709 is an areacode from Newfoundland, Canada.  It's not a scam to receive a call from a 709 number.

me to they keep calling for 6 years for the same person who dont live here

I get the calls too. They are very rude. When I tell them that I'm the cleaning lady and who they're are looking for isn't home they call me a liar. I told him if he hadn't called me a liar and wasn't being rude I would've taken a message but not now. I said bye and hung up. Yes while I'm there I'm to answer phone as well as clean.

This is a valid debt collection company but like most debt collectors they resort to unpleasant tactics. A very annoying thing is that their computer would call me at times when their office is closed... so you call them back and there is no one to answer the call.  That in itself should be made illegal. Whether or not they have valid information from the company that initiated the debt collection action is a whole other issue.

This is a scam from ARC - Account Recovery Corp . . . they were trying to get us to pay for an old hydro bill that was from a tenant in the place that we live (we built a new house) - this was over 5 years ago

Remember guys, if its a cell phone you can just add it to the block list or reject list!
