How to test if a class receives a message in RSpec?

I have a service object something like:

class SecurityQueryService
  class Contract::NotFound < StandardError; end

  attr_reader :ticker_name, :contract_type, :contract

  def initialize(user, params)
    @user          = user
    @ticker_name   = params[:ticker_name].upcase
    @contract_type = params[:type]
  end

  def call
    find_contract
  end

  private

  def find_contract
    @contract ||= contract_klass.find_by(ticker: ticker_name)
    fail(
      Contract::NotFound,
      "Cannot find contract with ticker_name #{ticker_name}"
    ) if @contract.nil?
  end

  def contract_klass
    return EquityContract if contract_type.nil?
    "#{contract_type.strip.capitalize}Contract".constantize
  end

end

And I have the following related spec:

require 'spec_helper'

describe SecurityQueryService do
  let(:user) { create(:customer) }
  let!(:equity_contract) { create(:equity_contract) }

  describe "#call" do
    describe "#find_contract" do
      it "returns contract based on contract type." do
        service = SecurityQueryService.new(user, {
          type: 'equity',
          ticker_name: equity_contract.ticker
        })
        service.call
        expect(EquityContract).to receive(:find_by)
      end    
    end
  end

end

I want to make sure EquityContract receives a find_by message whenever I call #call.

At the moment when I run the spec I get:

 Failure/Error: expect(EquityContract).to receive(:find_by)
   (EquityContract(id: integer, ticker: string, name: string, country: string, currency: string, instrument_type: string, bloomberg_ticker: string, benchmark_index: string, skip_valuation: boolean, isin: string, currency_factor: decimal, daily_update: boolean, id_bb_unique: string, image: string, domain: string) (class)).find_by(*(any args))
       expected: 1 time with any arguments
       received: 0 times with any arguments

How can I test this behaviour?
