You heard a greeting that mentions Venture Data, a market research firm, before being asked to visit their website to join a DNC list. The call fits the classic pattern of unsolicited market research outreach that often disguises itself as a legitimate survey. These contacts rarely provide real value and can be a nuisance. Block the number on your phone, add it to any personal do‑not‑call registry, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC if the calls persist. If you accidentally engage, request removal from their list and avoid sharing personal data. Staying proactive keeps your line free of unwanted research spam.
The situation seems amusing, but the context is unclear.
Interestingly, they claim there's no way to opt-out of their call list, which raises suspicions.
Upon callback, a recorded message identifies the caller as Venture Data, a market research company, and directs you to their website to opt out of future calls.
