i got several calls and vaicemails from them in the past few months (all automated calls, no actual person).today, as i was writing up a report to send in on them, i wanted to verify the number and called it again.this time a lady answered. I asked :"who are you?" she said "Natale Law Firm".I said, "why do you call up people and leave automated messages?"she said: "what number is it that we called which you are asking about?"i said: "you're funny, aren't you?"she said: "well then we'll have to call back when we have your number."i said: "the police might call you first".she said: "that's ok"i said goodbye and hung up.this just goes to show that not only are they a fraud but that they are used to people calling back upset at them and they just calmly ignore you and will continue to call.i was actually surprised that someone answered...has anyone else here ever gotten an answer? maybe try calling today and see if you do too...i sent a complaint to phonebusters but the only real place to complain is the police and i doubt that would do any good if these guys are around since 2005 and are still not shut down. too bad.

I get similar messages, but they say they want to talk to a Dan Carrigan. It's obviously a scam because they don't give the Agency's name.

I recieve this call too , Who are they ? Why they are calling me ? There is recorded message about documents they sent to methrough mail. I didn't recieve any docs.

lets get these b*****ds they woke me out of a hangover sleep

From the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Affairs Web siteThe Collection Agencies Act prohibits collection agencies from doing certain things.The Ontario Ministry of Government Services consulted the collection industry to develop a standard to be followed by all collectors. Having a standard also allows the public to have a better understanding of what collection agencies can and can't do.The regulations forbid collection agencies from:contacting you until six days have passed from sending you written notice of the following: ? the name of the creditor ? the balance owing ? the name of the agency and its authority to demand paymentcontinuing to contact you if you did not receive the notice unless a second copy of the written notice is sent to an address provided by you, and then contact may only be made six days after sending notice;contacting you if you send a registered letter to the agency saying that you dispute the debt and suggest the matter be taken to court;contacting you if you or your lawyer notify the agency by registered mail to communicate only with your lawyer, and you provide the lawyer's name, address and telephone number;contacting you on Sunday, except between the hours of 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., and on a holiday;contacting you other than by ordinary mail more than three times in a seven-day period without your consent, once the agency has actually spoken with you;using threatening, profane, intimidating or coercive language, or using undue, excessive or unreasonable pressure;continuing to contact you if you have told them that you are not the person they are looking for unless they take reasonable precautions to ensure you are that person;giving false or misleading information to any person;recommending to a creditor that a legal action be commenced against you without first sending you notice;contacting your employer except on one occasion to obtain your employment information, unless your employer has guaranteed the debt, the call is in respect of a court order or wage assignment or if you have provided written authorization to contact your employer;contacting your spouse, a member of your family or household, or a relative, neighbour or acquaintance except to obtain your address and telephone number unless the person contacted has guaranteed the debt or you have given permission for the person to be contacted.

They've been calling me since boxing day, almost every business day. It's driving me crazy. I used to have a lot of debt, but I consolidated and don't think I owe any mystery debt. They never say who they're calling for, and they never say what company they're calling from. They just say it's a "time sensitive issue", and to call back quoting the case number they give (which isn't the same as the one above in the comments). I just called and left a message on their voicemail on the 1-866 number asking them to take me off of their calling list. I just left the number they're calling me at, not my name or anything else. If I keep getting calls, I'll be talking to Rogers and seeing if I can get their number blocked.
