To represent themselves as a Law Office is a significant breach of, guess what...The Law. So, the Law Society of Ontario should be looking at this and should be subjecting the caller(s) to the usual tests before:1. Asking the phone companies to close their accounts (which I can only hope are in the private name(s) of the individual(s) involved.2. Obtain an order preventing them from carrying out this kind of activity or any phone or internet-related, non-opt-in, attempt to infringe on the privacy of Canadian citizens.3.Cause them to repay any and all communications or other charges incurred by victims of their calling campaign, including regular cell phone charges.4. Should a practicing lawyer have lent his or her name and professional designation to the effort (for example, a collection agency), determine whether the effort is, in any fashion, in breach of Canada's privacy laws.  This would include both the collection and dissemination of information gathered via this or other campaigns and acquired databases.5. If found to be allowable under the law, require this agency to identify itself and provide out-out options and confirmation of same on both its call facility and its website.

they called me also saying it was my lawyer they had my first name!how did they get that?phone number is not in my namethis is creepy!!

They call me once a week, saying they're from a law office. They say that Rogers sent my bill to their collections office. I told them "Oh yeah? How do I know this is not a scam? Do u think I'm just going to give out my credit card number to pay my bill?" And the guy said "Write down this number, call Rogers and confirm that this is true. I will call u again tomorrow".He never called back!

Wow, do you know your stuffmany thanks to you, for helping many more of us sleep a little better tonight knowing all you have said.

I get called several times a day from (905) 413-8811 they are looking for a person that I do not even know. They tell me to return the call at 1-+1 800-234-1834 and then when I call they ask for a case number and they did not leave me a case number.

When you call them back all you get is an answering machine. I suugest that we all call the toll free number and talk for as long as the machine allows and then hang up and call them back again. I have called the Canada toll free number several times and left "babbling" messages for at least 10 minutes before the machine quits.
They are calling my business for someone that had this phone number before me, over 7 years ago. I have had collection companies call before and asked them to take my phone number off this guys record because it is a business phone and they usually remove it but then each time his account moves on to a new collections agency they start all over again. What frustrates me is that this is an endless circle because they do not answer their phones. There should be a law against then being able to call any time of the day or night 10-12 times a day.
