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 ...

Had a survey questionnaire asking about clean air quality.  The caller (female) said she was calling from the Phillipines.  She represented the SPT Research Company for air qualiaty.  The number to call back was (403) 648-2643.  She said I may have won something for answering the questions and will notify me later.   When I called the number somebody answered who couldn't peak English and hung up on me.    I called twice.  Same thing happened.I answered her questions with vague answers.  She had no idea what the company's full name stood for - SPT when I asked her. How do I report this scam?

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.

Got tricked! They called and I gave the info they asked for. Had ethnic accent. (woman) Called the next day and it was a very pushy man! I wasn't ready for him! I managed to book an appointment to get my "free" knives and a presentation. I tried to call back---busy signal. I finally found the business name and a reachable phone number! Breathe EZ homes, AKA (403) 214-1446. I called this number and asked them to cancel my appointment and take me off their call list. They were actually polite, probably since I was so irrate. SCAM SCAM SCAM! I wish I knew how they got my number!!

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.
