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.

Just got the same call over two nights. Before giving any info I asked for their number and Clarice said I was entered into a draw on september 17 for $500 for any store!!!! They also said I won either a trip for two or a Slapchop. I said I would take the slapchop and she said that's great ... Its what most people take!!!! Anyways I got their number and she said her company was Meditech group which was weird cuz the survey yesterday was about recycling. Anyways I have no intention of calling back but thought I would still report it

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.

On checking further, I found this 2010 decision by the CRTC against a company (Breathe E-Z Homes Ltd.) who used SPT to do surveys just like this (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-572.htm). They got people to agree (or not disagree) to a followup if they won a prize, but they sold that phone list to a company who then used it to target consumers (thus telemarketing, even to people on the DNC). They were fined the ridiculously low sum of $2,000, and either they or another company must have decided it's worth that little bit to try it again. (The website for SPT given in the footnotes no longer exists.)

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