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

im on the do not call list and they are still calling.

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.

(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

I live in Vancouver...  I go this Phone CALL 1-(416) 233-0047 right after I got 1-231-732-2879.1-231-732-2879 SOUNDS like those shopping TV ads..  " wow, you are so LUCKY.  you won a discount trip to CanCUN.. 6 days and 9 nights"WTF.. It sounds too GOOD to be TRUE..I wish I can f***ing reach into the microphone part of the PHONE and stuff tons of LOAD of S**T down his F***ING throat.!!!

Received a call from this number at 8PM tonight. There was only the silence on the other end. I said "Hello" a couple of times, then they hung up on me. Tried to call them back from my cell to find out what they wanted, but the number was always busy. Will try later on. Probably pull a little prank on them by saying that I'm really interested in their product or whatever they do over there. After asking for all the small details I'll say "No". BTW, my number is unlisted as well.PS: when you get a number from your telephone provider, it doesn't mean it's unknown to anyone. My phone used to belong to someone named Stokes. I still get calls now and then, when people ask for him. All the best to everyone...
