Maybe you are a Scotia client?

I wonder why you'd reply to a post nearly three years old.

He calls himself 'Intelectual' but can't even spell that right. There are so many errors in his post it makes me wonder too. lol

This number called and asked for me by my first name only on February 20, 2014. I didn't recognize the number so asked who was calling. She said Optima on behalf of Scotiabank. I said if I wanted to speak with my bank, I would phone them and hung up. Looked up the number on Google and came across several places saying this number was a fraud, a scam, trying to gain access to your account and take money, and others claiming they were selling insurance.

I called Scotiabank immediately after reading this stuff. The representative punched in this number and confirmed to me that this number is NOT affiliated with Scotiabank AT ALL, or any of it's companies. He said that Scotia would NOT call a customer this late at night (8;30pm), nor do they call customers to sell insurance, or any other thing, UNLESS the customer has specifically requested a call back regarding insurance. I did not request anything. He also said that Scotiabank does not have an affiliation with a company called Optima (and when you look up Optima's number, it is NOT this number).

He then transferred me to the Security Department who confirmed to me that this number IS INDEED on their list of fraud/scam numbers and I wasn't the first to call to report it tonight. They are aware of it and are attempting to deal with it. DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU SEE THIS NUMBER COME UP!!!

Let's see your grammar does not sound very professional. I think you should try again!

Have been receiving calls from this number and I want it to stop

It is for critical accident insurance from Scotiabank. Annoying.

That sentence was the world's longest sentence.

yes called me for hard core pereira

Got a call offering accidental death life insurance. Told called twice not interested yet he persisted. Had to drop the call before I referred him to beltone. Morons.

Feb 6 2013,  I rec'd a call on the cell at 8:50 PM and we missed it. Looked it up on Google as we did not recognize the #
It apparently is a scam to get your account information and they will steal your money. NEVER give that information out. If it really was Scotia Bank calling you they don't need your number, THEY ALREADY HAVE IT! If they are asking you questions it is because they don't have it and therefore are not who they say they are... SCAM. I read one comment that says it is OPTIMA that sells insurance for scotiabank and it hired by them. But someone else said they contacted head office for scotiabank and IT IS NOT ANYTHING THEY ARE DOING ... NOT THEM ! so... don't give them any information.

It's annoying call !

The above number called me at 7:18 pm.  I do not want them calling me.  I would rather have the bank call me in to talk about my accounts.

your telephone company is as responsible as this telemarketing company. When I  laid a complaint with Northern Telephone they said there was nothing they could do.  Amazing, how two phone company employees tried to sell me a  bundle with call block at my expense of course.   Where is our government ?
On another holiday I guess.

They called me at around 9:30pm on a weekday in Ottawa... I didn't give them a chance to tell me who they were. When they mispronounced my name I hung up. Also when I picked up, it's as if I was calling them, some kind of queue. No waay this is a legitimate call on behalf of Scotiabank. What company calls after 5 pm?? I would believe that this is a scam.

You f****ng a***ole this is a f****ng fraud. Your probably one of the lazy b*****ds who steal money And can't make their own. Some people work Damn f****ng hard for there's. and deserve every cent. Unlike you

This number is a FRAUD !! Dont reply to there question ! And NO THIS IS NOT SCOTIABANK ! Its a SCAM ! They call me EVERYDAY at 7h20 pm !

Never left a message, they'd been calling for weeks.  I finally answered.  I picked up to hear a phone ringing and then someone picked up and said "Hello? Hello?"  I said "YOU called ME."  They were trying to sell accident insurance.  Kept dropping rate and coverage with each "No thanks".  Got down to $2.95 for $25,000 coverage.  

I would have accepted but found the whole thing fishy with how they wouldn't leave any messages, so I turned them down.

I think you work for the fraud caller. lol. how much does he pay u?
Too much promotion on your part to pick up their call.

calls and does not leave a message...i believe this is yet another scam number to add to a growing list:

416-640-0667
416-640-0651
416-915-7930

BUZZ OFF!

I want these calls stopped !

I've been getting calls as well. I never pick up on the first ring so that all calls are logged.

As for why they are not there when you answer... they use an auto dialer, which dials multiple phone numbers at the same time. The first one to pick up, is the one that gets the live person, the others are hung up on. Annoying as hell, but it is one less person a company needs to hire.

I just called back telling them I am not interested in anymore insurance.

this number called me at 6pm pst. Which means it was closer to 9pm in Toronto, way passed business hours,so no this is not a legitimate service being offered from a third party with Scotia. My cards were recently compromised and I am a Scotia member so this call worries me.

416-847-8384 KEEPS CALLING......If it continues i will have the cyber crime police deal with them!
These scrammers need to go to jail!

Hey,OPTIMA EMPLOYEE
It's YOUR not UR, and you wonder why people get pissed off. Constantly I get calls from these moth******ers and you know what? I'm F****NG SICK OF IT! I have an elderly family member and every time I get an unexpected call early in the morning the first thought is oh god, something's happened.

KNOCK IT OFF NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT
