Received a call from this # this morning. No Caller Id was on the display only the number. When I answered the women on the line asked if she was talking to "and she referenced the name on a bank account". I asked who she was and why she was calling she said she was doing a survey for the RBC. Told her never to call again and hung up. Contacted RBC to report and they indicated that there should be no survey calls on their behalf unless its to follow-up on something related to the account. Just a heads up this is probably a scam how they got the account name (it's very unique) is beyond me.

I too received a call from this number (416) 233-0047. The person was just breathing through the phone which sounded very scary and I said “hello!” two times and I hang up. I went online to reverse the number to see who it is; I see that a lot of other people also have received strange phone call from this number.

The best thing to do is to call the police and report his/her sorry ass. Which I did, I wrote an email and report it through phone. If everyone here to do what I did, I am sure he will put back in jail where he belongs.

I'd researched this number online to see if was a telemarketing call....Glad I did!They keep calling my cell phone. And they never leave a message when I don't answer.

It is from Market Probe.

The guy responsible for all the telemarketers is:
Senior Vice President, Research and Operations: Mr. Tim McCutcheon, M. A. home address and phone: (416) 439-3872. 733 Scarborough Golf Club Rd. Toronto
He is also on Linketh

Get calls from these numbers all the time.  Last time my wife and I were watching tv and afetr I said hello they wanted to talk to her and when I asked why she said for an important survey.  There was a pause on the phone as I composewd myself and let out the loudest belch I could muster (roflol) both my wife and I for 2 minutes solid tears streaming down our faces from the laughter then I quickly clicked the phone.  Figured they wouldn't call back

Madam,I am an employee at said compay we are very much legit we represent RBC they are the ones who prepare the survey and give us stricked guide lines to adhare to . The reason that sometimes there is a pause or silenece on the phone is that Virtual Call Centre program which is our autodilaler is not the newist of systems and often malefunctions , this being said it chimes when your number comes up on my screen and your info along with your telephone number the bank has on it file comes up . We can only speak to the person listed regardless if its joint if the person who picks up the phone is not listed we can not proceed and we make a call back appoiment with the calander section option at the bottom of our screen usually for the next day unless indcated by the customer otherwise. IF you want to speak to a live person aka a supervisior you can call (416) 233-8548 and speak to our receptionist Roanne who will the director your call to one of our daytime supervisiors Bradley or Helen during the day or our night time supervisors at 228 # Daniel , Renee ,Rachelle , or Fraser or Anne or Maya and they can put you on our dnc list . As for dnc list that does not apply to Market research surveys because we are not selling you anything or trying to get personal account info off of you ,I hope this has help and again we our ligit and on behalf of Market PRob we apologize for any innconvience we have caused you.Sincerely your,Market prob employee.

My RBC Account Manager told me that I would be receiving a call from the survey company mentioned and sure enough the number that appeared on the phone matches the other post's comments.

Keep getting called no one there.

got a call from (416) 233-0047.  it is a company called Market Probe Canada (easy to find on the web) and they are infact a company working on behalf of RBC but they are extremely unprofessional and hung up on me when I asked that the number be removed from the calling list and like everyone else they avoided me calling them. After some extensive research on the net I have found this number(416) 233-1555 ...call this number to have your number removed from the list and be sure to get the name of the person who takes your request and his/her extension or operator number.you could also try calling market probe themselves 1.(416) 487-4144and asking for the president or the senior vice president. And with a few clicks of the computer it was easy to find the home phone number of the Senior vp !! (not smart on his behalf!)

Have had this number call numerous times this week...I've already blocked the number on my phone so that when it calls, it rings 1/2 a ring and then they get a message that says we are not answering this number...very cool.  Hopefully RBC is doing something about this if it is calling people on their behalf.  Very annoying.
