(800) 973-7470

Call from a marketing firm - received a call showing on my caller ID as: 316.530.2793 - my asst thought it was a local call. After being bugged to answer a survey about my business, I call back the number and was referred to an 800 number: 800 973.7470, which is attributed to Discovery Research Group with branches in Las Vegas, Utah and Nevada.

The primary contact is: Discovery Research Group, 6975 Union Park Center, Suite 450, Midvale, Utah 84047.

The owner of the company is:

Vaughn Mordecai
1886 N 900 E
Lehi Utah, 84043
801.768.8109 (I believe is his home number)

You might want to call him to express your concerns about his telemarketers calling you. Mr. Mordecai authored a blog on his website that addressed calling from 'local' numbers. Apparently the phone service his company uses will give them local number cover, so that they can appear to be a local caller - thus garnering better success in getting their calls answered. Very interesting tricks they use!

Called asking about my mobile provider and started to ask me questions about my household income and insurance. I dont know who these people are .

DO NOT CALL POLICY STATEMENT

Discovery Research Group welcomes state and national legislation that limits aggravating sales calls. We feel that over time this legislation will help citizens better understand the difference between sales calls and legitimate research calls, and that the end result will be higher participation rates and higher data quality for all researchers. Sometimes respondents confuse legitimate research companies with telemarketers and think that National Do Not Call legislation applies to all companies equally.
If you have received a phone call from DRG, please be assured we are not contacting you for a sales call of any kind. Our calls were made simply to invite your household to participate in a research study. Almost 72 million Americans per year are interviewed in research studies. This is your opportunity to be heard regarding the products and services you use.
As a research organization, Discovery Research Group is not required to cross-compare any of our project specific phone lists against the National Do Not Call Registry, but we do maintain our own internal do not call list. We do this as a good business practice to avoid aggravating or frustrating any household who does not want to participate in research calls.
If you are opposed to participating in research studies, please simply use either of the following options to be removed from all current projects and placed on DRG’s do not call list:
• Email info@drgutah.com. Please include Do Not Call Request in the subject line and list any phone numbers you would like us to remove.
• Call 1-800-678-3748 x 2136 or x 2110. If a voicemail answers, simply leave any phone numbers you would like removed in your message and we will quickly process the information for removal.
Taking either of the above actions will result in no additional phone calls. It is important to note that in order to fully comply; we will need all phone numbers you would like us to remove. We will remov

The calling company is Discovery Research Group, 6975 Union Park Center, Suite 450, Midvale, Utah 84047. Their published number is 800.678.3748 toll-free. They arrogantly insist they are not telemarketers, but researchers, and basically thumb their nose at the do not call list. If I find a successful way to eliminate their calls or perhaps fine them for their annoying calls, I will post it. For now, I might suggest sending them a registered letter telling them not to call, that future calls will be invoiced at $500 each. Might get their attention. Or you could just return the favor for their calls with return calls to their 800 number, asking if they have placed your phone on an internal do not call list. That also might get their attention.
