Why are SSI survey calls haunting your inbox?
Summary — +17185784157
Expert Opinion
Calls from this number often appear under names like SSI, Dynata, or Sekula Shulem, and callers typically ask for personal information such as age, address, or family members. These are most likely automated telephone surveys run by Survey Sampling International, now part of Dynata, rather than a legitimate charity or government agency. If you’re on the Do‑Not‑Call list, you can register the number with the FTC complaint portal or request removal directly from Dynata’s opt‑out page. Hang up immediately when the script feels invasive, avoid sharing any details, and consider using call‑blocking apps to stop repeat calls. Staying aware of the caller’s true purpose helps protect your privacy.

It's worth noting that SSI, or Survey Sampling International, is now owned by Dynata, Inc. This means there should be no 'SCAM' designation on caller ID. With minimal research, one can learn that they are a legitimate telephone survey company and find out how to opt-out of their survey calls on their website.
