Got a call from 858-391-4100 at 6:04 EST today. Caller ID labeled it "Research Center." Caller said they were from "Directions and Research". When I asked what specific company he was calling from he merely repeated "Directions and Research" and told me he was doing a short survey on security breaches. I asked him what kind of security breaches and he told me personal and financial related. He told me there would be no confidential information asked, which got me suspicious--that WAS what he had been referring to in the first place. When I told him I was declining to answer his questions since I didn't feel comfortable doing so, he insisted that it was very important I answer. Annoyed, I finally gave the phone to another family member, who asked them the same clarifying questions I had asked plus a few more, and then said goodbye and hung up.
