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.

Sample complaints we have found for (416) 233-0047
It's not their fault
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.

This number which shows from Ontario calls me several times this week but I never answer and decline it directly many times, but it still keeps calling.

This number has been calling me several times, and never responds when I try calling the number back. They don't leave a name or voicemail, all I know is that it is an Ontario number.
Debbie Bentley
I share your sentiment....I'm sick of gettin' this same phone call on my fricken cell phone no less. Only thing is I don't answer and they never leave any voicemail. Go buddy....through the other side and stuff the sh** down their f***ing throats. Have a good one. D
