TNS Global, a very sketchy consumer survey company.  They REFUSED to add me to a do-not-call list after repeated requests.  So I reported them to the CRTC:  https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/plt-cmp-engClick Continue at the bottom to file a complaint.

It happens when you log on to the Globe and Mail website. I'm American, and never got a single Canadian call until a few days after I started reading the Globe and Mail.  I can't register my number with the Canadian DNC list, so I guess I'm screwed. Meanwhile, tell your friends not to read the Globe and Mail.

receive calls and then mesaages are hang ups, called the number back, it os a compnay called TNS Canadian Facts - email at infocanada @ tns-global.com

Last time they called (for the umpteenth time!), I asked them how long this survey took and was told about 20 minutes.  So I told them I charged at least $25 to $30 an hour for completing such surveys and unless they were willing to pay me, then please don't call back.  We'll see if that works ;-)

The company is TSN Global Market Research, their web site is http://www.tnsglobal.com/ - that domain was registered with the name - Taylor Nelson Sofres plc - using U.K. phone numbers +44-0-20-8967-0007 fax: +44-0-20-8967-4507  --  They are nothing more than a telemarketing parasite that sucks up everybody's time for their own profit. Report them to the CRTC at this site...  www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca  --  TSN Global Market Research uses computerized robot caller so if a rep is not available when you pick up the phone, you simply get dead air. This is for their benefit once again. Everything about these bastards is for their benefit and the hell with the people they harass. They use a multitude of phone numbers such as "(519) 433-3773" and "(514) 935-9864" to appear to be in Toronto or Montreal when in fact they are U.K. based. Don't take it lying down, fight back and report these parasites as I did.
