I pressed 1 and went through to an operator who said my number had a case looking for "fred flintstone" ... I asked him if he thought I was stupid and he said he'd take my number off the call list

they call for overdue bills on behalf of cogeco

they called me too this morning early at 9am, asking for my birthdate to confirm and whether I recieved a brown envelope in the mail. Whether or not i said no. I also have 1-+1 866-988-0885 call me everyday as well as 'unknown numbers' and 'private numbers'. I do owe a cable company just under $1000, and they outsource their deliquent customers after a while. This allows anyone else to set up shop and say they are collecting on their behalf. This has got to stop. I wonder if they will call me on Christmas too?

Upon seeing this other post, I will be reporting them too.
"My mother just got ANOTHER call from these people.  I was livid and called the law firm and gave them s**t.  I have also called CRTC - DO NOT CALL LIST (her number was registered) and reported them 1-+1 866-580-3625,then called PHONEBUSTERS - THEY DEAL WITH FRAUDULENT PHONE CALLS 1-+1 888-495-8501 and will be calling THE LAW SOCIETY OF UPPER CANADA 1-+1 800-668-7380 shortly to report them. PLEASE - anyone who gets calls from these morons report them to ALL 3 instituions. Unfortunately, they have probably ripped off countless people and it needs to stop."

Thanks for the advice

Strange Law Office call, says to hold for an "important" conversation ,quotes a file number. Could be that Collection Agency scam. Natale Law firm. I owe no money, so can't imagine what this is except a (*(#*@& sCAM!!!

got message from a law firm,Natalie left message in my phone with the case number.
Another scam

When i answered the phone today (it only showed this number no name as it was my cell) the automated voice said "Federal Law prohibts us from leaving a message on a phone please press 1" What is this? I was in an appointment so i just hung up but then i started wondering what it was and if it was a collection agency or something else anyone have any simular experiences recently?
