514-227-8723

I received two calls from 1-514-227-8723.  It is citibank mastercard.  I called back and got a recording which tells you that they are calling on behalf of citibank with a special offer.  You are free to leave a message.  I got a message for them alright "Stop ***** calling!!"

I too have received two calls from 519-227-8723. I do not know who they are since they are not talking. My call display says...
Caller ID: 519-227-8723
Caller: Long Distance

Wouldn't they be using some type of toll free number if it really was CitiBank?!!

this number kept calling me several times a day since two weeks ago,which was really annoying. and never is there an answer.
how to block this stupid number?

i got this call every single day. Please stop calling me!!!

I keep getting calls... so far I note that the number appears on my call display 9 times.  The same number 514-277-8723.  I'm not answering to see if they will eventually stop... this is ridiculous.

The number 514-227-8723 (Quebec) called me today I don't answer any number I don't know, no time for that. It may be City Bank or not the main point is that all Credit Card companies and department stories give our phone number and details out to many marketing places so they can phone us and sell us stuff. They all act like they care about your personal information and fraud yet they will give you up for a few dollars and give your information out like it was candy. They need to stop giving out our personal information without written approval from us instead of the other way around where by we have to opt out, I didn't opt in so I should not have to opt out.

Regards

no one answers when I pick up the phone

The caller from 514-227-6723 will insist until you respond and then will tell you: "because you are a CITI MasterCard owner you are offered a free insurance for accidents, worth of $50,000; there is no cost to you'. I declined saying I alraedy have a good accident insurance. He insisted that is offered "at no cost to you" and when I said: "just put it in the mail and send it to me" the answer was:"This call will be recorded -for quality puposes". the caller than wanted personal information, like for an insurance policy; address(because all he knows is your phone number); SIN, credit card number; etc. All he needs to steel your identity! Only I do not have any CITI Mastercard!

I THINK IT'S FROM "EQUAFAX".... THEY ARE TRYING TO LOCATE SOMEONE.....
CAUSE "EQUAFAX" HEADOFFICE IS LOCATED IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC...

Got a call last night and today from that number.  I have call display so I just hit redial and no one answers.  When I they phoned today I answered and it sounded like someone was on the other end, just not talking.

Get calls from this number 514-227-8723 and it's the same person everytime. I do have a citi mc and if there is EVER a problem they freeze your card and make you phone their 800 # to make sure everything is ok. I've phoned this number back and never get an answer. Banks always have 800 #'s and always have someone to answer the phone.

I got the call tonight and I felt in the mood to harass them for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. I informed them I was recording the entire conversation on my cell phone for legal protection. I rarely receive telemarketing calls now.

It is a company called "Protocall" or "Prontocall" (or something similar) out on Montreal. When asked for a Canadian Business Registration Number  (BN Number), they were unable to provide it saying they don't have such a number (lies). I reminded them the call was being recorded for security purposes on my end and asked if they are aware of laws with Revenue Canada in Canada with regards to company registration and they did not know. I told them I will be replaying the recorded conversation for Revenue Canada as "a company operating in Canada possibly without a BN number and failing to provide this number when requested." Just something to make them think "who is this guy?".

They work on "behalf of Canada Trust insurance." Key word "on behalf," NOT "for." Contact Canada Trust at 1-888-298-3608 to further inquire about their customer database and what third parties they give the information to. Also request to be removed from all their datalists, and if they tell you that you will only be removed for 3 years, demand that your information be removed permanently. They hate having to do this but they can. They won't tell you this.

While speaking to them, I was on Google confirming information. I got the customer service number for Canada Trust, and then I asked them how the information was received since I do not disclose my information to third parties. I was told it came from CitiBank. Contact Citibank at 1-800-387-1616 and do the same as you did with Canada Trust (no TRUST obviously). I have a recording from 4 months ago from Citibank where I informed them my information is never to be supplied to a third party, and they said it would not be. Should be interesting when I call Citibank tomorrow and play that conversation back at them and see what they say since it is a violation of what they had agreed to with me.

Anyhow, the guy on the phone was getting very annoyed with me for asking so many specific questions (because it takes away from his commissions and incentives for "selling" these "promotional offers" to customers).

I used to work in the telecommunications industry in Australia so I know how these companies operate and yes, they are evil.

Worst thing you can do is hang up, because they just log you as a "call back."

You need to be specific in how you speak to them when asking questions. TAKE control of the conversation and don't allow them to cut in. You do not have to be a "polite Canadian." They are not trained to deal with these sorts of circumstances or customers (like me).

Feel free to give them a hard time, but present them with difficult questions and always demand to speak to their supervisor as these phone-drones often don't have a brain or the knowledge to give the correct answers. You can also request the contact number of their "VP of Marketing and Sales" because these telemarketing companies all have one. Yes, this does work, and the VPs hate nothing more than a customer contacting them directly.

NEVER SAY ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES A "YES" OR "YAH" OR "OKAY" because they use anything that sounds like you are agreeing to them to hold you to whatever they are selling. Yes, this is another insiders' trick of the telemarketing industry.

Hope this helps. We need to fight back as consumers to shut down these companies. I love having worked in the industry just long enough to learn all their trade secrets and then quit and use them against them.

This number called when I was at work. This is the 2nd time they have called. What a real pain, they are!

I received a call from 514 227 8723 three times in two day's.I'm getting pretty pissed off with this crowd.They are telling me they are from canada life.I read some of the messages here and some are saying it's from citi bank.I contacted citi and they said there number start's with 519 not 514.I'll certainly have a message for them when they call again.
