CRC Research (formerly the Consumer Research Centre) has been informed by a
number of individuals that they have been receiving calls from an agency that
identifies themselves as the ‘Consumer Research Centre.’ These calls are coming
from overseas and are primarily targeting individuals in the United Kingdom.
CRC Research is asking any person who has been a target of calls to understand
that we are not responsible for the hang-ups and consistent harassment that many
have experienced. We are a Canadian company and a Gold Seal Certified member of
the Market Research and Intelligence Association. This is a professional
organization whose members are committed to the highest ethical standards and
specifically to a Respondent Charter of Rights.
These calls are not coming from our company “Consumer Research Centre” which is
based in Vancouver, BC Canada. We are a market research company who recruits
solely in Canada and the United States. We do not make calls to the UK nor do we
hire outside market research companies to represent us to do so.
We suspect that this other company is attempting to sell people something and
only pretending to do a survey. Bona fide market research companies recognize
that it is a privilege to collect information from the public and we go to great
lengths to ensure that our staff are fully trained and that they treat people
with courtesy and respect at all times.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at
info@consumerresearch.ca or by telephone at 1-866-455-9311.
