They have been calling and leaving messages on my answering machine for well over three months.Any idiot will know that if you have left bogus messages that long which are not being returned, better get lost and remove the numbers.Report these bastards to Law society of canada, phone busters and your MP.They also use another number +1 866-262-9537) through this automated syestem.These pimps think they can fool public by posting bogus messages and using different phone numbers.They posted a message on their other number saying they are legit.Legit my foot, they are pimps .They can go pimp their mothers.

From the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Affairs Web site
The 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 payment
continuing 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.

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...grrrrrAs 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.

I recvd a similar call, looks like a scam.

Thanks to everyone for their help.... I've been recieving calls from this number EVERY day, TWICE a day, since NOVEMBER. It's driving me crazy, and had me paranoid because they keep speaking of a legal matter being "escalated to high levels". I am a student and I do work to pay off my bills, but to my knowledge I have good credit thusfar and haven't missed any payments or done anything to warrant a financial crisis - I'm not even sure why I automatically assumed these messages were from the bank, I supopse that's what they want you to think so you call back :)
Anyways I wanted to thank all of you for your help, you've put my mind at ease for now. Definitely putting these fools on my call-block. Thanks again!
