Called at 1030 this morning, then again at 12:06 and AGAIN at 2:58. No messages.. I have told them at least three times that I will not respond and am not interested. Next stop- CRTC, I guess. Name comes up as "GT GROUP TELECOM SERVICES CORP" Interweb tells me this:
GT Group Telecom Vancouver #1500-1066 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC V6E 3X1 Canada
Appears to be a phone bank operation (sweat shop?) employing mainly "New Canadians" who are working in English as a 2nd language and who seem to have to meet a daily quota in order to keep their jobs. If I could only get a street address I might pass the complaint on to the WCB about working conditions and see if that has any more effect than being in the don't call list....
Feel free to call them back on the above numbers at any time...
PS- They're owned by Bell ... go figure!

When I try to return call just rings busy. Further investigation came up with Telemarketers of course.

BEWARE of these calls. The scam is to have you answer the survey and then to call you back, note that you win a prize for taking part and then get you bank account information. The call I received noted it was an "Air Quality Research Survey". The caller noted that the company doing the research was SPL and the call was from 220-1011 but the caller gave me the number of (778) 785-4549 when I asked for a phone number to call back and verify the survey.I was asked the following questions- anyone in my household that smoked- any asthma or allergies in my household- any animals (dogs, cats, birds) - how long I lived in my current house- the category of work that I did (to assess occupational exposure)- whether I worked full-time or part-time- the category of work that my spouse did- my name (to verify the call to her supervisor)Please see the following links for more information:http://www.ab.lung.ca/~ablung/site/october_20_2009http://www.edmontonsun.com/news/alberta/2009/10/21/11471061-sun.htmlhttp://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-778-785-4549I have called my local RCMP, updated the local Lung Association (as they are named in the Alberta scam) and emailed phonebusters.com.
