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

Thanks for the contact info in the above post. I got the call from (416) 233-0047 same thing as others I called and demanded to be removed from their list -we will see.Thanks

Received a call from this number at 8PM tonight. There was only the silence on the other end. I said "Hello" a couple of times, then they hung up on me. Tried to call them back from my cell to find out what they wanted, but the number was always busy. Will try later on. Probably pull a little prank on them by saying that I'm really interested in their product or whatever they do over there. After asking for all the small details I'll say "No". BTW, my number is unlisted as well.PS: when you get a number from your telephone provider, it doesn't mean it's unknown to anyone. My phone used to belong to someone named Stokes. I still get calls now and then, when people ask for him. All the best to everyone...

Or you can do like I did...Call your phone company and have them block the calls.OR you can get an answering machine that blocks phone numbers like mine...Blocksall long distance calls.

Get calls from these numbers all the time.  Last time my wife and I were watching tv and afetr I said hello they wanted to talk to her and when I asked why she said for an important survey.  There was a pause on the phone as I composewd myself and let out the loudest belch I could muster (roflol) both my wife and I for 2 minutes solid tears streaming down our faces from the laughter then I quickly clicked the phone.  Figured they wouldn't call back

looks like this last reply may work for one of these outbound call centers, well lady, or man, get a f *en life, we very busy people have more to do with our time than sit around doing some survey that will take an hour to complete, listening to some stupied a** on the phone ramble on.  Loss our numbers, get a real job, and get a life, stop bothering us people.so you think you are the only people who put theirself through school, i did all by myself, and while i was doing it i didn't have to bother anyone.Don't you people just get the f*** hint.GO AWAY!

I just got it 5 min ago.I called back..Nobody answered.
