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?

    Don't Trust Polling Results
    This is why you shouldn't trust polling results when they're reported.  The polls are very carefully constructed, very well thought out, etc, etc.  Yet human beings make the questions, ask the questions, hear/read the questions, interpret the questions, answer the questions, hear/read the answers, interpret the answers, decide the best way to publish the results.  Humans are so incredibly subjective and diverse that this process is less effective than playing a game of telephone in a restaurant during your first date with someone in order to find out what they think of you.  Look at how many paranoid interpretations of the poll there are here on this page alone! Look how many people mis-heard and/or mis-understood the person polling.  Look at how poorly the poll was designed even after painstaking effort, so that the results are tainted by all this mess.  Consider that there are actual consequences for the poor employees of wells fargo which result from this whole polling process and how the consequences don't line up with reality because of it.  People were not made for charts, and charts that were made for people are flawed.

    Mad as a Hornet
    Gallup's purposes are opinion surveys, to find where the nation stands on issues.  They don't delve into personal bank accounts, names, ages, employment, actively looking for work, etc.  This is paid snooping by another organization, and not Gallup.  These personal delving surveys should be illegal, trying to pin them on a more professional organization.  These kids are lying to you to get you to confess or give them self-injurious information.  If I were Gallup, I would sue them for misrepresenting them.
