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

The reason they ended the survey was because they filled their quota for your branch. The survey would have included questions about the teller you dealt with and customer service experience.

(416) 233-0047Called the number (416) 233-1555The girl was actually pretty pleasant and due to "CONFIDENTIALITY REASONS" could not tell me who they were calling on behalf of.I laughed... Confidentiality, and meanwhile YOU have my UNLISTED NUMBER and MY NAME.Also told her that if they can NOT dial a phone themselves, then they should not be in this business.I am SO SICK of Computer dialed marketing, I thought that this type of marketing was IllegalThanks to one of the previous post, I have now been taken off their list

Hi guys, I just want to clear a few things up for you annoyed people. 1) If a company calls to do a SURVEY, then the DO NOT CALL LIST DOESN'T APPLY (look it up if you don't believe me, survey companies are exempt)2) If the company calls you and you hang up, they WILL call you back because it's an automated dialer and they have NO control as to how many times you get called a day. That's what automated dialers do.3) It's not the people conducting the surveys fault that you get called, it's the company they are doing the survey for, so no need to be rude to them. They're doing their job, so talk to the company whose PAYING them to do the survey4) It's not a scam, listen to what they say before you cut them off, if they ask for personal information then don't answer the question, but I've taken the call and they don't ask personal questions5) THEY CANNOT REVEAL WHO THE SURVEY IS FOR UNLESS THEY ARE SPEAKING TO THE PERSON ON FILE. (This is for the privacy of the individual, you don't know how many times husbands and wives actually find out their spouse has a secret account, so if the person reveals who the survey is for, it could cause for more problems). This has happened numerous times, so they're doing it to protect the client. 6) Like I said before, it is NOT THEIR FAULT for calling you, it is the company paying them to do the survey, no need to be rude to them, (unless they are rude to you) but hear them out before you hang up or else they will put you down for a call backPS. If they don't answer right away, it's because they are using an automated dialer so it takes a while for them to hear you, so again, that isn't their fault. Just kindly asked to be put on THEIR OWN do not call list, and they should happily oblige.

That same number called me last night, and asked for my first name only (which was odd). I didn't recognize the number or voice (it was a girl) so I said she had the wrong number, and she hung up. No other calls from them so far ...But this does sound like a scam. I've been looking it up, and apparantely, they're doing a 'survey for RBC', yet RBC doesn't work with them.

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!
