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

I have been receiving calls from this number for the last two days. The first time I didn't answer. The second time I did, and it was a girl on the other side. She asked for me by my full name, and then hung up. Considering my phone is a cell phone, how the hell did this person get my number. I called back the number, and at first I got the busy signal, then I got ringing, but no answer!!! Any body have any idea who this person is?

This IS a legitimate number from a Market Research company.  If you do not want to be contacted by them in the future, you need to ANSWER THE PHONE and ask them nicely to add you to their internal Do Not Call list.  You can't blame them for doing their job (aka repeatedly trying to give you an opportunity to have your voice heard). Be kind to market researchers - they're not trying to harass you, but they do want to give you an opportunity to have your say.

I just got a call from this number at work.  They were looking for the person who had been in contact with a purolator driver in the last couple of da;ys.  When I told them they needed to be more specific about times, as we have several people who might have, they just hung up.

No point calling it back. We couldn't carry out the survey on an inbound call. Just wait and we'll call you again soon enough!

thank you anonymous...I call the number you suggested and requested my number to be put on their do not call list.  They complied.  Thanks again!

just answered the call from this number - a man asked for my daughter and when I indicated that she was not home and could I take a message, he answered " that will not be necessary".  Totally creeped me out - glad to see this is not a one-off.
