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.

stop calling

I got this call and they asked for my boyfriend. When i said "no he's not here, who is calling" the man on the phone only said "Chris". I was put off and said "sorry who?" He again just said "Chris". I then asked "Chris from where? What company are you calling from?" And he he just said "oh" and hung up on me.

One more thing about the National Do Not Call list: there are EXEMPTIONS."The exemptions include calls made by, or on behalf of:- Canadian registered charities;- Political parties, riding associations and candidates;- Newspapers of general circulation for the purpose of soliciting subscritions;- Organizations with whom you have an existing business relationship;- A company that you have provided express consent to be called; and- Organizations conducting market research, surveys, or public opinion polls."www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/cofi-fico-eng

I have worked for RBC and know that they only use 800 numbers when calling people. Don't believe them if they say it's RBC, just report it to your local branch or go on their website and you'll find an 800 number for fraud marketing calls.I got this call too but didn't pick it up. If they call again I'm going to answer and tell them I am reporting them.

I also have recieved 3 calls from this number.  I don,t answer it and don't get any messages.  When I try to call back, no one answers.I am reffring this number to the police, here in Sherbrooke, Qc.  I will also notify Bell of this phone number.
