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 exactly the same thing. They ask for your address and will have your "price" deliver to your door given the permission that you let them try to sell you their products.

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.

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.

Here's the name of the Operations Manager for SPT: Dora Abuaf. Send a message to her facebook account here:  http://www.facebook.com/dora.abuaf

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.
