Had 2 calls now from this company, SPT Environmental Research, Heather from (604) 998-8841. Answered her basic questions, however, when she asked my profession i answered Prostitute, my husband is a Mercenary and kills people, although he only works part-time! She said we sound like a hard working couple and should be proud!?!?!? Obviously her english skills only pertain to the script she is reading! Told her i didn't want her "prize" and please remove me from call list as i am on do not call list. She responded that they are a research company and not telemarketer. Another one for call-block.

Had a survey questionnaire asking about clean air quality. The caller (female) said she was calling from the Phillipines. She represented the SPT Research Company for air qualiaty. The number to call back was (403) 648-2643. She said I may have won something for answering the questions and will notify me later. When I called the number somebody answered who couldn't peak English and hung up on me. I called twice. Same thing happened. I answered her questions with vague answers. She had no idea what the company's full name stood for - SPT when I asked her.

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?

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

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.
