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.

Below is the message I recieved from Scotiabank about these phone calls:Dear Scott,We have received your inquiry with respect to ScotiaLife Insurance and would like to speak with you directly.  We have Optima Telecommunications calling potential clients on our behalf.  They sell a lot of different products on our behalf:  Accidental Death, Term Life, Hospitalization, Guaranteed Life.  When they do a sale on the phone they have to confirm your name, address, phone number and year of birth.  If you want to be removed from the call list please call us to confirm your details.Please call our Contact Centre at 1-800- 387-9844.

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.

They are bugging me too......  bloody hell.

I have gotten several calls from this number and they don't leave a message.

I don't even deal with Scotia what a freakin' scam
