What callers are reporting

Survey and market research

Several people say the call is an automated survey from a market research firm, with a separate toll free callback line and an Edmonton mailing address. These calls are a nuisance but not fraudulent.

Spoofed Government of Alberta

Many recipients say the caller ID displayed a government name, then played a recorded message, sometimes in another language with broken English. Real government departments do not operate this way.

Fake police or RCMP

Some reports describe a caller claiming to be from city police, the RCMP or the government, asking for personal information. This is a classic impersonation scam pattern.

Repeated rings and hang ups

A common complaint is several calls in a short span with no voicemail, or a single ring and disconnect. This is typical of automated dialers.

So is 403 351 0200 a scam?

The honest answer is that it depends on the specific call. The number itself is registered to a legitimate carrier and has been linked to real survey activity. At the same time, scammers frequently spoof caller ID, which means criminals can make their calls appear to come from this number while impersonating government agencies. So the safest approach is to judge the call by its content, not by the number on your screen. Any caller who pressures you, asks for personal or banking details, or demands payment is a red flag, no matter what the display says.
