Earlier today, a string of unanswered calls from +18173856325 showed up as “Out of Area” or “CALL RESEARCH” on the display. The pattern—instant hang‑up, vague survey wording, and occasional “political survey” label—matches typical outbound survey campaigns. To protect your privacy, enable carrier‑level call blocking, add the number to a reputable third‑party blocker, and consider using *67 when returning calls. Periodically review your call‑log for repeat offenders and report persistent numbers to the FCC. Staying proactive with call blocking, caller ID verification, and survey opt‑out settings keeps unwanted outreach at bay.
Despite previous reports, this number continues to call, with the caller ID still displaying 'Call Research'.

Two calls were received, each time hanging up after three rings, prompting me to block the number.
After calling back with *67, I found out it was a survey for Venture Data Call Research, aparently
Upon receiving this call, it terminated abruptly prior to my answering machine engaging. The caller identification simply stated "Out of Area", prompting me to add it to the extensive list of over 1,000 blocked numbers using my computer-based call blocking system.
