My bank said its a scam and sent to fraud department immediately

OMFG maybe its them running this website!!!!!!!!!!! lol.......this would b only way 4 them 2 get ip dumbass

Calls me everyday for the past month.

Tony the Telemarketer,

Not perfectly legal.  I don't use my cell number on websites or for contact purposes for any account I have.
I ALWAYS uncheck the box asking if a company can contact me or send my information to 3rd parties.  Unless you have a signed affidavit from me saying you can call me for solicitation - it is not perfectly legal.
This is why we swear at you.  You chose to get paid for doing that job deal with consequences.  I didn't choose for you to call me.

when I called the number back to get on the DNC list, all I got was an automated message saying "the mailbox is full. Please clean it" and then a bunch of beeping. No people, no list of options, just some screwed up message and funny noises.

just got another call from them. This time, I waited for it to stop ringing then called back. Instead of a messed up message about voice mail, I got an answering machine. It's a marketing company calling on behalf of RBC insurance. They want me to leave a message with my contact info, but there is no option for removing my number or anything like that. Why do they need my contact info if they just called me?

A human on the other end talked a patter at 100 miles an hour...got him to repeat so I could understand. He said that he was looking for our daughter on behalf of RBC. I inquired as to the purpose and he called it "a courtesy call".

this is RBC (royal bank of canada) insurance calling if you want to get rid of them answer and tell them you are not interested.  they should stop calling..it worked for me

Is it me or are the annoying, useless phone calls getting worse the past year or so?? The do not call list is probably selling the numbers on it.

I don't know if my situation is unique, but I not only receive these calls EVERY freaking day, but also AT THE SAME TIME.... Every day at 4.36 I get the call.... It's really annoying... I tried to get my name out of the list, but they keep calling... :/

We also get daily calls from this *bleeping* number - so annoying as they call usually when I am in the middle of working with children only to be interrupted by their endless phonecalls.  I agree that these types of calls seem to have increased since going on the DNC list!!

They don't have the "remove" option any longer.  Now, it's "please leave your name and telephone number and someone will get back to you"!!! Agh!!!

So I called this number back, after I've received about 50 calls in the last 15 days.
The first time, I got a fax noise.
The second time, I got an automated message saying " Your voice mailbox is full, please clean it.  Thank you."

No prompts to remove my number off a list.

I have been getting these calls since middle of may and have yet to answer the call and they have continued calling daily and still coming going on july 12! so annoying. if you find a way to get them to stop calling let me know!

I worked for them and they have no Privacy Officer at all.  There is no such position with them.  Just wanted to let you know.

Hi, I work for the company in question. I may have even called a couple of you. Im here to make a few points, some of which i wish i could say to my customers (i cant, obviously).

*ahem*

1) This is my job. This is how i, and the rest of the 40 some odd people on my team, make money. Some people have been working under the company for over a decade (the company has undergone several name changes, but its the same), and work there because they are retired, or lack the education, or because in this economy its the only place hiring in the city with decent wages ($11/h starting), and said money is needed to get a better education so i dont have to put up with you people every day.

2) I dont like calling you. I dont want to but i do. Something even more so that i dont want to do is Rebuttal. Now, for the uneducated, a rebuttal with when you say "No" (or tell me where to shove it, or tell me to die, ect), i have to respond to that and try to convince you otherwise, especially if you cut us off right away. Now, we HAVE to do it. Twice.

ITS IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION.

I have almost been fired (and i know many who have) because they dont rebuttal, or only rebuttal once.

3) If you ignore the call, because its an automatic dialer, its going to presume your not home, and call you back the next day anyways. As well, dont lie and say we call 100 times a day. Its probably someone else. We are CRTC compliant (google it if you dont know what CRTC is), and we can only call 10 times per list.

4) Each list lasts 2 months. End of story.

5) If you pick up and say right away "Not interested" its a callback for tomorrow. Why? because we dont know whether it was the customer we're looking for or not.

6) ,This is VERY Important, There are Three (3) Magic words that, if used in the correct order, magically stop all calls. Those words are "Do Not Call". Simply say that, and we have to stop rebutting, say a DNC script, and youll be taken off the list. Now it can take 30 days to be taken off all lists upon saying this, so please be patient. We legally have to do so, again, CRTC compliant.

7) Please dont answer your phone while having sex, sitting on the toilet, or in the bath/shower. I get this at least a couple times a month, its very disturbing.

8)  Zedd is calling from Ontario, we call until 12am eastern time. CRTC allows us to call until 9pm in each of the time zones. So, BC, when your complaining that you are in bed trying to sleep at 8:30pm pst (i get that 10+ times between 11pm-12am),  We are up working til 12am while you get to sleep. Enough said.

9) Its an outbound call only, we are not equipped to receive incoming

10) This is through RBC Insurance. Not RBC Branch. If you go into your branch and ask why you are getting called, they will look at you as if you're growing an arm out of your head. While this is all under RBC Financial Group, only RBC Insurance deals with Telesales. Call them, their number is on there website.

11) I need sales. Goal for the program im in is 4-6 a day. While that may not seem like a lot, it is very very difficult. While i do make an hourly rate of $11/h, i also get bonus for sales. Also, i get to keep my job. Apparently the whole purpose behind telemarketing is to get sales. Not getting sales gets write ups, which, if sales are not achieved, results in termination, which results in me being kicked out of my house, me losing funding for school, and creates a whole mess of trouble.

12) Lastly, the 2 programs we offer, the spiels take 2 minutes to go through (3 with rebuttals, 5 if you take it), yes its all scripted, but thats because its insurance. If you do agree to take it, we just confirm the spelling of your Name, Address, and Date of Birth (DoB), and one program asks if your a smoker, thats it. We transfer you over to a verifier who confirms everything (asks the same few questions) to ensure you are enrolling. the verifiers are Licensed Insurance Agents (LIA's). As im not licensed to actually sell insurance, my job is to essentially make sure the info is correct, then the LIA's make the actual transaction.

2 side notes to that last point
-We dont have your DoB, we ask it to ensure that you are you, and not some fraud. if the Dob is Incorrect, once RBC receives the list of those who have enrolled, if the DoB doesnt match, its cancelled to avoid fraud.
-One program has a money back guarantee option, and one has it at no cost for the first month (rbc actually pays the first month). So take a chance, take a look at the certificate of insurance, we do send you one. It has all the information on it.  wether you keep it or lose it is your choice later.

Thats it for now, if you have any questions, ill be on here periodically to check any responses, hate mail, and/or questions you may have (ill answer the questions)

Thanks for your time, and have a good day.

You telemarketers, along with all the debt collectors, use practices that are far less than legal and you know it. I got a call after putting myself on their do not call list 5 days ago, not to mention they have called TWICE in the past 30 minutes before writing this review.

Everyone, these people are the scum of the Earth. I have more respect for Occupy protesters who crap on cop cars than I do for these kinds of company's who call you two or three times a day and keep asking you the same question. It is not bordering on harassment any longer, it IS harassment as laid out by state and federal laws on the matter.

I should also add to the person who made this original post...most people leave their office and actually do manual labor of some kind during the day. The heaviest thing you lift is your coffee cup that probably says"Lets Harass today!" So your comment about the individual who has complained about the phone calls when they are sleeping has a valid point and once he tells you not to call at that time, you cannot call him at that time anymore. if I were him, and while I cannot give legal advise, I would speak to an attorney about this matter.

Don't just DEAL with the phone calls everyone, stand up for yourself. If we stand up for ourselves, I promise these company's that keep doing these unethical and at times illegal things will stop. it is not a bad thing to contact an attorney and tell then you have been called by these people multiple times a day for days or even weeks on end without being taken off their list when you requested to be taken off. Like I said, I requested it about 5 days ago, much more than 72 hours. Stand up for your right, contact an attorney if you feel it is appropriate to do so, and contact your state's A.G. and let them know about this as well. The more people who complain, the more likely something will get done about it.

I'm really insulted with what you said there. I had a friend who used to be a telemarketer just to get by in life. 6 months later, because of rude, thoughtless people like you, he committed suicide.

It's more insulting that you have the galls to call telemarketers the "scum of the earth". You know who are the real scum of the earth? Child molesters. Murderers. Rapists. Not people who just freaking call you.

You know what I do? I answer the phone. I see who it is. If it's something important or something I'm interested in, I continue listening. If it's not, I POLITELY ask them to DNC me. I also have my number on the national DNC to take care of the other calls.

Another thing that bothers me. Everyone expects the national DNC to take care of all the calls. But they don't read the part that exempts things like charities or companies that they are with.

If you get another call after you tell them to put you on a DNC, keep in mind that it usually takes about 30 days to finalize it. If so, ask them again during that time period to put you on the DNC.

JUST. BE. NICE. Going back to my friend, I've heard some really horrible stories about his time at work. People telling him to F-off, people badmouthing and just being abnormally rude.

It's not them that's rude, it's you. You people who want everything done your way. You want everything to come on a silver platter. Let me tell you something. Life does not work that way.

As the person who originally made this point said, they work until the late hours of the night. Way later than some of you people do. I personally feel sorry for them, having to deal with the crud that you people dish out.

That's all I can say right now. I'm done.

Anyway, yes. This was a company calling on behalf of RBC to talk about insurance. I did as I said in the reply and put my name on the DNC.

I don't know what everyone is so upset about.  I love getting calls from telemarketers!

Since these companies monitor all sorts of stats for their employees (average call times, sales figures, etc), I've decided to have some fun with them.

When I get a call from these people, I make it my mission to keep them on the phone for as long as possible before NOT giving them the sale, or NOT answering their survey questions.

Just keep asking clarifying questions about things.  They will try to answer your questions as best they can.  If they want you to do a survey.....tell them you will answer their questions, but only if you can ask them questions as well.  I once had a telemarketer believing I was almost blind, and he was trying to sell me a newspaper subscription.  He was going to look into whether they offered the paper in big print for me.  

There's no need to freak out about these calls, just have fun with them!  

Cheers!
