Ask HN: Does Scotiabank security number caller ID resolves to 7-Eleven?

1 pointsby dustfingerover 6 years ago
This morning I had reason to call Scotia Bank security centre [1]. After I got off the phone I was surprised to see that the caller ID had resolved to 7-Eleven. I called their 1-800 number [2] again, this time watching the display and observed it resolve to 7-Eleven.<p>I am going to contact someone at Scotiabank security centre to let them know, but first I would be interested in knowing if anyone else can confirm the same. Perhaps I have a localized issue of some sort.<p>----<p><pre><code> [1]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scotiabank.com&#x2F;ca&#x2F;en&#x2F;about&#x2F;contact-us&#x2F;security.html [2]: tel:+1-800-472-6842</code></pre>

My email to Scotia Bank<p>----------------------<p>To Whom It May Concern,<p>Today I called Scotia Bank Security Centre using the phone number that their website has published at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scotiabank.com&#x2F;ca&#x2F;en&#x2F;about&#x2F;contact-us&#x2F;security.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scotiabank.com&#x2F;ca&#x2F;en&#x2F;about&#x2F;contact-us&#x2F;security.h...</a>. Here is the number that I called:<p>+1-800-472-6842<p>While this number does seem to connect me with the automated phone dispatch service for the Scotia Bank Security Centre the caller ID that I see on my phone is surprising. The caller ID is resolving to 7-Eleven. Please correct this. It is confusing. It honestly makes me loose trust in the Scotia Bank Security Centre. If I were to receive a phone call from this number and saw that the caller ID was 7-Eleven I would believe it to be fraudulent.<p>----------------------<p>Scotia Bank&#x27;s reply to my email<p>----------------------<p>Good afternoon,<p>Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly escalate to the relevant team to determine a solution.<p>Regards<p>Customer Care<p>----------------------

I tried calling Scotia Bank, but the lady whom I spoke with did not seem to understand what I was talking about. I told her that I think it will be easier if I explain this in an email. I have since emailed Scotia Bank about the issue and will post the email correspondence here if I get a reply. Although I don&#x27;t think this thread has attracted any interest from the HN community which surprised me a little. Perhaps my title was not engaging enough?

Yes it always shows up as 7-Eleven for me too, I use an Android phone if that makes a difference.<p>To avoid it I just saved the number as a contact as &quot;Scotiabank Customer Service&quot;.
