Received a call from a guy stating that he was calling from Sun Life. Oddly enough, we have several Sun Life product. The caller knew our name and address and was very aggressive. He INSISTED that we agree to allowing a representative to visit our home for a "presentation" regarding benefits of various types of insurance. Red flags galore!!! When I told him we weren't interested and to remove our name from his list, he became very rude and demanded that we cooperate. I asked to speak to his supervisor. He said that in order to pass the call to his supervisor, I would be required to answer several questions. I advised him that I would not be answering any questions and I demanded to be passed to his supervisor. He kept insisting that we agree to this presentation. I then stated that I would be calling the police and he then put the call through to his "supervisor". The supervisor sounded like he was high on something and I demanded that our name be removed. What a scam.
I just read your message, you'll see my incident below. Yours matches mine exactly but this guy said someone would be in my area tomorrow and wanted to set up an appointment...my question is, and I'm afraid to ask, what exactly is the scam!!?!
just got a call from a fellow with a very heavy accent claiming to be calling on behalf of a financial institution (I believe he said Royal Bank) and and TOLD ME he needed 10-15 minutes of my time tomorrow. I told him I'm not required to givehim any of my time and told him I would not be participating, he wouldn't take no for an answer so I had to repeat myself and then hung up...I was so pissed off that I decided I would contact Royal Bank but before I call them I tried calling the # back that called me, my display came up as "District Columbia" but when I called it said 'voice mail' not set up yet. Then I put this # into Google and found this....not sure if I should call the police to report or???
I answer the phone and a man with an Indian accent tells me people from Sunlife Insurance will be in my building tomorrow wanting 10 minutes of my time. I say i work a 12 hour shift and the insist i meet with them, i then say sorry im going away, he asked me where I am going, for how long, how old I am etc. I say sorry I am not interested in life insurance, he then says i will call u back in 2 weeeks maybe from my own personal line. I was totaly creeped out and called the cops right after. Lets see what they can do for me.
