Nathan
Complaint
N Smith
Country: United States
I Have received 2 calls in 2 days at supper time from an individual named Nathan. He states he is calling from Gallup Poll. Interestingly, the first night he also stated he was calling from Wells Fargo?
In both instances I have informed him that this is an unlisted number. Also, this number is on the National DoNotCall list since 2003. In both instances I have demanded he remove us from their list.
In both calls, Nathan has refused to acknowlege or agree to take us off their calling list and also refuses to hang up. It is necessary to hang up on him.
Is there some sort of scam going on here with Gallup Poll? Can this person continue to harass us every night at supper time? What can I do to stop this?

We're Gallup trackers. We know what it is like to be manipulated and abused. Look it up, absent the jobs where you can actually die (soldier, fireman, policeman) along with air traffic controllers, ours is the MOST stressful job there is. I wonder what would happen if all those businesses that buy our business plan, including how to reduce turnover, would think if they knew we lose twenty people a month in our smallest center. Exit interviews? Yeah, that would be cool, exept these people just don't show up. There is a lot of good about working for Gallup, not even the managers aren't allowed to acknowledge that there is anything bad. They won't be able to compete in Gen-Y world.
Banks won't exist as we know them, in 10 years. Nor health insurance for profit, nor debt, buying investments. The plebes have had it. We won't break out the guillotines but occupy wallstreet was a warning flag. (albeit from nutjobs) We'll go back to a pre-technology society, or buffet and gates will actually wake up their contemporaries. "give up 12 of your 20 beach houses, or give them all up ala the french revolution, and the corn wars"
I'll send you my tinfoil hat though. It's very comforting.
I already receive phishing emails related to my WF business account, with fax or docs attached in a zip file. Now to learn Wells Fargo has passed my information out to a third party, by providing Gallup with a client list and contact information, serves only to escalate to my concerns. There is no valid justification for exposing me as a client. I’ve received 2 emails from Gallup. It is for this reason that I will close my business account at Wells Fargo. How’s that for your survey?
So if these people have the know-how to hack your account, they wouldn't actually need to call you, they would just hack into your personal computer at home or the bank itself. There are phone scams too of course, but you would actually have to verbally give them your account information over the phone. So… you know… maybe just try going through with the Gallup survey (about your service) and not giving out your account number, yeah? Pretty simple.
I've worked part-time for a market research company before and I never understood why the average American is so scared of a simple phone call. Consumers always want better service, products and seemingly less automation but when asked to give this feedback they hide or are simply RUDE. It's a honest job to get your feedback to help improve the services you provide. I welcome the calls and the surveys!
Understand that giving less than 5 on a Wells Fargo survey can cost that employee his job. Unless you want that person fired, please do not give a four.
