This number, 647-496-4195 is a company which goes by the name of Ibex Solutions. I had received the same call as everyone else has mentioned in this post. I contacted Canadian Tire Financial Services Privacy and Personal information department which number is printed on the Canadian Tire Bank Card Member Agreement Form, 1-866-846-5841 as I myself was also concerned how a third party company could have my personal information. The representative I had spoken with from their Privacy Department could not identify this company and therefore as Canadian Tire policy clearly states on the agreement form that if resolution is not satisfied at the representative level, to be escalated to an Account Management Supervisor. Upon speaking with this supervisor, she had confirmed with me that CTFS infact does not have any affiliation with Ibex Solution and should be treated as a fraudulent act!! This was directly communicated by a supervisor within CTFS Privacy department. She suggested if I had revealed some personal information, I should therefore replace my card. Makes me think of the server hack issue that Home Depot recently had with identity theft which happened within their systems!!! How safe is our supposedly "Privacy"???
This company tried to say they were calling from Canadian Tire Mastercard and wanted to offer me great deal on accidental insurance and other great advantages. They proceeded to inform the about the cost and confirm my mailing address so they could mail me the package free for 30 day trial.
Then it got weird, they requested an email address so they could send me updates or announcements of more great news and offers. I said to them that they already have my email address and they said yes but we need to verify it but couldn't tell me what it was.
Finally the straw that broke the camel's back was when they requested that I give them the answer to one of my security questions so that they can ensure the information is correct and mail me this "exciting" package. I said no, I was not comfortable doing that because you called me and so therefore you know its me and should I decide to call you, I will confirm my answers at that time. Then they said, we understand have a goodnight and hung up. Complete SCAM !!!! Be careful of this phone number.
I just got a call from that number saying it was also Canadian Tire Mastercard. They got part of my name wrong, which peaked my suspicion. They said they wanted to offer me the accidential protection and when I said I was not interested the lady hung up on me right away. Definately a scam.
