Caller ID says Poway CA. I called number back after numerous occasions of them calling each of our business lines. Was dead air for the longest time, then a canned message calling themselves Directions & Research stated the reception desk was closed and that if you needed assistance to press #...I pressed #...it said if you know your party's extension dial it now..or dial the first three letters of the last name you are trying to reach...I took a shot and pressed random keys (M-A-T)..actually got someone live!! Asked what they do, she said they are a marketing & research company. I asked "what kind of research company places random calls and hangs up when answered...how is that research??" Then asked for our number to be removed because we are a business and don't wish to participate in anything they are "researching". She asked what number, I said, "Check your caller id, I'm sure it's listed there...now remove it please." and I hung up.
