Watch out for relentless calls that keep ringing past reasonable hours. Under U.S. telemarketing rules, most survey firms must honor the National Do Not Call Registry and may not call after 9 pm local time unless you’ve given prior consent. If the number keeps showing up, first ask for a written opt‑out and confirm the company’s name. Record the call details, then file a complaint with the FTC and your state consumer agency. Use built‑in call blocking or a third‑party app to shield your line, and never share sensitive personal data until you’ve verified the caller’s legitimacy. Protecting your privacy starts with clear boundaries and timely action.
A call was received at 8:40 pm, and after hanging up, they called back, but stopped after the second hang-up, with the caller ID showing Bernett R, which led to further research online.
Recently, I visited their website to gather more information.
It's annoyting to recieve calls at 10:30 PM, is this even leggal?
Repeatedly, these individuals have called during dinner, requesting participation in a 3-minute research survey, despite my explicit request to remove my name from their list due to my wife's health issues.
Bernett Research is associated with this number.
Receiving a call at 10:15pm for a survey was highly inappropriate, and the representative's response to my complaint about the late hour was dismissive
A survey call was received at 10:42 pm regarding issues affecting California, which seemed inconsiderate given the late hour.
Receiving a call at 10:32 PM was highly unpleasant, especially when the representative showed little concern for the late hour and simply apologized; when questioned about the research, the representative repeated the initial statement about a short research survey, which I found to be inconsiderate.
The caller, identified as Bernett R, displayed rude behavior when I answered, continuing to ask for my husband despite being informed that it was my phone, prompting me to hang up on them.
Receiving a call at 10:10 pm from these individuals is not only disruptive but also appears to contravene federal regulations regarding calling hours. Their actions are unacceptable.
I'm feeling uneasy after receiving a call from this number, the person asked for my husband, claimed to be James Steal, and hung up on me when I said he was sleeping, the caller ID displayed R Burnett, which seems suspicious and unethical.
Following a call from Bernett Research, my husband and I were awakened at 10:47, which prompted a heated conversation with the representative, who seemed oblivious to the late hour, and we ultimately requested to be removed from their list.
Despite being on the do-not-call list, this number calls repeatedly, making the list seem ineffective as I continue to receive calls
The company, allegedly called Mercury, made a call after 10 pm, which I found disturbing, and I suggest complaining to the responsible individuals.
Last night, at 9:35 PM, I recieved a call from these slimeballs, I dare them to come to my door and ask me any questions, they wont be leaving unharmed.
I just called the number, its a survey research company, their message says to delete your number, please leave it on a message, it wil take aproximately 3 days
Nightly calls from this number are extremely frustrating, especially since my number is unlisted and AT&T had assured me that I would be exempt from telemarketing calls by listing it in the directory; the constant hang-ups without messages make it a particularly bothersome experience
