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.

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?

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
