It's a legitimate market research company that conducts market research on behalf of business and govt. organisations. You get paid for providing feedback on products and services.

Yes, they WILL PAY YOU for attending sessions. normally around $80 for 1.5hrs. What a**holes...

I worked for this company many years ago. They conduct telephone interviews for things like market research, election polls and customer satisfaction surveys. They also conduct paid focus groups and surveys.

The do-not-call register does not apply to organizations which are not selling anything, such as polling companies.

Pretty sure its Q&A who's pay you pretty good money to do survey.

16:36 25-feb-2016 Sarah from the ATO? Really? Noisy background, said she would call me on the landline. Still waiting.

They pay you decent money for surveys.

It's a legit company who give you money to go to meetings and give your opinion on different things, companies, products etc. Good fun to be involved.

So, Sophie, if they don't keep record of your number, how do you explain that when I missed their first call, the called me back ten minutes later? If they call at random, that's quite coincidental.

Annoying. They ring and don't leave messages and hang up when you answer. I'm off to the Do Not Call Register to complain...again

This number is Q & A research

I just had a call from 07 31198 015 7.48pm 22-8-12... I didnt answer it... no message left... I also had a call from 07 31198 000 about 2-3 hours ago... I answered that and it was definitly some sort of call center with lots of noise going on in the background but they haung up on me.... I am marking both numbers as scam do not answer... I have better things to do with my time.

Q&A Research, they have the worst reputation in the worst reputation inthe industry. Very dodgy company. Look them upand ring them up constantly and see how they like it.

Sick of these people. I'd like to hold a ringing phone to they're ear for ten minutes...
I usually pick up the phone cut them off and tell them to remove me from they're list. S

I've been registered with Q&A Market Research in Brisbane since Feb this year. I don't answer numbers I don't recognise and sometimes they call from a with-held number - only recently have I gotten this number ID. They always leave messages with return numbers and they only ever call to query me on whether I want to be involved in a paid market research survey that I've expressed interest in via email. I only get a few calls every six months or so, but I never got calls before I registered, and noone I've spoken to from the company has ever had a problem with me saying 'no  thanks' outright.I hope this helps!

Phone call from this number.  I didn't answer and they left no message and it sounded like a dial tone as soon as the answer machine took it.

Yeah thanks guys, this worked a treat!!!! Just answer it and say that you're from Grant's Surveys and ask them if they don't mind taking 10 minutes of their time to answer a few questions. First question..... Ask them what state they were born in.... and they will then hang up. Just remember. Grant's Surveys!

Cheers

A friend of mine works at Q & A, its basically a market research company. When they call they only ask that you  do a 3 minute survey wtih them. They are exempt from the "Do Not Call" list as they are market research and will NOT try to sell you anything. Also once you complete the survey you have the option to come into the company and make some money doing group market research (i.e. testing new drinks etc) so you can get something out of them.

The numbers they dial are at random for the call centre operators (who are paid on an hourly basis with no commission etc) and the computer system just puts numbers together at random so the people saying they have many calls are pretty much lying OR have signed up to go into do a group market research session at one point or another and being called up to go in for that. My friend says they only call you back if they have spoken to someone in the household and they have arranged a better time to call and the call will only happen if the survey quota has not been completed.

If anything you shouldnt snap at the people who work there, they are making a living just as I'm sure you are. You can ask to be removed from their dialling list but it wont guarantee you wont get called again as they don't have a database of numbers AT ALL.

i also received a call form this number at 4.48 on the 27th of June 2009.
and l am blocked form telemarketers and l too  have found out that this number is from a company called Q & A Market Research
According to the Do Not Call register Market research calls and Charity's do not fall within the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 so long as they carry out standard questionnaire-based research or opinion polling. However, market research calls are subject to the Telecommunications (Do Not Call Register) (Telemarketing and Research Calls) Industry Standard (industry standard).

The direct contact number for their offices in QLD is (07) 3369 2299. I strongly suggest that if you want them to stop calling you bombard them with calls of complaint as they will hide under the fact they are market research
