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?

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.

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

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?

got a call tonight from (604) 998-8841 - thought they said they were from ESEO???Asked the usual questions as per above recycling, smoker ect ... her name was Michelle, when we got to the end end she asked for my name. When I refused to provide a name she said I had to supply one. I explained it was a survey and no name was required. She actually argued with me when I told it was MRS. and refused to give her one. After telling her she could use MRS or nothing and terminated the call, she called me back ??? Since the time was now 9:04 EST I picked up the phone saying "Michelle, the time is now 9:04 EST and you are in violation of Ontario calling laws put your manager on the line." She pretended she could not hear me and terminated the call - lol - will definitely get more info if they call again --- by the sounds of it from previous post I will most likely hear from them again

I just got the same phone call and was totally caught off guard. I was asked the same type of questions pertaining to whether I recycle, what line of work I was in,whether it was fulltime or part time, how long I have lived at my residence and what my first name was. I asked where the woman on the other end of the phone was from and she said that she was from the Philipines. I asked what her number was and the name of the company.She said that it was (403) 648-2643 and that she was calling on behalf of a local Hmailton Independent Consumer Trends Survey. She said that they would be calling back tomorrow for my address and a chance to win a prize. I told her not to bother and not call again once I finally caught on to this skam. I called my local phone provider and they told me that if I were to receive the call again to press *57 on my phone and immediatley call the police so that this number could be traced. I called the 403-648-2643 number back and a woman answered saying she was from the Philipines but that she had a daughter in Australia. Ironically,my credit cards had been recently compromised and there was a charge on one of them for a plane ticket to Sidney, Australia. I have called the police and the Canadian  Anti-Fraud Centre with reference to this situation.
