Received a letter in the mail from Natale Law Offices stating I owed ROGERS money, yet I have not been with ROGERS since I paid off a bill 4 years ago. I phoned ROGERS and they said there was nothing owing under my name and that the payment was made in full 4 years ago. I then called Natale Law Offices and spoke to a man who barely spoke english, when I told him my ordeal he put me on hold, when he came back to the phone he said "How can I help you?" lmao, the guy had no idea what was going on, so I got transfered to a girl and she said for me to email or fax her the details. I said I would rather speak to ROGERS and she then said that is fine but to make sure I get a letter from ROGERS stating I do not owe. I then told her that she can mail me as many letters as she wants because she won't be getting any money from me.Somehow this company is stealing or buying information. Whether it's people who actually do owe money or people who do not.I bet it's an extra cash grab for the government.Anyways, she can blow me.

i get same call from this natale law office , saying the i owe money , they even talk to my 10 year daughter saying see owe money , this should stop ,they call like 6 times a day

I just received a call from the a "law office" though I don't recall them stating the name of the firm.  Stating that an assistant in the office needs to speak to "Bruce".  OK so why call my phone...grrrrr

As far as I'm concerned this is a scam since everyone else has a similar story I know that I don't owe anyone anything.  Idiots!  They sure like to use up my cell mins having me retrieve their messages.

So tonight i get this call from this number saying my name and that its important and to push any buttom on my touch tone phone to speak to an agent. the message was automated number one clue in my brain because if a law office agent want to speak to me i would be getting a real person calling me, number two i live in alberta so its a two hour difference from ontario so they called at 5:47pm my time so thats 7:47pm ontario alittle past close don't ya think. number three when i called the number back they said all there agents were busy and to leave a message and someone will call back, no buisness hours and a message really. im not believing this crap for a min and i even check the natale law office web site and its a little plan jane .
