Received call from this no. at 12.23 pm in BC. No voice or message. Reverse Phone Lookup suggests no such number for either a business or person, but it's showing clearly in my list of calls received. No. is in Montreal.

1:49 P.M. CST in Saskatoon, SK, Canada received call from this number.  When I called it back thre was just the rapid beep of a forwarded number.  Suspicious.....left no message...

Well, I listened through the message so I can enlighten you all about this scam.....

First - I've had numerous calls from various area codes in Washington state with this same scam. It is being run all over the US and Canada. This is my first call for the Canadian version, however.

It goes this way....If you would please answer a few questions on our survey you will get a free cruise. OKAY .... that should alert almost every human that this is a criminal scam. Imagine the cost per participant to carry out this "survey". Impossible for any legitimate researcher! So the scammers must be after something else and guess what it is....you got it...your credit card info. To get the cruise, you will have to give a cc number to the criminals.

After taking this bogus survey (more about that later), I was congratulated on my stellar performance and told to stay on the line so I could be transferred to someone who would give me my cruise. However, all I got was a busy signal. Too bad, I was all set to give a venomous spew of profanity to the person who answered.

The survey questions are complex (the style is complex not the subject matter) and this is a big no-no for any real survey. These people are running a scam and have zero interest in your opinion about anything. The questions are about current politics (the US version is about US politics and many Canadians are being contacted about it which only makes them more suspicious - why does the US care about Canadian views??)

So bottom line....keep your distance from these criminals. And remember, there are no free lunches (or cruises, or airmile points, or Walmart club points , or ........)

They informed me i had won a free cruise.. i hung up

Just received a phone call from this number in Ontario on Thurs July 19 at 10:38am.  When I said hello,they hung up.
