At this point we've all figured out that Equinox marketing services is the culprit. Here is their Facebook page with 74 people i'm going to assume, work for them.
Called me around dinner time, claiming to be calling on behalf of RBC.
I did pick up my phone, and a woman answered be back after I said hello. "Hello, Brittany?"
Me: Speaking. A gentlemen then chimed in, going on and on about Equifax and how it can protect me against identity theft for $12.99 a month.
By the end when the gentlemen finished speaking, he requested I give him the correct spelling of my name to begin the process. Right so, you have my number... you have my name and are suppose to be with RBC but you don't know how to spell my name? Not only that, but when I asked if there's a way to do it online if I ever am interested he said, bluntly-- no. It's not released out into branches yet.. That's oddly suspicious.
A woman called about 2-3 months ago offering me a similar product also on behave of RBC which was $17.99 monthly...
interesting.
I would think anyone calling on behalf of a company would be calling from a 1800 number instead of a 647 GTA cellphone area code, and would at least have a name registered to their number
The National Do Not Call List is a scam. I know of countless people who registered, myself included, only to be bombarded with non stop tele-marketing calls soon there after. It's to the point now where we just don't answer our phones to long distance calls. I hope you have better luck with it than we did :(.
received a call from 647-495-9506 yesterday. A woman asks for me by name. I hear a male voice in the background saying "is he there?". The guy gets on the phone and says thanks me for being with RBC and goes into trying to tell me that he selling a protection package for my credit cards, phones, tablets...etc...I tell him to go [***] Himself and not call again. I phone RBC and report the call and find out that they are not RBC reps...I ask "How the hell did he get my name and number ( It's unlisted ) and how did he known I was with RBC???? ".... RBC had no answer...Something is wrong here!!!!
