On checking further, I found this 2010 decision by the CRTC against a company (Breathe E-Z Homes Ltd.) who used SPT to do surveys just like this (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-572.htm). They got people to agree (or not disagree) to a followup if they won a prize, but they sold that phone list to a company who then used it to target consumers (thus telemarketing, even to people on the DNC). They were fined the ridiculously low sum of $2,000, and either they or another company must have decided it's worth that little bit to try it again. (The website for SPT given in the footnotes no longer exists.)

SPT Research -- or whoever they are -- called me several times between yesterday and today. They're aggressive and won't take NO for an answer. They'll hang up and call you right back. I'm annoyed and want to know how to stop these people. Apparently, when it comes to telemarketers, the CRTC's responsibilities end at our borders.

Have gotten a few calls about an "environmental survey."  I asked for the company name, she said SPT, her name was Trixie.  When I asked for the number that she's calling from she gave me my own number.  I said, "that's my phone number, I would like the number YOU are calling from please.  She then hung up on me.

hey i hate dat survey!

Just got the same call over two nights. Before giving any info I asked for their number and Clarice said I was entered into a draw on september 17 for $500 for any store!!!!  They also said I won either a trip for two or a Slapchop. I said I would take the slapchop and she said that's great ... Its what most people take!!!!  Anyways I got their number and she said her company was Meditech group which was weird cuz the survey yesterday was about recycling.  Anyways I have no intention of calling back but thought I would still report it

Being curious about a call I recieved, I participated in a 'survey' from over the phone (different number)Today I 'Won' a set of knives or a trip for 2 for 3 nights from this number that called me back. It's of course a scam, and should be covered by the CRTC Do-Not-Call list.I am reporting them now.
