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.

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.

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.

I just got a call from a blocked number. The caller (female) said she was with "SPT" conducting an environmental survey.I asked her what SPT stands for and she said it doesn't stand for anything.I asked her what kind of work they do and she said they conduct enviormental studies for Canadian companies.I asked her if she could give me some examples of companies that they work with and she replied, "No I can't, because we don't have any regular clients."I asked her where their headquarters were located and she said "Manila."I asked her if they have any locations in Canada and she said "no."I asked her if they do any work outside of Canada and she said "no." (Aside: yet they have no locations in Canada?)I asked her what the address of their location in Manila was, and she said, "It's in Manila, sir."I asked her if they have a website and she said "just search for SPT." I asked her if they had a URL and she said, "to be honest, sir, we do not."Honestly would have been appreciated from the start, not only after she was pressed for answers. Anyways, definite scam.

Same thing happened to me this eve. The man with an accent I couldn't recognize zoomed through a series of questions:
Do I smoke, if I was married, where I work, how long I worked there, if I recycle, my first name etc.
When I insisted he give me the name of the firm he was calling from he said he was from "SPT Demographic Research." I googled this name, but it brings up a number of different pages, so I'm not sure which it is or if it is even one of them.
When I asked what the firm's phone number was, he said it was (403) 648-2643. I called this number, but it comes up as a number that doesn't exist. But the area code is an Oklahoma area code. Interesting considering I live in Canada.
How do I report this scam?

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.
