416-847-8742

Caller display showed (416) 847-8742. Looked up reverse numbers. Unpublished Landline Toronto. Did not answer. No message left. Getting cynical now. Any ideas which scam this time ?

they call here daily no one answers no messages wer'e in n.s.

They call me daily as well.  I called the number and a recording comes on saying they are a marketing company calling on behalf of ScotiaLife Financial.

I have been receiving calls from this number. They never leave a message and it is different times of the day. Very annoying. I don't answer and will use my call blocking feature with Bell Canada to block them next time they call. Very annoying. My number is unpublished. I am not sure where they got it. Even more annoying!

They call me daily too.
I wonder if all the lines they call are Bell customers. I am.
It could be one of the following:
1. It is Bell's automatic dialer - minutes are getting “used up” faster this way, so that you are forced to upgrade your plan (or buy more minutes if you are a pay-as-you-go subscriber).

2. Bell wants people to start using and get hooked on their number blocking and other features (rjm works for Bell marketing on-line... just kidding ;-) )

3. As per s228 above: ScotiaLife got a lousy service from a lousy marketing company.

get a call every day between 4-6pm - I screen all my calls and no one ever leaves a message just disconnects. I'm sick of it and the caller would be paying long distance charges to call - I'm in the 613 area code! How do we make it stop?

Second call from that number in two days. Just renewed my mortgage with Scotiabank so it probably is them trying to sell me MORE insurance or a credit card or something. It's not enough that they are getting almost 5% interest -- they always seem to want more. The constant calls are annoying and why don't they just leave a message and if I want the damn insurance I'll call them back! BTW I'm a Telus customer from Alberta so I don't think its a Bell scam.

I've been getting these calls fairly constantly over the last few days, so I called it from my voip line so they wouldn't get my number.  It's Optima Communications International calling on behalf of Scotialife Financial, a division of Scotiabank that sells term life insurance.

It only rang twice this time and they hung up before my voice mail even kicked in, and they are calling my cell

I've been getting phone calls every day for three weeks from these guys & they don't leave a message so I called them back - surprise surprise their mailbox is full - don't give up though - dial *0 (star zero) and it goes to another covering extension (real person!) and tell them to take your phone number off their calling list.  I did this and they were quite understanding and nice - "Brenda" said she took my number off their internal calling list so I won't receive any more calls.  Don't know if it will work for sure, but it's worth a try!

A young lady called from Optima for Scotiabank about insurance. I listened to her script because I know talk-time helps her. I was nice to her and kindly said no. They call about 3 times a year. Same old bu***hit. Getting angry will not help the situation though.

I too get this call from Scotia Life. I have also asked them to stop, with no success. I am also a Telus customer so there is unlikely any Bell scam going on.

this number calls daily. most often its around 6pm. sometimes its in the middle of the day, other times its 9 at night. i'm in Alberta, use both Telus and Shaw, number comes over both phones daily.

called @ 8:30pm, some guy said "hello" then disconnected..

Scotiabank customer for 40 years.  If I want their product I will ask for it.  I don't need them having their agents call me in the middle of my dinner every day until I talk to them!!

I get that it's from Allstream.

Yup - been getting all kinds of calls multiple times a day for eons.   they don't leave a message or they leave a hang up.  Very frustrating.  They can call anywhere from waking me up early in the morning at 9am Saturdays, Sundays and/or days off - to 9pm at night which is a ridiculous time to call.   It's ridiculous especially when I'm registered on the do not call list!  

I have a whole list of 'em!  These are just from the past week, and they all call multiple times a day!   Crazy!

Funny - I just moved, and although my number didn't change and therefore my status on the do not call list didn't change, PLUS I have an unlisted phone number!.   Still makes you  wonder if Bell is selling their phone lists - pretty co-incidental that although I have received many of these calls for a while - the majority started after I moved!

Im with Rogers and this number calls me as well, I've never answered because I didn't know who it was but it just kept calling!  Glad I now know its bogus:) Blocked!!!:)

I'm getting sick of these calls. My husband and I do have a bank account at the scotia bank but really if we wanted more then that we'd go to our branch and ask for it.

calls no message. do not recongnise number
