Got a call from this number asking questions about a website that points to a parking page. Caller said was from Labrador Canada. Caller did not identify self. Caller was male. 753 is St. John's Newfoundland Canada phone prefix.
Answered it... asked favorite radio station, after answering caller asked a lot of personal questions, will probably make you uncomfortable, though they did *NOT* ask for banking/credit card info... They mailed a radio diary type survey booklet several days later with a $20 bill enclosed, presumably as a thank you... Company is BBM, a radio and TV audience ratings company according to the company wesbite www.bbm.ca. The survey at the beginning of the booklet meant to glean demographic information. asking # of people in household, ages, your schooling, work field, approx income, how you apent your money in the past week/month, major purchases you plan to make... etc etc etc. may lead to further solicitation through smiliar phone calls/junk mail. Doesn't *seem* to be malicious, but make up your own mind as to if you want to be surveyed in this way.

I got two calls today (January 2, 2008) from the number. They're calling my cell phone which I never answer unless I recognize the number. I googled the number and found this site.
I'm just wondering how a telemarketing company has gotten my cell number?
Getting these calls for the past few weeks. When I'd answer they would hang up. Got the call today, wouldn't say anything at first. Then said hi, they hung up, then they called back and it was a telemarketer who id'd herself as Cindy trying to get money from me for some sort of drug awareness book. I never heard of the book before and I don't care to sponsor it. I told her 4 times that I would not be giving her a red cent. She was trying her best and she was good at what she does. One of the best I've ever talked to. But I'm just too jaded for these sort of things and called her on it. I was bored so I had some mild entertainment and it was a pleasant chat. But anyway I ended off telling her to have a "great weekend" and to take me off their list and ever come back under federal regulations.
