I was informed by a friend these calls are from someone like a tele-marketing type firm that are calling on behalf of the police. When I first received this type of call, I thought they were from an actually policeman

Sunday morning, (Father's Day), I received a call similar to this where the person did not identify themselves but launch into their presentation without a chance to respond in kind. I blieve she was performing a research study and said they were not trying to sell anything.

I informed them I did not have the time as I was going out and hung -up. I think it's rude for anyone that wants to take up your time and energy without asking if your okay with their proposal. At least I listened for a short while before I gave a reason for not wanting to do their survey. They never called back, thank goodness. This call annoyed me.

Recently renewed my "donotcall" listing and it should take effect in July.

My understanding is that unless you are doing business with a company, they do not have the right to call you, (tele-marketing firms should be exclude with the donotcall listing). However, my credit card company keeps calling trying to add services that I did not request or want.

Unfortunately, I never asked the phone company for a unlisted number.
Thank goodness for the caller display function and voicemail.
