I just got the same phone call about winning a slapchop or travel voucher as well! Only my number came from 505-0620, exact same spiel tho about air purifiers and when I told them I had researched them online she hung up on me.

I actually didnt get screwed over and made about $1500 in 3 weeks of working there. In the end the hours sucked and i did not like how they went about making their appointments. But whatever. It was fast cash when i was in between jobs.

Very similiar circumstance but the number is supposed to be 778-432-2155 and talked with both Raven and Allie.  They came and did the survey, then called and wanted to make the appointment for Advanced Air supply.  Fortunately, I just read the incidences below and when they showed up I said goodbye, you are a scam.

This time the phone number was 204-505-0620.  Same as above, she mentioned the survey, my name entered into the draw, I had won either a travel voucher or slap chop.  I chose the slap chop.  When she asked me for my address, I said I could come and pick it up.  No, they "hand-deliver" the prizes, a "rep" would come.  This raised a red flag for me, so I said I would have to pass.  I do not want to give my address to people/organizations who I don't know.

Wait until your daughter gets screwed when it comes to getting paid. When all is said and done she will be lucky to have made 5 bucks an hour.

Hi there, my daughter works for this company, they are legit and sell great products, she had brought them over to show me, not for everyone but not your average household vacuum or air cleaner. Just thought I would leave a post, just people trying to sell products.

I received a call yesterday asking if I recalled a survey from a few weeks ago. The girl on the phone talked too fast for my aging brain. I too, thought that I was interviewed by a gov't agency.  When given a choice of two gifts, I chose the free resorts for two nights. The girl mumbled something about delivering the voucher that afternoon and did mention more than once about how their company uses word of mouth. I didn't hear anything about a presentation. Craig McLean was at our front door within the hour and went into a two hour presentation. I am retired from a thirty year career in car sales and still find it fascinating to listen to other sales agents presentations. I let him go on knowing that I'm losing two hours time working in the yard. We have a central vac. He was careful not to knock its value. I suspect he also knew I was judging his presentation. I was. At the end of his visit, he called his Sales Manager to thank me for his time. This so called manager asked what we used and, when I told him, he said it was crap.  That would have killed any deal if I was interested in the first place.
I don't know if you have completed your research, or not.  Hope this helps.
Marvin Fetch.

Survey
Apparently this type of scam is not in ontario...... Got a call to do a survey about smoking and asthma, quick 30 second survey...... told I could get a call in the future for a draw to tank me for my time.... next day, got a call offering 1 of two gifts, slap chop and 3 day 2 night stay anywhere in Canada or US. Opted for the trip.... she asked for my address and spouses name, when we worked.... I gave a some bogus answers as theyd be sending me my prize right? WAIT Ive suddenly been able to have someone come deliver me my prize at no cost to me! Told her I was no longer interested and then SHE hung up..... I reversed the call *69... not available... must have been a blocked number.......

I just got a phone call about a job interview (apparently I applied for these guys on kijiji) and quickly typed in the number to see who was calling. I'm glad I did! I politely declined the job.

I also got a call last week for the same survey, but it was from a different number (I think it came up as "private caller"), who said they might contact me again if I "won a prize". Today the call display said WHS 204-414-1080 and I didn't answer...will block this number!

Survey
I also received a call from them,but after I booked the appointment, I called the police, and I was told not to allow them in my property, and they also asked that I call the anti fraud centre, www.antifraudcentre.ca, 1-888-654-9426.

Afterwards, I called them back, cancelled the appointment,and advised them that the police have been called.

I will report them to the anti-fraud centre ASAP, and I will ensure that they are thrown in prison for a very long time.

Those types of companies should NEVER be operating.

All of you affected by them, make sure that you report them to the anti-fraud agency.

Survey
got a call from them a week ago where they gave me a short 'survey'... questions like 'do you recycle?'  'do you shop for groceries?'

called me back today, told me that i had won a vacation voucher to jasper, or a slap chop.  told them i wasn't interested.

glad i looked it up... they will probably call back again with more 'prizes'...

Survey
I thought this was a scam from the questions they asked.  At the end of the 'survey', the fellow said because I was so nice my name would be entered in a draw for a free gift. I gave him a fake first name so I would recognize the scammers when they called again.  I just received a follow-up call (first call was a few days ago) to inform me my name has been entered into a draw to be held on March 17, so be sure to watch for a follow-up call!!  The name on the call display was WHS so I asked for the company name and what they did.  She explained they dealt in 'air quality systems'.  Hmm, hardly sounds like Filter Queen would be the item they sell.  The company name sounds like Winnipeg Health Authority and I'm sure this is intentional.  I googled the company name as soon as I got off the phone and my hunch was right - this is a huge scam.  No problem, if I have some spare time when they call back to inform me of my 'win', I will lead them on for awhile.

Wow.

It's a good thing I decided to research this company before I went for an interview. I saw that they had an add on kijiji looking to hire 20 people immediately. I called and set up an interview for today at 4pm. I then decided to come online and research the company before my interview. Low and behold this is what i find.

thank you everyone for being extremely up front about their experiences. I wouldn't want to work for a company that operates like this.

and if anyone wants to go give them a demonstration about getting their butts whooped, their address is 74 Myrtle St near Notre Dame and Mcphillips

This all happened to me, since I found out what it was about I cancelled, told them not to come, but they keep calling every single day, sometimes twice, they are so annoying and deceitful the way they went about it too, then throw in the end that someone is coming to show you something, the manager I spoke with was so rude to me, told me he could not cancel appointment, that this was going to mess up everything, then asked why I bothered to make an appointment, what?, said you guys tricked me into it, then when I found out what it was about he made it like I was wrong in cancelling. I may just tell them where to go if they call again...

Received the same call Saturday from WHS 204-414-1080. That I was lucky to have been chosen to receive a "free" gift for my participation in their survey. The choice was the same trip or chopper. I picked the chopper then they asked for my address and then wanted to schedule a time to drop it off.That was when the alarm bells started to go off. Why would they need an appointment to deliver an item worth only a few dollars at best? They wanted to schedule the time for today, which wasn't convenient! Then I did an internet search and found this site. Thank to all who posted their experience it saved me from going any further into this scam.

Thanks again.

About a week ago had a survey regarding recycling. It's the only way I know this is connected, because it said I would be entered into a daily prize. Now, I am a supporter of the Winnipeg Humane Society, and when I saw WHS on our display, I answered foolishly. They said I had won a prize, and that in order to get the prize I would have to have an in house display. My husband told me that this was not right, and I did call them back and canceled. This is definitely a scam.

Foolish me! I let myself being talked into having someone coming by later today. Only then did I google for the phone number and discovered that things might not be as pure as thought. Called the company and cancelled. Yet another number for my ever-growing "do not answer" printed list, hanging next to the phone. B.t.w., I am on the Do Not Call list but that appears to be of limited help. Another lesson learnt.

If you think these people are scamming Joe Public, you would not believe how they scam and cheat their own employees. My son worked for them for about six weeks, 6-7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day for $3000 and had to fight just to get what was owed him. They are nothing but liars, cheats and con artists. If you get a phone call from them, hang up. Don't blame the salesperson because they are being conned more than you are.

Survey
The survey is now about anyone who smokes in your house.  The next day I declined the offer of their free trip or slap chop.  This forum has now confirmed that it is a scam.

Got a call while back, they asked a few questions, hung up and thought, crap, robbers.  They asked about whether or not I recycled, do we have any pets, kinda thing.  S***, I got fooled.  I wasn't honest with the questions anyways, kinda thought something was fishy.  Got a call back today, telling me I won their daily prize of either a trip or the slap chop, but I have to listen to a spiel.  Ok, fine I can deal with that, oh but what times would my hubby and I both be available to listen to this crap.  Slight problem for her, my hubby won't put up with this crap, second is that my hubby and I work different shifts (him mon-fri day shifts, me evening and weekends), not much time left for a stuff like this.  Apparently we both have to listen to this spiel.  Won't happen.  There is apparently a chance of winning a $500 gc for a store of my choice available only on the 17th of March.
