Called twice left no message.

This is really strange to me because that phone number is the exact number on the back of my CIBC Visa card!!! So, how do people make it show up on the call display when they are calling from another number? That is scarier than spoofing email addresses. For my sanity, I just don't bother answering the phone anymore unless I recognize the number. IF something like this happened, I would LMBO at the caller... unless I was in a playful mood; in which case, I might play their game back at them as I did with these idiots who claimed to be calling from WINDOWS (not Microsoft) telling me that there was a critical error happening on my computer  and he needed me to follow his instructions to fix it IMMEDIATELY before it destroyed both my computer AND the whole internet!!!!! LOL, I wonder if anyone fell for that. I sure hope not as I can only begin to imagine what they'd have naive people do. Sadly, I wasn't able to get very far into receiving my "instructions" because I wouldn't give him my Social Insurance Number. He hung up when I said that I might not know much about computers (a lie), but I did know not to give away that kind of information. However, there were either a slew of guys with this middle eastern accent AND similar voices or a couple of the same guys kept making the same calls repeatedly because, I was called dozens of times and they pretty much sounded the same. Finally, I got tired of them so one day I said, "Yes Detective, this IS the caller. Did I keep him on long enough?" Of course, he hung up before I completed my question, the chicken... LOL. One time I asked the guy how he could know what was happening on my computer and he said that it is always sending information to WINDOWS while it is running, and, I let him go on and on a while longer and then said that my computer was not even on. The jerk then tried to REALLY scare me by saying that the problem is MUCH worse than he imagined if it was sending signals while turned off... LOL. I let him ramble frantically for a minute and couldn't hold in my laughter any longer.... it just burst out of me and he said "This is no laughing matter ma'am!" I interrupted him, saying that I had a Mac. Did the same thing with a clearly different man, except I said that I didn't have a computer. Well, time to stop reminiscing and get something done around here. I would still love to comprehend how these morons can spoof email and phone numbers.

these scumbags just called me and offered to reduce my credit card rate to 6.9%.  I said great. the moron I talked to gave me the company name, phone number, his name and extension...all is good but I don't have a credit card.  I was specially selected because I make my payments on time and always more than minimum..  all good... I don't have a credit card.   tomorrow morning CIBC is going to take one on the chin from me,  for all of us....
The pin head I talked to gave this number and extension 272,,,his name is Douglas Miller...There will be coal ion his breakfast

Got a call from this number yesterday, they claimed they were from Telus doing an iPhone promotion, and I was "specially selected"...I would feel even more special if they didn't try my wife's cell phone the night before.  Total Scam, as Googling this number reveals it's a CIBC internal number (and it's the first hit, in fact) on the CIBC web site.

Got a message left on answering machine to call back.  Caller said he was from CIBC, it is the same number on back of CC. When I called back got recorded message re postal strike implications.

had a call from this number on 3 Nov 2009 saying he was from the visa verification center he had my name address and phone number and asked me to confirm my card number.  I would not give him my card number .  He then said to prove he was genuine his name was Jack Russell (with a foreign accent) and that his security no. was cc134 and asked me to phone him back I did not do so.  I then contacted my bank who knew nothing about this and said they would not ask me for my number and said it was probably a scam.  I have reported it to the Consumer advice center who took details and asked me to report it if he rang again.

This number is printed on the back of CIBC Visa cards.

It is unlikely that CIBC would call using this number, as it is less expensive for them to call direct.

I wouldn't trust anyone claiming to call from there, unless you subscribe to call display, and it agrees.  Offer to call them back in that case.

Actually Caller ID information is very easy to fake, you should never rely on it. Simple NEVER provide information like that to someone who calls you and asks for it.

F*** u CIBC
f*** u a** hole

I got a call today from this number. I live in Victoria BC. The call came in at 9 in the morning.

I live in the downtown area of Victoria. I am glad that I google searched this number first. I want to add this to a list of people who reported that number as egregious.
