Ce numéro est ok, ils appel suite à une demande de carte que j'ai fais dernièrement . C'est pour vérifier certaines informations de sécurité avant d'envoyer la carte par la poste.

I just got a call from that number on my cell. Next to no one has that cell number; just banks, government and mom.  I phoned back. It took awhile to get served. I had applied for a cc recently. They gave me $2000 grand in credit. So that's what happened.

This is MBNA's M.O. When you  pay off a credit card and show a 0 balance the credit department calls to offer you an advanced sum deposited into any bank acct. with a low interest rate for about 3 or 4 months and after that it goes to the regular rate. it's a scam to get you back in debt paying their f***ing interest rates monthly.
I paid off my card and not even 3 days later these a**holes were calling me, so knowing full well that they tape the call conversations "for training purposes" I told the telemarketer to give their  MBNA  bosses a message and it was to go f**k themselves and that they will never earn a dime from me again because I planned to pay off the card every time before the payment date arrived.
This is what these motherF***ers do, don't fall for their bs

It's a legitimate call. I did received a few letters from them previously regarding a credit card, never really did a follow up. They called me at home  to offer the said credit card and I did accept it. They called me back because they needed to validate a few information, they didn't ask me about my SIN number but they asked me other questions and everything went fine. I should be receiving the card in the next 5 to 10 business day. So basically I'm waiting right now but I feel no concern about it.

I'll write back once I'll have received the said card. Worst case, I'm getting my identity theft.

I received a call and got the same message. I called MBNA from http://www.mbna.ca/contact_index.html and the guy said the # 1-877-793-6709 IS an MBNA # and its ok to call to verify credit card

Got the same thing claiming to be from MBNA (the bank i think) it gives me a ref number and a toll free number to call them back on. I'M NOT EVEN A MEMBER OF THAT BANK OR ANYTHING LIKE IT! This must be a scam to get you to call them back at a premium rate number or some people may even hand over there bank details. Don't do it! if you thin it is your bamk then go in a see them in person.
No bank would ever call you up like this surely?

you apparently applied for a credit card and they are calling you to get more information..

its a scam

Calls at least every other day.

It is a call from MBNA, if you applied to any credit card and want to keep the card, you need to call back.

This was MBNA who approves credit card applications.  Not spam or unauthorized caller.  It's okay to call them back, you can refuse their credit approval process if you want.

me too...no way I am giving it over the phone.

I applied for credit card at Shoppers Drug Mart too and I got written answer I'm not eligible to get it. After 1 month I'm receiving every day call with the same message like Dan. I'm not crazy and I'll never call back.

Same here, applied for credit card at Shoppers.  I definitely won't be providing my SIN number.

my story is the same as the others - applied at a Shoppers Drug Mart - I don't think I'll be calling back.

Same message as "Dan" posted.

Upon calling back, guy mentioned it is for a credit card I applied at Shoppers Drug Mart and they couldn't pull my credit records and asked for SIN. I declined to give any information over the phone and he mentioned he will leave the application as it was.

I had signed up for a credit card at an NHL hockey game to get free stuff. They wanted more information... I just canceled the application.

They left a message on my machine...
