If anybody is following this thread they changed the number they are forging. Here is the new thread ...

whocalled.us

I have received many, many calls from this number. It starts with "survey 20" "Do you own a small dog". Now I am receiving exact same calls from a cell phone.(571 214 5430). This time it is "Survey 21" and the same question follows. I sure like to know who is behind this. Do not try to call back. It just does not work. I am most annoyed and plan to report this to the Attorney Genaral's office. It is, indeed, a form of harassment.

360.net reports that the phone number 208-758-0218 is inactive and that the annoying calls are spoofing that number, meaning the calls originate from somewhere else. Only the local phone company doing a back trace can identify the origin of the calls.

Audrey: If you insist on worrying over your name and contact data being traded and sold, your first stop is the Direct Marketing Association, which upon request does a fairly good job of scrubbing names from a majority of lists.

I believe I have suggested from the start this is _not_ a legit survey, nor are these calls conducted like one. It can't be about marketing either, pet-related or not. Where is the pitch language? Where is the call to action? Disconnecting after one stupid question is not salesmanship. I maintain the calls are cold and blind, with the aim of creating a list of targets for .... well, fraud as yet undefined.

Dan: Yes, yes, DNC exempts certain categories of calls, we know this. But legal by statute is not the same as legal in intent. The FTC absolutely needs to hear about this, which smells like another example of the loophole jumping trend of covert sales and fraud. If you follow the discussions of push polls, sham charities, InfoCision, and Monitronics on this site and elsewhere, you find growing examples of abuse of those FTC exemptions.

You might want to follow the Dove Foundation story mentioned in that Wikipedia entry you linked. That bunch drove people crazy a few years ago, and possibly set the standard for the legal circumventions we have seen since from call centers with a pure profit agenda.

Like others, I received a call from (208) 758-0218 about 10 days ago. Today, I got a call from Wireless Caller (517) 214-5430. Gather it's the same scammers. I didn't pick up, and the caller has hung up when Human doesn't answer. I filed a complaint on this caller because the volume of calls on (208) 758-0218 is 236 tonight (on this site alone!) within approximately two weeks. There are also now 40+ from this wireless caller in 2 days. If there is indeed the potential fraud involved, I hope anyone who has experienced such has reported it to complaints.donotcall.gov given . Creepy.

Asked if we have a small dog

Have been getting calls from this number the last several weeks. Very disturbing.

I got the dog call this morning, hung up without answering. Those who are pestering the FCC or the Do Not call enforcers should stop wasting their time. We are all bothered by these calls, but the Do Not Call laws don't prohibit surveys or polls. This includes other data, which could be used for marketing, as well as the political polls. People can Google (don't Bing) and read the wiki article or others about the law. The fact that the question spooks small dog owners and people find it suspicious really doesn't make it unlawful.
There is really no way to stop this, but if we let the machine screen calls whenever possible and hang up when we have to answer this will ensure we don't get put on a list of people who answer calls.
Longer term there needs to be more laws that prohibit auto-dialers, caller ID forging etc. They won't stop, they are making money doing it.

Here is the wiki article ...

en.wikipedia.org

Resident47: I don't think it's necessarily a pollster but I think someone has gotten hold of a list that we are all on (our pet insurance or our food orders or medicines?)-- what can be done with such a list, I have no clue...i think more of a scam than a prankster or pollster, but we need to get to who sells those lists and to whom. I don't know how/which authorities would handle, though those whose numbers are implicated (Mike, Melissa) will likely take care of. But if it were me, I would be investigating the source of those lists and from where they may be stolen.

The heck with digital phones. Lets go back to the analog land lines. This crap never happened on the old phone system. Like I always say, If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

I received several calls on August 27 at 2:50 P.M. and Aug 28, 2010,Sunday at 8:20 P.M. saying "dawg" and then hanging up; the caller id is coeur d alen 208 758 0218.

" it's not random, we are all on some list together or how else would the caller know there was a small dog in the house ..."

Audrey: This is the much-repeated transcript of the call: "This is survey twenty-ten. Do you own a small dog?"

Firstly, a true pollster does not ask for data already known, much less fail to self-identify and disconnect after a single question. Second, since the caller is reported to have an artificial voice, it may be reasonable to assume a machine is dialing as well, a machine which may not require a defined and targeted list of purchased phone numbers. No, I'm more likely to believe a target list is being built _based on responses_ the caller generates. The whole thing could be automated.

On that note, I'm sorry I missed Amy's comment in this thread from a week ago, which makes the first glimmer of sense, much as it sounds like urban myth.

From another post:
Someone called me in Chicago using this number. All I got was "dowg"... which I thought might have even been an obscene phone call. Now I see others get a refers to "small dogs under 25 lb." So at least they were not calling me "dowg." When you call them back the phone does not ring. I have even an RCN operator try without success. At least I have company because there is a long list of complaints. Is there a way of blocking or removing their right to remain unreachable by people they have irritated?

One thing this survey can conclude ... you don't mess around when it comes to people's dogs

No message

In response to resident 47, it's not random, we are all on some list together or how else would the caller know there was a small dog in the house--the sheer volume makes a prankster unlikely...

Pestered101, Where did you get this information from? Again I am stating I AM not making this calls but I would like to call these companies that are saying that this phone number is linked to me.

Why hasn't the FCC done anything?

Also to let you know 208 is an Idaho area code but the 758 is a prefix used by Washington not Idaho, not sure how this scammer is doing this but very annoying. I hope no else gets their number spoofed like this.

There are a LOT of comments about this one-line "small dog" survey filed in the past two weeks, even in forums not devoted to tracking mystery callers. Thus far I don't see anyone confirming a true identity or agenda for this caller. I am unconvinced it's Ms. Wilson or Mr. Chase behind the racket. The former's locale looks like a residential area, and the latter apparently runs a small business service shop, with fewer than five employees, bearing an unfortunately vague name. I don't see what they would gain from a nationwide phone spam barrage.

The concept of a one-question survey is ludicrous given the effort needed to find cooperative respondents. By all accounts the caller gives no useful identification, which should immediately concern the wary recipient. Furthermore, what legitimate surveyor polling the general public would use a "l33t speak" business name?

To answer "TX Complains" from the other day, yes, phone numbers are spoofed every day. The goon generating these "small dog" calls could in theory be in any state or overseas and hide behind a borrowed business name and number, say in a part of Idaho no one would suspect or know of, which just happen to suit his purpose. Two scenarios are likely here:

A] A very bored prankster using cheap VOIP or Daddy's phone plan to ask the same inane question of random citizens

B] A very devious criminal collecting recordings of responses to an innocuous (yet still inane) question to be later used against responders in a fraudulent billing scheme. Thus, months later ... "But your honor, I never agreed to this service or any payment plan." ... "Your honor, we will now play a recording of the defendant accepting the service contract ..."

Also if there is anyone that can help give me any information on this scam that will please let me know.

This is Melissa Wilson/McGee and I am NOT associated with the scam or phone number what so ever, I am calling my phone company and local police regarding this. I do not know how this phone number became associated with my home phone or address. I appreciate the caller who called me and let me know of this going on.

I am sympathetic to Mr. Chase. The recipeints of the call are random. Some own dogs. Some do not. If you really want to know whose phone number it is, there are many reputable companies who can tell you for a small fee. As one who has also been annoyed by this caller and has been frustrated with everyone on these blogs spinning their wheels, I went ahead and paid the five bucks to two different companies, Intellius and US Search. They each gave me the same information: The subscriber to 208-758-0218 is Melissa McGee, 2017 Alder Avenue, Lewiston, Idaho. Any free reverse address website will reveal that this address belongs to Melissa and Derek Wilson, home phone (208) 746-5522. My guess (and this time I am just guessing) is that Melissa Wilson and Melissa McGee are the same person. So, if you are going to call someone, call this person, and leave Mr. Chase alone.

Mike Chase, You own a database company, we own small dogs and are connected by some list. So, if you're not responsible, who else could get your lists?

Electronic voice asking "Do you own a small dog?" - received several calls.

Is Trupanion the connection?

Very annoying. We get message, "Do you have a small dog?", on our answering machine every day. Unable to Call Block this number.

"message 2010 Do you own a small dog?" (recorded male voice). Several calls over the last few days.

READ & HEED
Know that if you call to harass you are committing a felony. Got it?
Your information is being recorded.
I suggest you:
Call your state attorney general’s office to report the calls
Trace the phone call through your phone company – check with them – here it is *57
Place a block on the offending number – again check with your phone company

You call to harass me – you will be prosecuted.
Got it?

REPOST:

This is Mike Chase of Database Marketing Inc.

Please be advised that we have absolutely no connection whatsoever with any telemarketing firm or telemarketing activities The perpetrator of this vicious hoax, known as “internet spam hunter” will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of criminal and civil law for his malicious harassment, defamation, libel, incitement and terror threats.

Any person or company aiding, abetting or otherwise participating in the furtherance of this unlawful activity will also be subject to available legal remedies. That participation includes calling any of the numbers provided by “internet spam hunter” with the intention of harassment.

Please exercise common sense regarding acting on anonymous internet postings. It is very simple to CHECK FOR YOURSELF who a particular number is assigned to on any number of legitimate websites. Such an effort would have revealed there is absolutely no connection between Database Marketing Inc and the telemarketing number left on your phone.

Do not be a party to this unlawful activity.

Thank you.
Mike Chase
Database Marketing Inc.

We get the same calls every day. Sadly, our small dog was diagnosed with cancer two weeks ago and is probably going to be euthanised this week. It will be just wonderful to have an automated telemarketer to rip the wounds open every day once our pet is gone. Thanks, P30PlE RSPNZ. You're wonderful!

why do people think that I need too harass them?

This number belongs to Database Marketing owned by one Mike Chase in Coeur d Alene ID 83816...Telephone 208 667 6887. Give a call and tell them what you think of them...AND make damn sure to file a compliant with the do not call registry

"This is survey 2010. Do you own a small dog?"

It's Saturday, 4:30p. This was the third call since my last posting. This time I answered, and yes, it was the recorded male voice saying "This is survey 2010. Do you own a small dog?" I tried my own suggestion and answered, "The pearl is in the river." The recording said, "Please answer yes or no." I repeated, "The pearl is in the river." The recording said, "Paid for by..." I think he said Survey America, but then followed it with "208-758-0218", which sounded like the "fine print" disclaimers at the end of commercials. Perhaps if we all answer this way, we can blow their minds.
And my thanks to the movie "Under The Rainbow"

Intelius reports that this number is owned by Melissa Mcgee @ 2017 Alder Ave, Lewiston, Idaho. The phone number associated with that address through WhitePages.com is 208-746-5522, subscribed to by Melissa and Derek Wilson.

We got calls from these people on 8-24 at 10:09 am, 8-25 at 11:00 am and 8-26 at 7:40 pm. The recording started off asking if we had a little dog and we just hung up, once we didn't answer and no message was left, the last time my husband answered and hung up as I picked up and heard them leaving their number. We called several times and the mailbox was full, today it just says the call didn't go through

Judging by the threatening language of poster Mike Chase, the likelihood of him being involved in this is high. If his company markets databases for calls, he is part of the problem. Why would it be okay for his company to enable phone marketers, but for him to have an problem with a few people calling him? One phone call is not illegal, but the repeated calls from these companies is harassment.

We've received two calls from this number in the past three days. They're asking if we have a small dog and nothing else. It's unnerving - are they checking out our potential for being robbed?

If you want to file a BBB complaint, their area code and prefix refers to Lewiston Idaho, if you have the city and state BBB will accept a complaint.

add me to the list. If someone figures out a way to prevent these calls, let me know. Thanks

20100827 12h16 ET 16h16 UTC

An automated message asked if I owned a small dog. Never signed up for these surveys...hope I get a couple of bucks from DNC.

Makes me nervous when I get calls about my animals.

Received calls from this number each of the past three days. Machine picks up; beginning of message is cut off so that all I hear are the words "small dog." Then it hangs up. P30PLE RSPNZ on the caller ID.

Seriously, if I could beat these people with a blunt instrument, I would.

Actually answered this one. Got the "Dog Survey" but hung up. Reported to DNC.

Annoying ... calls a couple of times a day with no message.

"Do you own a small dog?"

P3OPLE RSPNZ

This dog palce calls at least three times a day and just hangs up.

Asked about a dog, damn freaks.

Freaking Pet Survey

If the sender is monitoring I hope they will notice that harassment does not allow them to duck behind the survey protection.

Very scary..a robotic voice asked if we had a small dog and clicked right after my response.

This bunch has called 6 times since the 21st trying to catch someone who will answer. My voice mail caught a hang-up once. They always call between 10:00 and 7:45 so far. When I called the number it said the mail box was full. Your email address can be spoofed but can a phone number be spoofed? Can these people be targeting people on Facebook group lists. I never received this call until I liked some of the Dog Groups! I now longer have any dogs either. I still don't answer the calls. That Chase guy might have got caught with his pants down and is now trying to lie his way out of it. I am on the DNC list also and keep complaining to the FTC. I filed complaints with the FCC about other callers previously and they sent me two letters saying those call were not illegal. I have seen nothing from the FTC.

There was a recording that said: "Do you have a dog"?
I hung up

Robo-call. A male voice asks "Do you own a small dog ?" When I responded with "Hello ?" three times, it disconnected.

calls incessantly

i got this call too, what's the deal. should i be concerned???

I got the dog call a couple of days ago, and got another call asking other opinions later. I always let the answering machine get it, so I just listened in. A couple of things can be happening. Remember that the very fact that a live person answers a call from such a number at 7:45 PM (or whatever) is its self data that can be sold to other telemarketers and fund raisers. Also, many survey orgs these days are fake, some aren't legit survey takers, they are trying to get your opinion on a list that can be sold to the real fundraisers/telemarketers.
Since they will no doubt claim to be a legit survey org, they will be exempt from National Do-Not-Call laws. I'm afraid the only thing to do is to never answer, and absolutely never ever give them any data or opinion on anything whatsoever. Always try to screen all calls, and only pick up for a "friendly" caller.

we got phone call from 208-758-0218. Call went to answering machine, no message was left. this is the 2nd phone call we get from that number. The first was on 8/23/2010

Called me 7:42pm 08-24-2010.Does someone know somebody with the phone company or police detective that could trace-back the call and find out who this is? This is not going to stop untill we find out! If you feel threatened/frightened you can make police report or have phone company investigate for harassment. I am and hope to find out soon. The first to get an answer as to who this jerk is...please let us all know!

Mudponys: You might think he would stop but it may not be possible if this automated call is on behalf of a client, which pays a commission to have these calls made. Again, I ask Mr Chase to identify where this number originates from. He claims it to be so easy to identify the source. Well Mr Chase, we're waiting. Please enlighten us.

I keep receiving calls from this number and it's frustrating me to no end that we can't stop it from happening. That being said... I've read the posts and I'm not sure the information that has been provided re: Mike Chase being the "owner" of this information is accurate. Perhaps this Mike Chase person I spoke with is not being honest, but wouldn't you think that if he were the one connected with these calls that he would have stopped them b/c he's getting a lot calls to his personal home. I'm sure he would have stopped it if he were able to. He said that it's a hoax or something. Regardless, this Mike Chase better change his number b/c there's a lot of pissed off people out there!

P30PLE RSPNZ called 4 times in a row!

Several calls over the past 3 days. We never answer when we don't recognize the caller id, so it goes to voice mail. This caller never leaves a message, but then, does any scammer?
All these other reports say he always asks if you own a small dog. Maybe he's looking for a specific response, like "There are no small dogs, only small actors" or "The snows are deep in Leningrad in the winter" or "The pearl is in the river". Who knows?

Didn't answer, they called back again with 30 seconds of the first call.

This is the second call from P30PLE RSPNZ in as many days. After reading about other people's experiences from this site, I decided to pick up the phone this time. After I said, "Hello?", there was a brief pause then an obviously recorded male voice said, "This is survey twenty-ten. Do you own a small dog?" at which point I hung up.

Caller asked "Do you own a small dog?"
What is that about?

Just like the others, we received a few calls asking if we "own a small dog." Not sure how our phone number got to this &*)%$, but now we're getting at least one call every day.

Mike Chase: you mention that there are lots of legit sites that would clear up who this number belongs to. I've tried to find out...perhaps you could do a bit of legwork for all of us looking for the answer to the burning question: WHO IS THE LEGITIMATE OWNER OF THIS PHONE NUMBER? If it is as easy as you say, why not clear your name once and a for all with the real the identity of the real perpetrator???????

I got the call from Couer D Alen ID, I was not paying attention and thought it was a doctor ( I've a sick husband and a sick dog) so i answered. A pre-recorded male voice asked if I owned a small dog. Stupid me, i said yes and then was immediately disconnected. I'm now kicking myself.
I've filed complaints with the FCC and the Do Not Call Registry. I really hope that helps.

This is either a scam or it's a Police or CIA matter.

I have receivewd this call on two consecutive nights ay 7:24. The recorded message asked "If I owned a small dog".

I got the "Do you own a small dog?" recording. I said "Let me speak to a live person." SIlence. "Hello?" Silence. "Yes." Silence. Finally they disconnected.

I got the same message as folks below, except I noticed that it also mentioned "Laser Voice Mail." So I checked out their website, but no live person answered their phone. So called a different company name Kall8 listed at the bottom and gave them the info provided below about Mike Chase. The rep said they'd look into it. We'll see if that helps. Otherwise, I'm calling the guy myself.

They keep calling; I didn't answer once they said,"Do you own a small dog?" So I hung up but they keep calling!

Tony Perkins: family research council in Washington Dc.

Just called here, "do you own a small dog?" I said yep and he's mean as a 2 week hemorrhoid, do you want him? Let them come around my house looking for a small dog he's going to find the big dog, Tiny. Tiny is a 85 pound Dobermann that doesn't bark, he only bites. Sweet little Tiny! FT

They called but left no message.

I did it once for each of the four calls on my caller id system. I recommend you all do the same so this person gets in seriously trouble.

Did anyone recently call a prayer request line and give them your number?

Call rolled over to Voice Mail. Called VM and no message. Very Annoying

P30PlE RSPNZ has been calling all week. Never leaves a message. Frigging annoying.

But please,never answer "yes" to this kind of call. This is an old business scam where they will record your "yes" and use it to say you agreed to buy something from them. We were ripped off once at our workplace by someone saying we agreed to buy their product, and they even played back the badly dubbed-in "yes" to us.

I live in area code 951. How IRONIC that Mike Chase is in the same area code as this bullsh*t call.

I'm filing a complaint with the FCC on all 3 numbers. P30ple Rspnz & the Mike Chase numbers. F**k this sh*t.

I have a terminal illness and this caller woke me up twice today.

Rude.

HOLD ON -- do not call 208-772-8293 or 208-667-6887. These are NOT the people who are calling us. Talked to Mrs. Chase and she has no idea how their number got connected with P3ople respnz.
When p3ople respnz called I told them that I had a small dog. Waiting for them to call back -- will get the correct number to get these jerks to stop calling.
Why is it that you track down and stop one jackass from calling -- then another one pops up the next week without fail.

I am also on a do not call list...did not answer...maybe next time I will and say I have 2 small dogs...SMITH and WESSON...let them come for my dogs.

Message: "Do you own a small dog?"

I just plan didn't answer the phone, did anyone try calling the number back? I live in Maryland.

RECEIVED A RECORDED CALL 11:30 AM EST -'DO YOU OWN A SMALL DOG?' I CALLED THE NUMBER ON ID 208-758-0218 THE NUMBER WAS BUSY. WITH ALL THE SCAMS GOING AROUND, THIS TYPE OF CALL IS VERY SUSPECT & DISTURBING.

Have received called from this ID more than several times. Never answer. They never leave a message. I'm on the Do-Not-Call registry.

I have spent toooo much time thinking about this...possibly this alone is the caller's intent?? :) Out there in Idaho with nothing else to do perhaps....

segond time in the last week, message on machine says "small dog"

Thank you Internet Hunter for locating this guy and providing his contact info. I left a polite message at both numbers (same girl is heard on the outgoing of both numbers), and I stated simply, "Please remove my number from your call list, thank you". Caller ID should suffice for the information he needs. Hopefully, he gets enough messages back that he decides to change his suspicious tactics. Maybe somebody should tell him to go to whocalled.us just so he can see how creepy his approach is.

i got called asking if i have fog horn on 8 23 10

Thanks, Internet Hunter. Judging from the posts here, this guy has been extremely active all over the country lately. I just wonder why on earth he cares who owns a dog and who doesn't? Anybody have a clue about that?

Received 3 calls so far in 3 minutes of each other. The first two caller id showed the P30PLE RSPNZ and the third showed Unavailable. It's after 8:30pm and I have kids trying to go to sleep with the phone ringing every minute is really annoying. Hopefully they don't call again. I refuse to answer after reading all the comments.

Small dog call.

I found this person who has been at the root of this. His Name is Mike Chase, owner of a Database Marketing, Inc. Give him a call for yourself....this is his personal home phone number and address: (208) 772-8293 7512 N 4th St, Dalton Gardens, ID 83815-8737. I'm sure he'll appreciate a call at his house. Here's his business line...might as well leave a message there as well.(208) 667-6887

After much sleuthing...I believe we have our man. All it really took was knowing that this was a little common sense. Telemarketing companies deal in databases all the time. Coeur D Alene, Idaho couldn't have that many. A few phone calls and a couple of other tricks and voila...

All's fair in love and spam marketing.

Pre recorded sounding question if we own a small dog.

I got the same small dog poll question. So simple, but for some reason, it really creeped me out. I called my telephone carrier to put a block on any international calls or suspicious activity on my phone line.

I dont leave answering machine in any more, to avoid these calls

they just asked wether there was a small dog in the home. called olice and made report

Don't answer calls from people you don't know. Let recorder take them. It's that simple!

Robocall saying, "This is Survey 2010. Do you own a small dog?" I hung up. Why would somebody in Coerdalene, Idaho care if I (in Virginia) own a dog? Something's screwy here.

Received calls on Sun night and Mon afternoon. Ignored both, thought it would be a poll of some kind.

Recorded message starting to ask (survey) about pets. Hung up and filed report with no-call also

Received a call from p3ople rspnz who asked if I had a small dog. When I replied they disconnected.
What is this about? Who is this group?

Just spoke with an animal control officer who said that this is a common scam where a lab will need to obtain a large population of dogs for scientific purposes - of course they want them for free so they will call around and see who has in this case "small dog" when you answer "yes" they then have you on a list of people along with your address and they go by and kidnap your dog. Keep your animals inside and be aware of who is in your neighborhoods. She also suggested reporting the calls to the police.

I see now that a lot of folks are noting the call coming from Alan D. Coeur or some derivative. Coeur d'Alene is a beautiful city/lake in the northern part of Idaho .... perhaps the majority of residents are wonderful, but it's well known the region is home of the Aryan Nations (ie white supremacists). How the heck this ties in with a small dog is a quandry. Could this be something gearing up towards the elections in November??? .... who knows, but thank goodness for caller ID.

Got the same call, same number ... in fact I think I had this same call a few days ago. Either way, if it's a 'bait' type of call (friend and debt collector) or a political call, this is really making me wonder if owning a land line continues to be a good idea.

Do I have a Dog survey: I did a search on Police Department coeur d alene Idaho where the 208 phone number is located and sent their detectives the information on this number.

A biased "push poll" survery full of leading questions from the far right. Is the healthcare bill really "commonly know as Obamacare?" On Fox yes.

Asked political party type questions asking who I would vote for. Used loaded questions against Democrats. Sounds like more Karl Rove type manipulation.

Who are you??

caller ID said name of : COEUR D ALAN ID number 208 758 0218 left a message that was a cut off recording that said something about a small dog...only lasted about 3 seconds..... i got a friend that said new tactic of debt collectors is to use a neighbors name or some other 'bait' to get you to call back then they know your number is good and they keep calling back because you let them know where you are..... i say you don't provide a caller id and a name or a legible message, then you call is not important enough to me to bother but deleting it. called at mid afternoon on sunday

Got this same phone call 8/22/10 1:03p.m. Caller ID read "P30PLE RSPNZ". Did not answer this call.

Recorded voice asked if I owned a small dog. WTF?

i just got the same message from these harassing fools. I registered a complaint on the do not call registry and suggest anyone else who gets one does the same so the FTC will investigate this low class operation

We just got the call also. Since we have a large dog, we said "no". It sure could be phishing, so I'm glad we didn't say "yes". Also, we have call blocking.

Also got the message at home asking me if I own a small dog... and that was that.

Robocall asking me if I own a small dog. None of your beeswax!

Just got a call @ 8:39pm (8/21/10) from this number. Only thing said was, "Do you own a small dog?" Was very creepy as we do in fact own a small dog. Didn't call back.

I received a call @ 8:20pm with the caller ID: P30PLE RSPNZ. Same as most...dead air. Tried to call back...again, dead air. It was strange.

so irritating. it sais alen couer.. try to call back and you get dead air.

Received call on Sunday 08-21-2010 @ 8:16 pm. Caller ID was P30PLE REPNZ. I did not answer the phone, let voice mail take it. Had a "blank" voice mail of about 20 seconds.

Noise message on voice mail: "Buzz-Click". Our number has been on both PA and Federal Do-Not-Call lists "forever".

I got this call tonight and they said the same things as everyone else reported. Not sure what it was all about, but I don't trust it so I plan to report them to the FCC.

recorded message said it was from Survey 28 and asked if I owned a small dog. When I said no they said this was sponsored by survey 28 and rattled off a phone number and disconnected

Same as below about the small dog.

We never answer phone calls from people we don't know. They hung up on our answering machine.

Received a call in Houston, TX approx 3:45 PM CDT on 8/21/2010. Caller ID showed P30PLE RSPNZ. No one said anything, so I looked it up here. Sounds like a Creepy call according to others. Sicko or scam? I think when somebody gets a list over 10 (with the do you have a small dog question or similar) on a site like this the FCC should be automatically notified and investigate.(they may even monitor sites like this, I hope so).

Asked if we had a small dog. I said yes and was scared my dog was missing but I found my dog here. It was creepy. I have call blocking. I did not accept anything from P3ople Rspnz. The man hung up after I said yes. Sick of people doing this. please stop them.

got call at 1:05 EST on 8/21/2010. No message was left. Caller ID showed P30PLE RSPNZ

got this call at 8:08p on 8/20/10, asking if I had a small dog. (it was left on my answering machine) really creepy.

First time getting this number. To my wifes chagrin I do not answer calls from unknown ID's or numbers. Got the call on Sat. morning about 10 am. I am on th DNC List as well.

This call came in very late (almost 9:00pm) and when I answered they mumbled something and hung up.

Who ia this? What I've got so far is he's 39 and in Idaho

Allen D Coeur is actually the name of a city in Idaho Coeur D'Alene. Checked area code 208 is Idaho.

I REPORTED TO FCC. I FEAR THEY ARE PHISHING FOR "YES" AND WILL CHANGE QUESTION LATER TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF THE RESPONDER ACCEPTED SOME TERMS.

Got this call and reported them to the 'do not call registry'. Recorded message asked if I had a small dog. I said no. They disconnected.
