I am getting a bunch of calls from them too. If it is a scam, as it seems to be... it's been going on a while. Maybe I'll pick up next time they call and get to the bottom of this.

I am getting calls from this number constantly.  Even on Sundays!!!  Apparently they claim to be associated with ScotiaBank.  I tell that i deal exclusively with my branch, but it doesn't seem to sink in.

Received a couple calls from this number in the past month. Each time I answer there is nothing and then it starts ringing as if I am placing a call. The first time this happened I let it ring a couple times and a girl answered. Every other time I just ignore the calls.

optima communications 144 front st. toronto M5J2L7 (416) 581-1236 call them and tell them to stop. or mail them a letter. it's an organization trying to take your money. report them.

This is actually a sales call trying to get people to buy Scotiabank insurance .
