I'm actually an employee of Malatest. We're a legit survey company with government contracts and many laws to follow to protect people. We get our numbers from many places, sometimes from the client who we're contracted by and sometimes from listed numbers. Everything we do is legitimate and legal! As a surveyor, we're desperate on our end to get completes. A tip from an inside, if you're not interested and don't want to participate simply answer the phone, wait until we are done our little 30 second introduction and politely say "I'm sorry i am not interested" and we will never call you back! I'm not sure if anyone will take me serious, but it's true, try it! As for foodbook, its a survey for the Public Health Agency of Canada. We ask about foods you've eaten, animals you've been in contact with and water you drank. Also, try and be kind, most of us are hard working students trying our best to do our jobs while also making you guys happy and just trying to make money for university. Don't yell at us that it's supper time, supper time literally varies from 4pm-8pm when we call people, we can't read your minds. If you explain to the person on the phone, they will listen.

same thing happened to me except that the message  was  in Russian. My second name is RussianI don't know where they got my info . My phone  # is unlisted and it's a company phone. I could  tell that the person who left a message had a really good Russian, but also  I could tell he was not native Russian.This slight accent can be detected only by native speaker. Which is I am. So those telemarketers when to extent to find a solicitors with the knowledge of foreign languages. LOL I am not picking up. I need to find out how to block certain  numbers.

(613) 688-5051>MALATESTI checked malatest.com. they are a company of some kind of survey thing.anyway I don't trust when they don't tell me how they get my info.

Call me now

Health Canada doing research on eating out. They left a message on my machine telling me to call back and gave me a case number. Called again today since I didn't return call yesterday. No time fr surveys. I'm blocking them.

Missed call from (613) 688-5051. It was extremely difficult to hear - static and far away sounding. Also sounded like a cellphone call from a car. It cut out after a few seconds ..."This is kshhhkshhh...calling from...click!''If this is from a call centre, it certainly is not facilitated professionally. I'm not convinced by previous posts indicating the number is legitimate. I'll test the number on a line other than my personal phone, just in case.
