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.

I got a call from this number, they were doing a feedback/stat research project for the BC government about the Job Options Program I attended a year ago. Collecting feedback about the program.

Ya phuck

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

Sadly, 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. Data from these surveys, known as 'Foodbook', are being collected to complement timely and effective foodborne illness outbreak response

Okay the caller is from Contact Resource Services in Ontario, I received a call at 10:00 A.M. Atlantic time from this number which is a Victoria Number. I suspect they are using masking software to hide the number they are really calling from, the company is known for its reported illegal tactics and specializing in purchasing very very old debts and trying to collect in many cases they don't even have the correct number or persons. They have already been given the boot in Alberta http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/pdf/under ... _Sept-29-10.pdf and started using this number after a complaint was filed regarding them still using Alberta numbers. Looks like they want to open up shop in B.C. now as they are running out of provinces http://ca.indeed.com/Contact-Resource-Services-jobs-in-Victoria,-BC tactics include Harassing family members, constantly calling in spite of ....  When I look the number up it says it belongs to Malatest and Associates but I recognized the voice and the speech and he is with Contact Resource Services. Be careful because this same company was also phoning about problems with your computer and then I suspect if you fell for the gag they would lock up your system after you gave them access(if anyone was dumb enough to fall for the give me access to your computer gag).Contact Resource Services Inc.
