Imagine your phone lights up with a call from +18883616815 and the voice instantly knows your name. That’s a classic sign of a spoofed BMO credit‑card promotion, often delivered by a telemarketing firm using a toll‑free number. The call usually ends in silence or a brief pre‑recorded pitch, and the caller never leaves a voicemail. To stay safe, never share personal or banking details over the phone, hang up if the script feels scripted, and add the number to your phone’s block list. Report the nuisance to the Canadian Radio‑television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and ask BMO directly using a verified number to place you on their do‑not‑call list.
