Just got the same call over two nights. Before giving any info I asked for their number and Clarice said I was entered into a draw on september 17 for $500 for any store!!!! They also said I won either a trip for two or a Slapchop. I said I would take the slapchop and she said that's great ... Its what most people take!!!! Anyways I got their number and she said her company was Meditech group which was weird cuz the survey yesterday was about recycling. Anyways I have no intention of calling back but thought I would still report it

Got a call Saturday night - I demanded that the caller identify herself by ID number and she refused. Got angry when I persisted and eventually hung up on me! Before hanging up she had a man come on the call. My advice is take control of the conversation and: 1. clearly state to them that the conversation is being recorded and when they acknowledge that then 2. state that you are registered with the government on the Do Not Call List and that the recording will be forwarded to the government along with their ID/name. Be persistent about asking for their ID and tell them repeatedly that you want to be taken off their call list and eventually they will hang up on you

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.

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.

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.
