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 and lifted reciever and no one there. Didn't wait for an operator or messageObvious scamming call

Got a call a few minutes ago, 10:15 a.m. Ontario time, they asked for my husband by his first name only, and I said he wasn't here.  No message she said and hung up.  Read the posts about RBC, but he doesn't do the banking.  He's not been inside of a bank in 5 years.  I do it all.  Strange.

As has been suggested previously this appears to be a call from survey firm Market Probe.  I called (416) 233-1555 and asked to be put on the "do not call list".  The guy at the other end was very courteous and prompt.  I still hate call centre operations, but as they go I don't think this one is anything to worry about.  For those who have received calls from this number that sound really scammy - and there are apparently a few described in these posts - remember that any boiler room phone scammer can spoof just about any caller ID.  Faking the ID of a legit market survey firm is a logical thing for a scammer to do.

getting many calls from this number - no one there when I pick up, no messages left if I don't answer.Reverse look up shows no one has that number.

I have been receiving calls from this number for the last two days. The first time I didn't answer. The second time I did, and it was a girl on the other side. She asked for me by my full name, and then hung up. Considering my phone is a cell phone, how the hell did this person get my number. I called back the number, and at first I got the busy signal, then I got ringing, but no answer!!! Any body have any idea who this person is?

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.
