I just got a call from these same idiots that for the last month or two have been pestering me 15 to 20 times (I've given up counting), so every day or two (sometimes twice a day). They had been using 519-936-1585, actually spoofing their caller ID from there which would be a London, Ontario area phone number if it were good, which it is not. These calls come from some boiler room/call centre in Costa Rica. They used to identify themselves as "Equity Information Services", then "Equity Survey Services" and this time he was supposed to use some different name (I believe starting with "Information") but slipped up and started to say "Equity".
This "survey" is in fact fake and an attempt to set you up for a later call from someone trying to sell you some wonderful investments that will make you rich. It clearly is some sort of scam. The CRTC DNCL (Do Not Call List) is useless in situations like this. First, the CRTC cleverly exempted survey and polling companies from honouring the DNCL, plus the call comes from Costa Rice.
