Received call from someone saying they were a representative of Compas Call Center... said they were doing a survey for Remax.... so far we can't confirm it. We felt they were asking questions that were beyond the subject.
I received a couple of calls from this number on Friday, July 11 and this afternoon (July 12) at 1:38 pm.
Last night, at 7:38 pm,when I picked up, there was a very scratchy, static-filled recording playing which asked me whether I was "sick and tired" of being harrassed by calls from creditors. (The answer in my case is "no.") Apparently the caller wanted to relieve my stress and give me my life back. The female voice then referred me to a local number (in Ottawa, Canada) which I am pretty sure was 613-216-5686. I didn't bother dialing it, since I think it would only encourage them.
This afternoon, when they called again I noticed that the caller ID had the words "Sussex Centre," in it. In Ottawa, Sussex Street is the location of luxury shopping venues. Who knows what impression that is intended to make...?
in their survey, they asked me the following questions..!!!
what is your religion?
Do you support Al-Qaida?
Do you support Hamas?
Do you support Hizbullah?
Do you think that the US has done a good job invading Iraq or Afganistan?
etc...
and they said they were asking about my opinion of DEMOCRACY in Canada..!!!
Name display indicates Compas Inc. Based on their website, this company is a public opinion & research firm. Likely calling about the political crisis in Ottawa.
They called at 8:21 PM on Dec. 4, 2008. I do not answer calls from area code 416, as they are always call centres. I do not participate in telephone polls.
