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.

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 that one too spt or something Askin if I was  house owner had pets if was a smoker I

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.

Came in as "unknown name/unknown number" (I googled to find this).  Yep, SPT from Manilla, couldn't tell me what SPT stands for, said the website was SPT.com (redirects to an unrelated insurance site), didn't speak English beyond his script, got confused and hung up.  Whatever.  They've learned that the Do No Call list doesn't apply to surveys, so they're claiming to do one to get their foot in the door, so to speak.

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 ...
