just got a call from an unknown number asking the same questions, any smokers, any allergies, so i recycle, do i own or rent, what do i do for a living, what does my husband do for a living ect..... hung up i was feeling uncomfortable about the personal nature of the questions.

Got tricked! They called and I gave the info they asked for. Had ethnic accent. (woman) Called the next day and it was a very pushy man! I wasn't ready for him! I managed to book an appointment to get my "free" knives and a presentation. I tried to call back---busy signal. I finally found the business name and a reachable phone number! Breathe EZ homes, AKA (403) 214-1446. I called this number and asked them to cancel my appointment and take me off their call list. They were actually polite, probably since I was so irrate. SCAM SCAM SCAM! I wish I knew how they got my number!!

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.

SPT environmental research.  After pressing as to why her number doesn't show up and to be removed from her call list, she pretended to not hear me and eventually hung up.  I can't block the caller because a number - v11132300290108 shows up.  What is the point?  How do people make money off of this scam?

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.

I just got the same phone call and was totally caught off guard. I was asked the same type of questions pertaining to whether I recycle, what line of work I was in,whether it was fulltime or part time, how long I have lived at my residence and what my first name was. I asked where the woman on the other end of the phone was from and she said that she was from the Philipines. I asked what her number was and the name of the company.She said that it was (403) 648-2643 and that she was calling on behalf of a local Hmailton Independent Consumer Trends Survey. She said that they would be calling back tomorrow for my address and a chance to win a prize. I told her not to bother and not call again once I finally caught on to this skam. I called my local phone provider and they told me that if I were to receive the call again to press *57 on my phone and immediatley call the police so that this number could be traced. I called the 403-648-2643 number back and a woman answered saying she was from the Philipines but that she had a daughter in Australia. Ironically,my credit cards had been recently compromised and there was a charge on one of them for a plane ticket to Sidney, Australia. I have called the police and the Canadian  Anti-Fraud Centre with reference to this situation.
