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 a call from (416) 233-0047 at 18:54 Pacific time.answered, but all i heard was a busy office background with typing.the person hung up on after five seconds.

I received a call from this number today.  A young girl called me by my first name that I never use and no last name.  She said she wanted to do a survey with me about RBC.  I told her no and she just said ok and hung up.  I then called my local branch and told them about the call.  Then I called the company associated with the number, Market Probe Canada Phone: (416) 233-1555, and the lady who answered the phone was very nice to talk to.  She said that Market Probe Canada has been hired by RBC and Canadian Tire to make survey calls.  She said that they have a lot of teenagers working for them that are not very professional on the phone.  She apologized to me and said she would remove my number from their system.  She  told me to call Royal Bank 1-800-royal-11 and ask them about Market Probe Canada.  I called the Royal bank 800 number and after a few minutes the guy told me that yes, RBC uses this company for survey information.  I asked him why my number was given out since I am registered to not have calls from RBC.  He said he did not know and that it should not have happened.

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.
