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

As suggested by another respondent, I phoned Market Probe at (416) 233-1555 (who picked up right away) and asked if they operate (416) 233-0047 (which calls daily, never leaves a message and is always busy when I call back). The man said yes and that he could remove me from the call list. I am a new RBC customer so this is a possibility, as others have reported.

Just lodged a complaint on the DNC list here in Canada...

Rec'd call from (416) 233-0047 on my CELL PHONE! at 3:55pm EDT.  When I said hello, all I could hear was the sound of someone typing on a key board, then a busy signal.  I guess the hung-up.Moments before I received a call from a bogus number 1238019.  My guess is both numbers are bogus and used by someone on an IP phone.Ahh, modern technology.

i got a call from these guys no less than 10 times in a day and a half.  i ignored the first 5 then i started answering the next ones to tell them to stop only to find that they didn't even seem to be aware they were calling me.  i could hear background conversations but no one was responding.  then this morning they called again and someone finally asked for me by name.  before they could say anything i told them i was sick of the calls and to not call back.  they hung up without another word.i have only my mortgage with rbc and i already did a survey with them over the phone which was much more legit sounding and professional.  i called rbc anyway and complained and they took my info and said they would look into it.if it was possible to reach through the phone and tear someones f'ing throat out i would have done it to these call center guys a half dozen times already.

I also received a call from this number.  Left no message.  Called back, got a busy signal.
