Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust had a 'survey' phone call (in Canada) where they asked me one minute
of basic questions and then asked if they could call me back should I win a prize. I said "nope". They said "and can we call you back when you win a prize" I said no. They started to get really upset and asked me again for permission to call me back & having to do with winning a prize. I felt bad but was glad I refused to answer "yes" to that questions. Hung up. I don't like being rude. I hope I ended their suffering. I felt bad but I'm over it. Seems they must have been targeting me for some cold callers and must have permission from me to call me again. Those must be the laws in Canada. Maybe my phone number is on a "do not call" list somewhere and they were trying to get me off. Don't know exactly. But if I had said yes there likely would have been gutter cleaning offers from India many times a day in my future. Be warned. I had never heard of such a scam. Don't know the telemarketing laws here. I feel lucky.
