I received a call from this number a couple of weeks ago stating they were conducting a survey on in home air quality. The questions were strange, but not of any consequence (Does anybody in the home smoke etc.) They didn't ask for any personal information other than my first name so I didn't think much of it.
Today I received a follow up call stating that I had won either a smokeless grill or a trip to Kelowna for a couple of nights but I had to get myself there. My antennae were up... but I just said to give me the grill, and they said they would deliver it at 530 this evening. Afterwards I did a little digging online, and I can't find a single thing indicating that "Campus Tech" is an actual legitimate company. Lots of suspicious job ads on Monster.ca, craisglist and such though that I found through a phone number google search. These ads don't even identify the company and just say to call "Ryan" at this number.
So I phoned them back and told "Allen" that I couldn't find anything to suggest they were legitimate, and requested they keep their grill, remove me from their contact list and never call me again. The response was not what I would expect from a 'real' company... "We are a real company, man, we're pretty big". He said their manufacturer was a company called "Filter Queen" and told me to look them up. I said I wasn't going to bother, he replied by saying "Fine, we'll remove you" and hanging up.
There is something not right about these guys. There is also another thread on here from the phone number 604-287-4008. Obviously these guys have a few 4000 series numbers.

Responded to an ad from craigslist Nov. 21/08 needing two new employees
to help mgr. day to day tasks, phones, running errands, filing, office organization, no experience necessary full benefits after 3 mths
phone 287-4001 I did phone but used *67 so my no. would not show on their
phone. A man answered but spoke very quickly could not understand. Phoned
back again (*67) girl answered and transferred me to beep beep beep finally
I hung up. Ph'd back again asked her Co. name - Campus Technology - said
"she's interviewing someone right now, and then said oh she has gone, transferred me again to the beep beep beep and I hung up. Something wrong
here, thought so when I read the employment ad - to good to be true and then
further checked out the phone no. and Co. name on Google and it reconfirmed
my suspicions
I'm the one the you put the re: to on craigslist. It is a real company but I wouldnt call them that, there Vacuum sales man, that make it sound like someone won a great prize wich isn't true, the vacations is a coupon, so its not totally free. The do this just so they can come to your home and try and make you bye a Vac.
But what happend with me is that his job Ad says office assistant, filing, simple day to day tasks blah blah, But I was chocked after the second day of being there and relizing they wanted me to read a scriped and pretty much lie to people, but thats the thing, they didnt say much about the gifts, I figured it out, I'm not stupid.
I'm sure you could agree that when they called you, you would refer that to being Telemarketing... and that was not the job I thought I applied for. To top it off the guy talks to people like there nothing, heard him screaming and swearing at the girl that was there a year.
Here's a posting a found about this company and what the person went through, its the top one on the page from Aug 08, copy and paste:
In response to the air quality phone call...
Just had one myself...some guy named Rob phoned...and asked the odd questions...his number had come up as Long distance Private caller...I went to google right away to look up the organization on line...
Couldn't find anything from Campus Tech besides this site (800 Notes) where according to what I've read it looks like the identical call made to another person was also made to my home...
I will be aware of and waiting for any further follow-ups, sales pitches, scams etc. Thanks for the information...this kind BS really angers me...
Yes! I got a phone call last night, same thing, stating that they were going to show this morning for a small presentation of their "green" product. They didn't show up...what are they after? The only info I gave them was my home address?
