When someone starts out lying about who she is representing I hang up and contact the boys over at the agency. They will be paying them a visit. Tick, tock.

Long survey about Global Warming, (probably the control question that they throw out), Financial planning, media, (asked about four big pay cable companies and Netflix) and the obligatory personal statistical data. Seemed to be a straightforward legit survey, but I wonder if it would have gone differently if I had cable or was upper middle class, because there appeared to be some "break points" in her flow chart where my answers seemed to throw her off for a second.
Jan.2/12@8:18pm - this number called earlier today, no message left. Just spoke with lady - sound like Mexican accent? Says they are from DataPro, doing a survey of numbers in the 905 (Ontario) area. Said they will not use any personal data collected, it is only for consolidated data. I asked how long it would take - she said 10 minutes; I consented. She logged my phone number - and then hung up!
An earlier week, same number called - for survey for males under the age of 18. I said 'No' - they hung up. A male voice - but I could swear I was talking to a computer voice replicator.
DataPro is a U.S.-based survey company, so have no idea why they are calling Canadians. Will note to the CRTC and PhoneBusters - just in case. U.S. companies use their legistation but do NOT respect our privacy laws!
Received two calls from 741-551-5502 and one call from 741-551-5501 - both saying "Orange County Area". Not sure why they called, no vm's. Assuming scam.
