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.

J'ai recu un appel hier soir vers les 20h30 pm , un homme voulait parler a ma femme , je lui ai demandé a quelle sujet ? Il ma répond que c'était confidentiel et il connaissait le nom complet de ma femme... Je lui ai demandé comment il avait mon numéro de téléphone cellulaire et comment il connaissais le nom de ma femme puisque qu'elle est au canada que depuis seulement 2 mois et quelle parle même pas francais ni anglais. Je lui ai demandé de me dire pour quelle compagnie il travail actuellement et c'est quoi qui veut a ma femme. Il ne ma jamais donné de réponse seulement que c'est renseignement son confidentiel et que si ma femme ne parle pas francais qu'il n'était plus nécessaire de lui parlé maintenant. Il mentionnait que c'était a propos de service quelle aurait reçu et je lui demandait quelle service vous parlé ? J'attendait d'autres personnes parlé en arrières de lui comme des gens dans une salle qui solicite au téléphone. Ma femme a ouvert un compte dans une succursalle RBC il y a quelques semaines, je vais communiquer avec eux pour savoir comment le nom de ma femme et ces coordonnées sont accessible si facilement c'est pas supposé d'être confidentiel ces renseignements ?????

You are a Market Researcher, it's your job - that you get paid for - to research.  It's my right to tell you that I want my peace and privacy and don't want to be disturbed again.  What's wrong with Market Probe Canada calling?  Not much, they're just another annoying research/survey company.  But when they call using a number that doesn't give the "researched" the convenience to call back and tell them that they don't want to receive calls from them again, that's a problem.  I'm sure if we want our voice to be heard, we will find ways to do so.  I only find it creepy and suspicious when someone from Market Probe Canada called me to perform a client satisfaction survey and this person knows my full name, the name of my company, and also knows that "this is the name registered for the company".  What else does he know?  I don't remember him saying he was doing a survey on behalf of the RBC.  But then I am a client of the RBC!  I did call Market Probe Canada (416) 233-1555, ext 228 for the "supervisor") and left a message to have my number deleted from their call list.  I will also call the RBC and ask them what this is about.  What a waste of time and energy.  Market research should be done in a less annoying manner.  Phoning people doesn't work any more.  All I think of you market researchers and telemarketers is just one word - nuisance!

I called to place a complaint with RBC.  It's not them but a scam trying to get banking info out of you.  File a complaint like me at www.phonbusters.com (it's a federal government agency).

I got the call saying it was some company (the same didn't sound right) conducting a survey on behalf of RBC. It was a young lady on the line.... Someone called RBC about this? What have they done so far?

I got the same call, the young girl asked for my husband.  I told her that he was not home and she hung up!!  Then, the next day they called again.  I asked what it was about and they said they wanted to only speak to my husband about our finances... I told that finances in my household involves me too and I my number is privately listed, so therefore you need to id yourself or remove me from you call list.  She said it was customer service.  I told them I don't want solliciting calls and remove me from your list.
