Picture this: a stranger dials your line, claims to represent Advantage Research, and launches a sales spiel before you hang up. The call fits the classic telemarketing pattern—no verification, vague product talk, and a push to get you on a list. The safest move is to end the conversation quickly, avoid sharing personal details, and let the call go to voicemail. Afterward, block the number on your phone and report the incident to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filter service. Keeping a log of repeat numbers can help you spot trends and protect yourself from future unwanted pitches.

After answering a call from a young male representing Advantage Research, I informed him that the person he was trying to reach had passed away and requested that her name be removed from their list.
