It was really strange because there was a phone number that showed up on call display, and TWH usually shows up unknown.  The girl asked for me by name and asked if I would do a survey for the Bariatric center on behalf of Dr. Jackson and so on, I said you do realize what time it is right?..... I didn't do it, it felt strange.  Anyone else get a call last night?

The last couple of days I have had a weird number show up on my call display-tonight it was after 10 pm.  I did not answer it cause I dont typically answer numbers I dont know.  I wonder if thats what it was?

 I would call the centre and let them know. They might have outsourced people to do the survey (if it is legit) and they need to know that calls are being made that late. It is very inappropriate.

that is weird. You should call someone at TWH and find out if they authorized that.

 i agree with everyone but i would also be concerned about your privacy......what they did ,IF they out sourced the survey was release your name phone number and medical condition to a 3rd party without your consent and thats against the law

Ok, so I called TWH and asked if they ever sent calls for research surveys, she said they do but it sounds strange to be that late at night. And I did some research on the number that it came from (760-705-888) and it turns out if people call you from gmail??? that is the number that will show up. But the lady I talked to today said that she will look into it because it shouldn't be something that comes that late at night.
Just thought I would let you know the update.

Thanks for sharing Brenda. I have been getting weird numbers as well. Good move calling TWH.

Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.
