FDR for CIBC. I've been recieving calls for the last two weeks. I called them back and gave them my name and phone number. I was nice and polite.(altho' i wanted to scream at them). Turns out they were looking for someone else.I asked them nicely to please remove the number and he was actually really nice about it.

I've been getting calls from both 855-771-6018 and 855-771-6067, from the same company calling itself FDR, saying they were calling on behalf of CIBC. I Googled the numbers and found horror stories of people being harassed despite telling them they were calling the wrong person. The first call had a mechanical voice that sounded something like Darth Vader except not as clear, so I couldn't even figure out the first name of whoever they were calling, but they had my last name.
After the second call in December, this time from a message from a real person, I called them back and left a message saying I had nothing to do with CIBC and they were calling the wrong person. I've received 2 more calls since then. The last one had a mechanical voice but was much clearer and the first name was definitely not mine.
I finally called CIBC directly today and spoke with Client Service (1-800-465-2255 M-F 9am to 5:30pm Eastern Time). They said the initials sounded like Financial Debt Recovery (FDR). She called them herself while I waited on hold. She confirmed that they were indeed looking for a person of that name, and said my number was being removed from their call list and I shouldn't receive any more calls. Crossing my fingers that will be the case!
Therefore, if you're in a similar situation, being harassed by calls for someone other than yourself, call the company they say they're calling on behalf of and speak with them directly. Good luck!
