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

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 got the same call, and was seriously annoyed!! He said it was for an environmental survey for my city. When he asked me all these random questions pissed and asked to speak to a supervisor and of coarse there wasn't one to talk to. I asked for the number to the office and the number he gave me was (403) 648-2643 I asked him where he was calling from and he said the Phillipenes.(sp?).....lol I told them under no circumstances were they to contact me with a "prize" that I may win, which I obviously know it's just going to be to sell me stuff. Don't waste your time on the "survey"
