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

Got called from this number several times in the past week. ?I didn't answer and they never left voicemails.

i got a call on my cell phone from the number 233-272-916707  i know it dosnt look like a normal number its too long so when i try to look it up to see whos number it is it gives me nothing because its too long

This number has been calling my cell phone for the past week, on business hours, so I was working and couldn't answer. Today they called on a SATURDAY! around noon and when I answered, no one said anything.Just to piss them off I called back probably about 25 times... just let my phone ring on speaker while doing other things for a while. Never an answer. Then I found the number for Market Probe Canada on here and called them. I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor. He told me he was the manager, but didn't sound convincing so I had him spell out his first and last name for me. I told them to put me on the Do Not Call List but also asked why they are calling so often. He told me they do survey's. So I said "what does it accomplish to hang up in peoples ear? Nobody says anything when I answer, I don't consider that a survey" and he said "well, it's a computerized device that keeps calling over and over, not a person" so I said "I just don't see the point in having a computer dial peoples numbers without getting any answers or anything, it is absolutely pointless, just extremely annoying" and he started stuttering and mumbling, saying the same thing he already told me, with not much of an explanation. I asked how he got my cell phone number. He said probably from RBC so call and ask them to put you on a Do Not Call List as well. It is so annoying!!!

I keep getting calls from this number too!  I live in Victoria, BC.  I haven't answered yet, but after reading this I'm going to answer and give the person on the other end an ear-full.

As has been suggested previously this appears to be a call from survey firm Market Probe.  I called (416) 233-1555 and asked to be put on the "do not call list".  The guy at the other end was very courteous and prompt.  I still hate call centre operations, but as they go I don't think this one is anything to worry about.  For those who have received calls from this number that sound really scammy - and there are apparently a few described in these posts - remember that any boiler room phone scammer can spoof just about any caller ID.  Faking the ID of a legit market survey firm is a logical thing for a scammer to do.

If you don't want to receive calls from RBC simply discuss your wishes with them and they will adjust your profile to reflect your desires.
