how to stop robo calls? scam calls? debt collector calls? answering the calls and there is no one there! never leave messages! can't call back as #'s are discontinued??????????

This telephone number belongs to:
CBV COLLECTION SERVICES
814 Richards Street. Vancouver, B.C.

CBV is a debt collection agency.  They perform debt collection services for many different companies, including TELUS.

It was just silent.

Received a call from someone who left this number for a callback. The person did not leave her name, just the number. Call Display showed "unknown caller". Message left indicated caller was from "CBV Vancouver", which turns out to be a collection agency.

So many different numbers call me. I didn't even answer this one, but I assume nothing is said.

I recently became the latest target of these phone trolls, they called last Friday for the first time and it showed up as "unavailable" on call display, (sneaky buggers!). I let the answering machine take it and a female voice identified herself as Maria and requested that I call her back at 770-338-2288, Extension 15011. She was looking for a Keith Blaine, (there is no Keith living at my place). She wanted me to call back about an "important financial matter" and that was it.  By looking up this number online I see it is a collection agency. This is most interesting as I have no debts no credit cards and owe no money anywhere. Based on what I have read online I personally believe that it is some kind of phishing scam.  If I were any of you I wouldn't give these guys one syllable of information. They somehow got my unlisted number and they're going to learn the hard way that I don't take nuisance calls.  I once endured a flood of calls from a single telemarketing firm over a 5 month period and I outlasted them. In all those instances they got nothing but answering machine, my message even says that telemarketing or unknown callers will be ignored.  CBV can call all they want but they won't ever get through.

I no longer answer my land-line unless I recognize the calling party's number, I let my answering machinepick-up the incoming calls.My outgoing message to all calling parties is a continuous recording of the Jeopardy theme tune, which Ifound on YouTube!!!
