They came to my house and offer a promotion and got a VOID Cheque. They then called from this number and wanted to bill a different amount. Wife got mad and said to forget about the subscription. Both the person that came to door and caller seemed African or similar accent. Beware. Now have to Report it to RCMP,Bank and Canadian Anti-Fraud site

I've had this call for the last week and ignored it until last night when curiousity got the better of me. An East Indian Gentleman claiming to be be from the Calgary Herald called to say they had been unable to process my last 2 payments, suspicion aroused straight away not only by the Manitoba number but as I only subscribed to the Herald the week before - calls started about 2 days later. He told me 4 numbers which he said were the last for digits of my credit card and could I confirm they were correct - the numbers were meaningless, and I assume a rouse to make me confirm and divulge the full 16 digits. When I confirmed to him the fake numbers were correct he got a little flustered, and stated that he had just processed my payment again and the card was declined, the speed at which this aleged transaction took place was also incredible. I thanked him for the information and said I'd call the bank. If the caller had been from the Herald I assume my delvery would have been stopped for non payment, but the caller was too stupid to add this little detail. Calls to the bank confirmed this is a fraud scam and to the Herald that my one and only payment was good. I am waiting too see if the bozo calls back tonight.

My concern is that this started almost immediately after the subcription started with the Calgary Herald , so I can't help thinking something may have been compromised there

(204) 284-0838 called again today. No one on the line this time. Same message when you call back. "Not in Service".  Bell Canada will not do anything about this type of consumer terrorism. Don't waste your time calling them. They suggest signing up for a call blocking service at XX dollars/month. It is like complaining to Darth Vader about the air conditioning system - they just don't care! Anyone care to comment?
