Caller claimed to be from CIBC, said he had to do a survey. He knew my name as well as my wife's. He asked for my postal code and date of birth to confirm my identification. I gave it to him because he sounded legit enough and I mean, what could you do with that info? Pretty much as soon as he got that, he made an excuse to go and that he would call back when my wife was home. I tried to call the number back because it was a little fishy, and it said that it was unregistered, etc... Now I'm a little worried. I traced the number on line and it belongs to Star Distribution or something like that. Probably some telemarketing crap.
Male called and said from CIBC Bank and said wanted to help me find ways of lowering my costs. When I refused to give info and told him that CIBC states on their website that they will NEVER call and ask for personal info, the gentlemen became rather angry. I then said good evening and hung up. SCAM. Never give out personal info over the phone.
Got a call last evening from 250 412 8397. Caller said he was from CIBC and needed to confirm my identy and asked for my Birthdate and SIN. I said no as I could not prove he was from CIBC. He then offered to tell me my last few purchases on my Credit Card to give me confidence he was from CIBC. I told him that if he was willing to give out my personal information to unconfirmed folks that I did not wish to deal with CIBC and he hung up. I then phoned CIBC and cancelled our cards.
