This number is a scam - i KNOW for a fact i do not owe anything. First of all - i keep very very tight hold of my credit, have gotten a refund from the government every year, my work covers my mspo plus I called them and they said my account was clear. i have one credit card that has no balance, i have students loans in repayment. this is a scam and i feel bad for anyone they are harassing that has debt and falls for whatever scam this is. Everytime they pretend I owe somethign and I tell them no i do not i talked to CRA last time you called from a different number - it stops for awhile, then it continues form a different number in a few weeks.

They keep calling me for a month then send me a letter about owning debt of MSP with another strange account which is not mine, and saying contract their office in 10 days, to prevent further legal action be commmenced against to me...!! but actually i am paying my MSP every month and i am not owning any debt to them. IS there anyone like me, to receive this kind of letter? and how you guys deal with it? Thx!

They state that they are a collection agency, and they keep on calling my number from several other numbers (switching every few days):(250) 940-0280(778) 945-0062+1 877-762-7070(250) 940-0449(604) 336-8359(250) 999-1106Most don't even leave a message for you, calls me back continuously (almost 3-5 times per day, every single day), to the point where I've added their numbers on my phone simply labelled as SPAM so I don't pick up, and leave my phone on vibrate when they do call.The funny thing is that they keep on calling my CELLPHONE. For every government-related document, all that I have listed is my Home Landline, which is in a whole 'nother city in BC. If they have beef with me about anything legitimate, then they would call my house and my parents would let me know what's up (like how they would send me documents to my house address rather than to me directly to where I am currently staying at, since I'm still a student).This company can be one of several things:1. A scam where some company buys off or steals your private information, like phone numbers and names, and try to siphon money from you pretending that they are from a legitimate company because there are probably a good handful of people who will actually believe them (which I think they are). Then they recycle through a bunch of random unused numbers and run your number back through their machines.2. A collection agency that's bought off government debts of the person who owned your (cell)phone # before you took over it (unlikely).What to do when this happens and it turns out to be a scam:1. Collect all of the numbers harassing your # and report them to your cellphone company or to a government administrator for fraud and harassment.2. If you are nearing the end of your contract for your cellphone (like me), consider switching to a new phone company and a new # (which I will be doing very soon because this is driving me INSANE).3. Block the numbers if you are on a landline or your cellphone contract cannot be renewed yet.Seriously, I'm at the end of my line. I am planning on switching to a new cellphone by the end of the month. This is ridiculous and getting out of hand. I can't always go to my phone 3-5 times a day for another month thinking that it's "SPAM" calling again.

They are collection company that buys debts from the goverment. THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE GOVERMENT!! Any collection agency is only allowed BY LAW, to contact you once a month, any more then that is harassment! The debt is also only good for 7 years from the time they bought it from whomever sold them the debt in court. Basiclly these debts get bid on in a sort of auction through court. After 7 years, BY LAW they can not collect anything thanks to the statute of limitations law. FYI and pass it on.

This is a scam: caller leaves mssg saying i owe canada revenue agency $5000.00. must pay within an hour otherwise, my name will be blacklisted, all assets frozen, (driving license , bank accounts, passports) The caller's # is : (250) 999-9061They tell you to withdraw cash - go to the Homedeopt/canadian tire - get prepaid gift cards - scratch the pin no and give this no. to the rouge caller and keep the receipt for my records and enter this reciept confirmation in my tax form. These are nothing but con men pretending to be CRA officials. I have reported this to the police and they say as the crime is under $5000 - it does not qualify as a major crime. while I was at he police station reporting this crime another no calls pretending to be a police officer - I gave the phone to the 'real police officer' and this rouge person was unable to answer- kept on saying that he only want to talk to me no one else.Just wanna let the whole world know of my ordeal with these scammers - rot in hell these people - preying on law abiding citizens - who work hard for their money.
