855-496-4285

Me too. No message. No callback. I'm a Fido subscriber and have warned them before about calling me. Still not sure who this might be..... hmmmm?

Well, I just found out if you do answer this area code, YOU get charged for the call...

http://areacode.org/855

Thanx for all the above info...especially from Doug about being charged !!!!!  Just who are these people and what do they want ???  What Country is this from ??? Does anyone out there know this ??  Let me know and if I find out more I'll post what I learn.  Chow for now. :)

I just got a call from this number. I didn't answer and they didnt leave a message.

yep...i just got one too.  i did't pick up and no vm.

I got one call on my cell at 5:30 today and another at 8:30. No vm. Did not pick up.  Gonna have to check out this being charged for answering a call. Sounds fishy!

i got this call today at 7:56 pm and didn't pick up.

Received a call from them last night at 8 on my cell, I answered as I routinely get legitimate calls from various area codes and I was expecting a call.  Said it was some company doing a survey on behalf of my bank (she used the actual name of my bank).  Told her I was working and I didn't have time.  She tried to keep me on the phone, I hung up on her.

Called my bank this morning and they said it was most likely NOT a legitimate call. Funny thing is they had my name, the name of my bank (which is a relatively small, local bank), and company cell number tied together. If the 855 number can charge you for the call, how many people will sit on the phone and take this survey and not realize they are being charged the entire time? Very fishy, I will not answer a 855 number again.

Got a call did not pick up. No one has my cell number. NO ONE! I use google voice and give out another number but they this 855 number calls my actual cell number which no one, not even myself knows

WTF is goin on here?! Called me three times today..

I got a missed call from this number today at 7:09 p.m.

I just recently started having some trouble paying credit cards and thought perhaps this was one of them. I'd like to know what bank they said they were from, MP. I live in CT and also belong to a relatively small bank (NewAlliance which recently merged with First Niagra Bank).

I hope they don't call me again. Grrrr.

Jenn, yes I use First Niagara.  Curiously, with the merge now I wonder was there some selling of information or a leak.  All of my credit is in good standing, and I do not have any debt with First Niagara or New Alliance, so for me I am 100% positive it is not a collection call.  These phone calls still do not seem legitimate, perhaps if every one else also uses either of these banks, they can call CS and stop these calls.

If in the off chance that it is a legitimate customer survey I would be agitated enough to withdraw all of my funds and move to a different bank.

No, 855 is a toll-free number just like 800, 888, 877 and 866. When 855 is used-up, I suspect the next toll-free area code will be 844.

I also had a call from them today about an on-line bank survey and I could win a Blackberry.  After second thoughts I called the bank manager who told me they never contact clients by e-mail, never use third parties for research and never of prizes for completing surveys.  Checked my e-mails and it  (the e-mail) had been automatically sent to my junk mail box.

You can't get charged when you are called. It doesn't work that way folks. Anybody who says that is making it up and spews it out like they are an expert. People think it's true...cause they read it on the Internet!! The only way you would be charged is if you pay on a per minute basis for use...and guess what? That concept  would apply to all calls.

People are misinterpreting the 'charged when you are called' aspect. Yes, you are charged when someone calls...**when YOU are the owner of the toll free number**. You call 1-855-123-1234 and the owner of the 1-855 number is charged...hence...the "organization/person being called is charged". Same thing applies to 800, 866, etc. Calls can not originate from a toll free number. What comes up on your call display is a telephone number that the organization's telephone system is sending out. I've had calls in the past from 123-456-7890 and 000-000-0000 as examples.

Had several calls from this number over the last few days with no messages left when I didn't answer..  Today I answered.  They had my name and the name of my bank.  Said TDBank was taking a survey to find out how its customers conducted on-line purchases.  They asked for the spelling of my name and my e-mail information.  At that point I hung up.  They said that the survey would be e-mailed to me and that the bank would send me a $20 check to thank me for my time.  The call came over my cell phone

I contacted TDBank and they assured me that this was not legitimate.  They also asked me my cell phone provider which nobody else mentioned as a possible link to the phishing.  I use Verizon wireless.  I wonder if the others do, too.  The bank seemed to think that they used TDBank because it was the most likely bank in the area with my cell phone number.

Just got a call from this number (8:22pm EST). Didn't answer. They called my cell two days ago in the afternoon. I didn't answer then either. No voicemail message was left. I use one of the banks mentioned in several of the above posts, so I'm wondering if my personal info has been compromised.

Got a call tonight but no message. Thankfully I checked this blog and a BIG thank you for your insights.

OMG! i got only one call from this number and i was studying so i didnt answer. No message was  left, i wonder that my personal information has been compromised cos i just got the cell phone last week, it is Fido. there is  only 3 people know my cell number till now .it is  so weird. And i just applied a credit card from TDBank so i had to give them my cell number. what the hell is goin all.
