I got calls similar to these experienced by others, but I have not checked the origin of the call.I could not believe there are people like this out there, and the extend to which they would go to pull a scam like this.I got a follow-up call from the same outfit today. The lady spoke in perfect english without any accent so I suspect the call came from a local location. The lady sounded really nice at first, and said to have some great news since my name has been entered into a draw for $25,000 cash prize. In addition, I have been chosen to receive some fabulous daily give aways. Before I had a chance to turn it down, she went on to describe 3 fabulous gifts ... a slap-chop set, some electronic stuff, and etc. I patiently waited for her to stop talking and finally she asked " so which one will it be?". I politely said to her that I would like to pass.At this point, I guess she realized that she has blown her cover ... and that I knew she is involved in a scam. That's when her tone took a turn and one could actually feel the coldness in her voice/tone.She pressed me to tell her my address so I could receive the fabulous prizes. I insisted that I am not interested in those "prizes".She then hang up abruptly ...

hey i hate dat survey!

Have gotten a few calls about an "environmental survey."  I asked for the company name, she said SPT, her name was Trixie.  When I asked for the number that she's calling from she gave me my own number.  I said, "that's my phone number, I would like the number YOU are calling from please.  She then hung up on me.

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 this call too.  Did anything come from it?  I'm nervous now.

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.
