For the past two days, September 7th and 8th, some individual or business has been calling households claiming to be “Magellan Strategies”. The calls are being made using Global Crossing technology. For anyone reading this post, please understand we are NOT calling any households in Ohio, or have we called anyone in the past two days in Ohio. We have received numerous calls and emails from people in the following area codes in Ohio asking us to stop the calling:
513, 937, 440, 740
We want the public to know that we have used the number 202-747-7314 in the past to conduct our surveys. We also want the public to know that when we do a survey, we clearly state at the beginning of the survey who we are, “Magellan Strategies”, we provide an opt out option at the end of every survey, and we provide a telephone number of our office in Louisville, Colorado. We do not deceive people in any of our survey research, and make every attempt to allow respondents to opt out. We also do not contact people past 8pm in the evening.
This morning we will be trying to find out what the message is, who is doing the calling and intend to press charges against the firm or individual that is pretending to be Magellan Strategies, or Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies. We are reputable and transparent survey research firm that adheres to the survey standards of the American Association of Public Opinion Research and the Marketing Research Association.
If you have been called in the past two days and wish to speak to me personally about the calling, please contact me at 303-861-8585.
