Same thing happened to me this eve. The man with an accent I couldn't recognize zoomed through a series of questions:Do I smoke, if I was married, where I work, how long I worked there, if I recycle, my first name etc.When I insisted he give me the name of the firm he was calling from he said he was from "SPT Demographic Research." I googled this name, but it brings up a number of different pages, so I'm not sure which it is or if it is even one of them.When I asked what the firm's phone number was, he said it was (403) 648-2643. I called this number, but it comes up as a number that doesn't exist. But the area code is an Oklahoma area code. Interesting considering I live in Canada.How do I report this scam?

Ugh. I just got the same call as Margaret in Winnipeg. It seemed harmless to me - questions about pets, recycling, own your home...I was rude to him the whole time, but I played along with his questions. I can't wait to see if I win the daily prize...NOT.

I just got a call from a blocked number. The caller (female) said she was with "SPT" conducting an environmental survey.I asked her what SPT stands for and she said it doesn't stand for anything.I asked her what kind of work they do and she said they conduct enviormental studies for Canadian companies.I asked her if she could give me some examples of companies that they work with and she replied, "No I can't, because we don't have any regular clients."I asked her where their headquarters were located and she said "Manila."I asked her if they have any locations in Canada and she said "no."I asked her if they do any work outside of Canada and she said "no." (Aside: yet they have no locations in Canada?)I asked her what the address of their location in Manila was, and she said, "It's in Manila, sir."I asked her if they have a website and she said "just search for SPT." I asked her if they had a URL and she said, "to be honest, sir, we do not."Honestly would have been appreciated from the start, not only after she was pressed for answers. Anyways, definite scam.

Oops. i meant "prize"

Got a call Saturday night - I demanded that the caller identify herself by ID number and she refused.  Got angry when I persisted and eventually hung up on me!  Before hanging up she had a man come on the call.  My advice is take control of the conversation and:  1. clearly state to them that the conversation is being recorded and when they acknowledge that then 2.  state that you are registered with the government on the Do Not Call List and that the recording will be forwarded to the government along with their ID/name.  
Be persistent about asking for their ID and tell them repeatedly that you want to be taken off their call list and eventually they will hang up on you
