in the first place.
Just say no to these calls.
They had called my cell asking for my husband about a recent trip to our bank. They wanted to conduct a survey. And they said they would call back. I just not googled the number and found this.
Was called yesterday by this number, said they were a 'Gallop Poll'. I in no uncertain terms told them that I had not asked for them to call me and that I do not want them to call me again...
Very strong American accent came over the phone from the lady that was calling, but it almost sounded like an automated message, until I spoke to her!
I received numerous calls from this number; they don't leave messages and when I responded, they hang up.
Call my cell phone daily for the wrong person
