I have had it with this group. After last nights call and then reporting them to the Bank today ... They have just called again! The information they have obtained from any source should be illegal. Apparently asking them to stop making calls does not work!

They just kept calling and calling and calling until I answered the phone. I asked the lady what company was she calling from and she did not know. I asked her why she was calling so late and she hung up. I thought they were a scam for Bank of America.

A received a phone call on my home phone on a Wednesday evening after 8:30pm. I answered the call and the woman on the line asked to speak with my deceased father-in-law. I requested the name and purpose of their call. She rattled of some name and stated to me, "This is Bank of America" calling for him. I gave the phone to my wife and she informed her that her father is deceased. The woman on the line hung up before my wife could ask a her any questions.
I traced the call to 636-373-9659. This is the phone number of MARITZ RESEARCH located 1375 N Highway Drive, Fenton, MO 63026. the company business hours on Wednesday are from 9:00am- 5:00pm. MOST IMPORTANT!!! I was researching whitepages.com site to find information on the phone number. I decided to go search under the MARITZ RESEARCH'S name as a business and I all of a sudden had a pop-up request wanting me to approve downloading of a plugin from the server of this page allowing them to turn on and off the "AMD Steady Video" control of my onboard computer hardware when it detects a video in browser. What bothers me is that the request didn't pop up when I was searching broad phone number listings, only when I typed in the name MARITZ RESEARCH.
One thing I left out of my first comment. MARITZ RESEARCH company's website gives reference to some of the services they provide include "Government Contracts." I am sorry, but any company for whatever reasons, has no business conducting surveys after their own business hours. Plus, anyone having a name an phone and the Bank they do business with is way to much information regarding me. Now all you need is the last 4 digits of your SS number and a online pathway into the clouds (magical cloud storing all your streaming information online) and your freedom is permanently invaded for life.

You cant judge the.employees of maritz research! They have a job just like anyone.else and they conduct surveys on behalf banks.. They dont ask.anything personal just your satisfaction with the bank. They may call alot.but they are doing.their job and no.need to.be rude to.them!
Amen. I'd scrub floors before doing harrassing telemarketer or survey calls. These people are using my personal phones for the furtherance of their own business and pay to the harrassers. Get a decent job!

I have been receiving phone calls from Maritz Research for several days now. I've not bothered to answer, but today after I saw they had called, I called back. I got a recording that advised me that if I want to be put on their internal Do-Not-Call list, to dial 1-800-864-8601. I did, was prompted for my phone number (recording, of course), and after punching it in, was told that it could take up to three days to take my number off. Will see how that goes.
Apparently the folks at Maritz Research just as inept at paper surveys as they are at telephone surveys.

So I worked at Maritz when I was in college. A couple things:
1. You have to specifically say "put me on your do not call list." If you say "don't call me again" or "remove me from your list/database," you will get called again. And if you do get put on the DNC list, it may just be for that survey - if you do business with another company that contracts with Maritz, you may get called again. I'm not saying that is ok, I am saying that is how it works.
2. Maritz gets ALL of the information it has about you from a company you already do business with. Your bank, your insurance company, your car rental place, etc. If they know what bank branch you visited last, your bank told them. If they know who your insurance agent is, your insurance company told them that. Your bank tellers or insurance agent might have no clue who Maritz is though, because the decision to contract with Maritz is usually a decision made above their pay grade.
3. Please be nice to the callers. They are not calling you to piss you off or steal your identity. A lot of them (actually almost all of them) are people who hate the soul-sucking job of calling people who automatically hate them/are rude to them/yell at them, but work there because it is a job and in this economy most people cannot afford to be picky. They are people just like you. They might be waking you up early or interrupting you or annoying you, but they are people just trying to get by. And the computer calls numbers on the list automatically, no one singled you out. If you want to be mad at someone, call the company that contracted with Maritz.
These people made the choice to sit on their Butts and call us on our personal ph lines, in the furtherance of business for Maritz? My ph lines are not for another co to violate my right to privacy and sleep. Everyone is not on 9 to 5 schedules, whether working or retired! I don't have to be nice to anyone harrassing me, waking me up, or using my ph lines to get a sorry-ass pay check. Since when are non political survey calls exempt from the state & national "Do not call lists?" I pay a lot of money for landline/cell phones & being subjected to constant unsolicited ph calls is against the law.I get at least one call each day. Today was two calls. Do you think that's fair everyone?

Today during dinner time, called us in Canada (long distance call, I will try bill them for it). Spoke to us in Mandarin which we understand. Could not properly say our names. Usually we go in Cantonese. Identified them as "Scotiabank" in Chinese, but when asked what is the English name, said HSBC. Hung up after.

They have a Facebook page where you can post a negative review. You can also post comments on their links. Let's all bomb their Facebook page with comments until the telephone calls stop!

an intimidating place to work in central London, all they do is overbook shifts and send people home, the supervisors have an issue about every call you make. If they don't want to keep you then why waste your time and say yes on the first time. A probation period should NOT be needed by listening to a persons conversation surely you can tell within a span of minutes that they are right or not right for the job.
