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

This is crazy - I'm getting 3x calls a day - I've not picked up - they are like clockwork with the times they call - once in the day and 2 in the evening!

It is legitimate. It is a market research company hired by RBC to follow up with customers who have had appointments with their branches. They knew when, who, which branch etc of my recent meeting. Relax, not everything is a scam and surveys never leave a message. FYI.

they're still doing it many years on

(416) 233-0047 called last evening (November 24, 2009) around 6:15 p.m. - used my first name. It was disturbing. They didn't identify who they were, why there were calling or how to get back in touch with them. Used *69 to get the number - we don't have caller ID (the charge will appear on my phone bill). 1st call back - line busy, next 2 call backs no answer! We're on the national "do not call list" - guess this company/person doesn't subscribe to it!

Have been receiving calls from this number every evening around 6 PM, Newfoundland time. Only once (last night) did I pick up the phone. The female caller asked to speak to me by name, which really miffed me as I have a fu¢king UNLISTED number and an old-fashioned LAND LINE!!!For the record:I'm in St. John's, NFLD.I am with Bell Aliant.

they told me i had to pay off this debt or they would send someone to my hous and do some god awful things if i did not pay what i owed them in 24 hours
