They called stating they were the New agency for Industry Canada, and had a survey to complete by phone on applying for loans and access to capital for small business, questions seemed about right, but i didn't give any information, other than answering the questions about lending institutions and what the outcome was. I asked about website, he said it was lengthy, doesn't sound like Industry Canada, that came out at end of call, then he got quiet.

They come up as Foodbook and I'm getting PISSED off!

Can this number be added to the 'do not call list?'

His company was kind enough to call our phones and use our minutes, call them back on thier toll free number and return the favor. If your bored, make a day of it, each call costs them money!

It seems perfectly legitimate.  They asked if they could call again another time as they had already reached their quota in my age group.  Very polite & did inform what they were doing. Seems a legit national survey from a marketing company...National - Foodbook: Canadian Food Exposure Study to Strengthen Outbreak ResponseThe Public Health Agency of Canada has contracted Malatest to conduct surveys with the Canadian population to estimate Canadians' exposure to foods over a seven-day period that may serve as vehicles for foodborne infections.
