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.

Oops. i meant "prize"

Came in as "unknown name/unknown number" (I googled to find this).  Yep, SPT from Manilla, couldn't tell me what SPT stands for, said the website was SPT.com (redirects to an unrelated insurance site), didn't speak English beyond his script, got confused and hung up.  Whatever.  They've learned that the Do No Call list doesn't apply to surveys, so they're claiming to do one to get their foot in the door, so to speak.

The one time I respond to a survey (I'm in Winnipeg) and it turns out to be scammers! (From what others are saying.) The info on this site is useful; now I know I'll probably get a follow-up call. I only answered the phone because I was waiting for a long-distance business call and that showed up on the screen - it wasn't till I hung up that I saw the number didn't show up on my phone, just "long distance." But thought I'd finally be nice to a survey worker (it's not a fun job; I've done it) and only realized something was up when it was too late: she'd said she was taking my number off the list immediately and she'd never call me for another survey, but then said I might win a prize. I started to ask her how the heck they'd contact me if I "won," since she said she's just said she was removing my number from their records right now, and she ended the call abruptly.

Have you contacted them?
