18886762269 Scam or Suspicious BMO Calls

18886762269 Scam or Suspicious BMO Calls

I keep getting automated calls or robocalls from telephone number 18886762269 where the caller claims to be from Bank of Montreal Business Centre. But, when I called BMO customer service they said do not have a record of the number. I have been dealing with this for months. They continuously leave a voicemail saying there is an issue with my account and to contact BMO. I have accounts with BMO and have spoken to multiple people at my bank about this and they have no idea why I'm receiving these calls, as there are no issues with my accounts. I have blocked the number but continue to get voicemails, it just never ends.

I googled 1-888-676-2269 and found out people online have been experiencing this problem as far back as 2008. There are some who said it is BMO's number and a system error is what is causing them to auto dial customers.

    I just called BMO Fraud Department and they are aware of there Indian or Pakistanian speaking people that say they are from BMO. Do not give them any information and call the Fraud Department at BMO to report the day and time of your call to protect your account. Real BMO employees speak english or french fluently and you should not hear a foreing language in the background of their call.

  • March 14, 2023 at 10:55 AM by an anonymous user from: St Catharines, Ontario, Canada

    888-676-2269 is not a BMO number. BMO confirmed it is not a number belonging to them. No message was left. It is a suspicious scam call.

  • January 23, 2023 at 2:26 PM by an anonymous user from: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

    I'm getting texts from this number saying I am overdue on my credit card account!

    My account is not overdue but it seems these people know the latest for digits of my credit card and the amount owing!

    I never had texts like this and BMO doesn't usually contact me over my credit card!

  • January 13, 2023 at 8:29 AM by an anonymous user from: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    You dont get system errors that persist from 2008. Give your head a shake and wake up,

  • January 12, 2023 at 10:00 AM by an anonymous user from: Sunbury Township, Budd, Illinois, United States

    This is a scam. They said they were with Amazon fraud protection and when I asked them to take me off their list they said “speak up you son of a b*tch”

  • December 29, 2022 at 2:33 PM by an anonymous user from: St Paul, Alberta, Canada

    I called them back. It really was BMO and they were letting me know I was behind on my payment.

  • December 13, 2022 at 7:19 PM by an anonymous user from: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

    Yes 18886762269 BMO Account Management this is a scam. A female asked my phone number and then wanted me to confirm my address name and date of birth

  • December 13, 2022 at 9:42 AM by an anonymous user from: Earl Grey, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

    I receive these calls every few months. I don't have a BMO account, but do have their Mastercard. I talked to one of their tellers who verified the 886 number is not a BMO phone. Scam

  • December 13, 2022 at 7:26 AM by an anonymous user from: Chatham, Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada

    I got called from this number this morning and it was a live person, not a robocall. This is not a system error from BMO, these are scammers.

    She wanted to speak with my husband regarding a banking matter, and when I asked what the issue was she said she couldn’t disclose it to protect his privacy, but that he had to call this number. (We share an account. If it were actually BMO they would know that.)

  • December 8, 2022 at 8:38 AM by an anonymous user from: North End, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

    These f@#$ers have been calling me for a month as well and I have no problem with my BMO accounts.

  • November 14, 2022 at 7:12 PM by an anonymous user from: Unionville, Markham, Ontario, Canada

    I got the call for teh past 3 days. From Nov 11th 2022. Annoying and scam call, cuz bmo verified the number and said its not theirs.

  • November 10, 2022 at 7:37 AM by an anonymous user from: Bay Street Corridor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    I have had 19 calls from this number in the past 3 days. This is very annoying. My spam detection has screened most of them but recently the calls are ringing through to my phone somehow. Thank you for starting this post to make people aware of this ongoing issue.

  • November 3, 2022 at 9:19 AM by an anonymous user from: North St James Town, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    I just received a call from this number, on the caller ID it came up as "mastercard"...I didn't answer the call and let it go to voice-mail where it left a message regarding a "secure package"...so I tried to call it back but when I called it back it says it BMO bank.I hung up and immediately came online to search if it's a scam or not.

  • October 12, 2022 at 12:13 PM by an anonymous user from: Downtown, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

    confirmed today this is BMO's number for their accounts department. It is not listed on their website because they want you to call their main phone line then they will transfer you to the accounts department.

    • October 25, 2022 at 12:35 PM by an anonymous user from: Midhurst, Springwater, Ontario, Canada

      this is not true and is a response from a scammer. it is not bmo. bmo knows all their own numbers.

  • October 6, 2022 at 12:42 PM by an anonymous user from: Mt Pleasant, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

    I have the same problem, I've blocked this number but I keep getting calls and voicemails, they even call my office and leave a message sometimes, I called them back one time and a lady answered the phone but put me on hold for a while before I can ask her any questions, DO NOT give any kind of information even you name if you speak to them.

  • September 17, 2022 at 12:35 PM by an anonymous user from: Aylmer, Ontario, Canada

    Got a call from 1 888 676 2269

    Checked on the bank website and this number is no listed

    Contacted the bank using their legitimate customer service number to check status of my account

  • September 17, 2022 at 11:03 AM by an anonymous user from: Earl Grey, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

    I dont have a BMO account, so I knew it's a scam. However, I stopped in at a BMO, and the receptionist confirmed that phone number is not a BMO number

  • September 6, 2022 at 12:18 PM by an anonymous user from: Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

    Receive call for this number today and showing BMO. Message regarding our account which we don't have any account with BMO so this is a scam.

    • September 15, 2022 at 9:39 AM by an anonymous user from: Metro Vancouver, Delta, British Columbia, Canada

      Yes, it is a scam.

  • August 17, 2022 at 10:28 AM by an anonymous user from: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

    I have been receiving calls from this for bout 2 weeks. It is lays a recorded message but never leaves a message on the answering machine. Annoying to put mildly. Sick Nd tire of a**holes with nothing better to do that bother people.

  • July 27, 2022 at 9:30 AM by an anonymous user from: Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

    Just had this happen although when I called BMO with the number on the back of the card the lady said “we just do random checks to make sure everyone is aware of their accounts”

    They also asked me to sign up for the voice verification which I thought was actually the ploy of the first automated call.

  • July 5, 2022 at 5:13 PM by an anonymous user from: North End, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

    that number is a scam if you get a call from a bank call your bank directly

  • May 13, 2022 at 6:45 PM by an anonymous user from: Centretown-Downtown, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

    Both my spouse and I have been getting calls at least 2x per day for the last month.. they just leave a message saying to call them back regarding an important business matter lol

  • April 19, 2022 at 2:16 PM by an anonymous user from: Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

    I have gotten these calls, today I called the number but was suspicious when they said it was for some who hasn't lived here for a few years, so I called BMO fraud line. They say it's for their credit card dept .

  • March 9, 2022 at 9:20 AM by an anonymous user from: St-Laurent, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

    I received a call from 1-888-676-2268, but because I had previously blocked the number, they were able to leave a message anyway. The robot voice said they were calling from BMO and that there was an issue with my account. I believe it's a scam.

    • April 2, 2022 at 9:57 AM by an anonymous user from: North St James Town, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

      Same here. I have received this call twice so far. But I have BMO account manager. If there was any issue the manager will call me to discuss specifically, not this kind of general warning. What confused me, is that the message didn't ask me to press 1 or anything.

  • February 16, 2022 at 12:20 AM by an anonymous user from: South Surrey, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

    I've been receiving calls from this number for weeks. Very annoying！I checked with BMO and was told that they have no reason to call me in that way. Please let the ECMP know and ask the police use their technical expertise to catch the callers behind this number.

  • December 30, 2021 at 5:30 PM by an anonymous user from: Laval, Quebec, Canada

    I received their call 2 days in a row -

    1.I DID NOT CALL the 1-666-676-2269 they provided incase if its a scam they would have confirmation that my telephone number is valid in their data base and sell my number to other scammers to call me with the same modus operandi.

    2.Instead I called directly my bank and had them confirm that they did not call me and everything is in order with my account.

    3.I then googled online the number provided and validated that I am not the only to whom this has happened. I proceeded with the advice of many here and blocked the number.

    4.Furthermore, my voicemail does not provide my full name - so the scammers can not connect my number to a real name.

  • December 4, 2021 at 10:35 AM by an anonymous user from: Les Jardins-de-Napierville, Ste-Clotilde, Quebec, Canada

    for me it was not a robot

  • August 26, 2021 at 5:12 PM by an anonymous user from: Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

    I am getting these robocalls. Two nights in a row, exact same time. I do have BMO account but no loans or credit cards. I sent BMO a note about it and requested any information. The call is quick and they don't give you much time to copy down number etc but I am ready for them tonight. How do you block calls?

    • February 16, 2022 at 12:23 AM by an anonymous user from: South Surrey, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

      I blocked on my cell phone and I no longer hear them call but they can still leave voice messgaes. Very annoying！

  • February 23, 2021 at 8:14 AM by an anonymous user from: Central London, London, Ontario, Canada

    I got calls from this number every 2 days, and there is a lady named Nitten (similar) said my name correctly and ask me call her back regarding my account issues. I block this number, so it come to my voice mail directly. Always calls me around 9:00 am to 11:00am.

    • June 27, 2021 at 3:32 PM by an anonymous user from: Creekside Park, Tomball, Texas, United States

      I have been getting these calls for about a year now, I have also called BMO and there is nothing wrong with my accounts. I have blocked them but still shows up in my callers list. They call me EVERY day, sometimes more than once and at all hours of the day and night

    • March 9, 2021 at 9:12 PM by an anonymous user from: Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, Canada

      I do work for Bmo and this is the collection’s number, it means that your account is past due, if you do not pay and keep ignoring the calls without taking payment arrangements your credit bureau will be affected .

      • February 16, 2022 at 5:12 PM by an anonymous user from: South Surrey, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

        Not really，I checked with BMO and was told they had no reason to call me at all. But the “BMO” with that number keep calling me everyday.

  • December 24, 2020 at 6:04 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    I receive calls consistently from this number saying there is something wrong with my account. I received these calls at my work number (which I have never provided to anyone). Actually, almost everyone in my aisle also receives these calls. I have also received them on my cell phone. I have never had a BMO account, I have never been into a BMO. I phoned BMO directly and they assured me this was a fraudulent call and also assured me there is no record of my name or an account set up with BMO. I do not owe anything to anyone. I have always paid my bills on time. I have also reported this number on several occasions.

  • December 24, 2020 at 6:03 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    The telephone number 1 888 676 2269 called me today and left a message saying it was from the BMO call center. gave me the # again saying there was something amiss with my account!. I called MY actual bank branch and NOTHING was amiss with my account No late payments NA DA..

    3 days ago the same number called and said they were from Dodge Chrysler.. (happen to have Dodge) wanting me to update all my info and started asking questions... The SAME # AS THE BMO # told them NO and hung up!

  • December 24, 2020 at 6:01 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    I missed a call on my cell phone, the message said to call BMO for some vague reason relating to my credit card account. I called BMO (the number on the back of the card, not the number that called me) and was told everything was fine, there were zero issues.

    If you do get a call from this 888 number it is a scam, don't call them back. If you need to contact BMO then call the number that's listed on their website or on the back of your credit/debit card.

  • December 24, 2020 at 6:00 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    I believe this is a highjacked number. When you actually call the number, it is a line that goes to BMO debt collection. As a debt collection line, it is normal to not find the number posted on their website since the line is private. HOWEVER if you answer the call, when being called and get a person, the people on the line are scammers trying to get personal information. Our resident who is receiving these calls does have a BMO account but after calling BMO ourselves, have it on official authority that none of her accounts are outstanding and she should NOT be receiving calls from the collections dept.

  • December 24, 2020 at 5:59 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    This number calls almost every day Monday to Sunday. Say they are BMO. Never leave the name of the person they want to contact. I or anyone in my household do not have any credit cards, loans, or mortgages with BMO. I never answer when I don't know who is calling.

  • December 24, 2020 at 5:58 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    I received a call from this number stating my wife is in arrears on her credit card and they want a $38 payment now. However, we have a receipt for a $500 payment just a week ago. Not in arrears, never been in arrears. I think it's time to switch to CIBC or at least some other financial institution. I've had just about enough of crooked BMO collections agents that can barely speak English calling and harassing me when I and my wife always make our payments on time.

  • December 24, 2020 at 5:58 AM by an anonymous user from: New York, United States

    It's hilarious this scam and thread have been going for 13 yrs. Just started getting calls saying to call this number. Called my number on my BMO card. The service representative says they have not been calling. Total scam. Can't wait for the next call. Not gonna be pretty.

  • December 24, 2020 at 5:56 AM by an anonymous user from: Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, California, United States

    The number may or may not be a BMO phone number but since scammers frequently spoof legitimate phone numbers, there's no guarantee all calls from it are BMO.

  • December 24, 2020 at 5:54 AM by an anonymous user from: New York, United States

    MO is calling me every day

    BMO has been calling me almost every day for a month or more.

    It's an automated message telling me to call their account management, regarding issues with my account.

    I do not have a BMO account, never had a BMO account in my life.

    The phone number for me to call is 1-888-676-2269, which comes up on their website so it seems legit

    When I called to ask them to stop calling me, they asked me for my personal information, including my DOB.

    When I refused to give it to them as I have no relationship with BMO, they said there is nothing they can do until they verify my identity...
