Called continuously looking for someone who doesn't live at our house.
Death to telemarketing
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.

PER: infoguyDATE: 10 May 2012Just so everyone knows, & this will-p****off the collection agents: by Federal Law, a collection agency has the power to "Ask You to pay your bill and offer assistance in setting up a payment schedule" That is all. 1) they are never allowed to call you at your place of employment for any reason.2) they can not, under any circumstances, harrass you into payment, by phone, mail or in person & they may not threaten you or your credit standing in any way.3) You do not have to deal with a collection agency at any time. You are only obligated to deal with the original creditor, even if the agency has bought the account from them. You do not have to deal with them. 4) a collection agency can not put negative information on your credit file.5) so in short... all they can do is "nicely" ask you to pay your bill. But we all know that they generally go way beyond that.If you are having a problem with an agency, call the consumer bureau and report them and if it is a serious harassment issue, or call at your place of employment, contact the police and file charges. These are federal laws that they must follow, but most offen do not and will push it to the limit. Yes, several collectors have been fired and / or charged under these laws. Some even jailed. Their employers usually get a fine & tell the authorities they never asked the employee to do that, thus leaving the employee on their own to take the blame. True sharks in every way.If you are having financial issues, & most people do at one point or another in their lives, call a credit counselling service in your area. They are a free service in every province and will assist you. Do not deal with collectors on your own. If you can not afford to pay, the service will understand & work with you, without any judgement toward you, and no credit bruising. The calls stop immediately.

I've gotten calls from this number over the past few days. they just hang up when I answer. Don't know who they are, or why they're calling here.

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.
