I received a call tonight that is very similar to all the posts. I live on the North Shore. Creepy, he identified me by name, referred to my address, then asked the same question as to whether I was happy with my mortgage. I asked who it was, and he hung up.
This is a fraud campaign currently active in Canada using a series of VOIP numbers from the 604 area code. The objective is to obtain your credit card number and drain your account.
If you attempt to "opt out" your number will be confirmed as live and added to a suckers list for repeated future calls.
Received a call, caller knew my name and wanted to know about my mortgage. Was I interested in lower rates. I said I would not tell him what bank held my mortgage, he hung up.
