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

Relax everyone this is a legitimate survey company and they are calling on behalf of RBC, I just did the survey and NO personal questions were asked, it was strictly using a number rating on my recent visit to an RBC branch and how the staff did. I personally prefer being called for a survey, it was fast and efficient. I hate doing email surveys and I do not have time to complain if I feel I am getting crap treatment, this way is anonymous and they will ask if they can share your survey with the company at the end and you can say no if you do not want the staff to know it was you. Since RBC has been using Market Probe I notice a huge difference in service in my branch; it went from meh service to great service in a matter of a few months. Too bad more companies do not do this.

This number has been harassing me for days. When I pick up - no answer on other end. Has to be telemarketing!!!!! These guys are a pain in the...... Wish they would at least be nice enough to leave a message if no one answers. These guys are more than annoying!!!!!!

got call with this number..saying rbc and put down the call.they call everyday sametime.not answering anymore.

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.

We got the first call at 845 pm and told them to call back the next evening.  I investigated the number found this posting and decided to have fun.  When they called back for my wife they told her they were calling to do a survey for royal bank.  I told her to ask for a call back number.  The woman on the other end said she didnt know the number.  My wife asked how she could work for a company and not know their phone number?  The woman advised they have 2 numbers so my wife asked for either one.  the woman said she didnt know.  When she asked to speak to her supervisor she was told none were available.  So my wife said dont ever call back.  lets see what happens
