We received 2 calls this week from this number... It was hard to make out what the message was saying the first time they called, but we managed to understand it today. It was an automated message stating they were calling from a Mr Bloonsteins' office at the NCR, and if we do not call back within 24 hours they would proceed with legal action... So we returned the call to the toll free number... and what a rude individual he was! When we asked questions regarding his call, he would not reply, and he was so frustrated that he hung up! No individual working in a law office or a government office, would ever have this type of phone etiquette!!
Since this was a fishy call, we did a reverse phone # lookup, and came across all the complaints posted throughout Canada. We contacted the RCMP Fraud department via email to report these crooks.
Here's to hoping they catch them soon and have these ridiculous calls come to an end!!

I have had the exact same problem. They have been calling for three years now for someone named Angela who does not live at this number. I have blocked every number they call from and they continue to call from different numbers demanding money or threatening to persue legal action. The messages always say they are from "Mr. Boulstine's" ? at NCR, and leave a number to call 1-+1 800-588-4024... Every time I pick up the phone the automatic recording comes on -- I have gotten two versions, one from a man and one from a woman - If I don't answer they leave the recorded message on our machine, which clearly states our first names... NO ANGELA!!!

I have never called this number as I am skeptical if it will solve the issue of them constantly calling me. They will probably ask my name whereas I am not Angela, and there is NO way in creation that I am going to give them my name... Any suggestions???... This has been happening now 2-3 times per day. We moved to this residence and have had this number for 3 years now - I can't even be sure that "Angela" ever did have this number prior to us, but I am getting annoyed with being harrassed by these constant calls with the same recorded message, looking for someone who no longer lives at this number... Sounds like a SCAM!!!

How to find who exactly called from 1-(780) 328-3711 phone? I understand that this is some scammy collection agency and they left the phone to call them 1- +1 800-588-4024 (as I understand, from NRC collection agency). I picked up the phone, nevertheless automatic message told me that they can't reach me and that, if I don't contact them, they will proceed with legal matter in my absence. Last year I stopped one collection agency in Mississauga (NCR or NRC) after complained to the Ministry of Consumer. I had to send proof to the Ministry and finally the agency left ,me alone. I still have the number of the complaint, so I guess I need to call to the Ministry again, but I don't know who exactly was calling and turned on that harassing automatic message when I picked up ?the phone. The guy from the agency (last year) was so rude on the phone that I was shocked. Of course, they bought not existing "debts" from Premier club whom I attended for a while and stopped going after my membership was over, but the Premier decided that they could continue charging me biweekly without my consent on it, ignoring our previous agreement that they should send me a letter 90 days prior new year, but they didn't. So, that was fake debt. The agency threatened me that they will spoil my credit history and that it is easier to pay than to proof that I don't owe anybody any money. That was "terrific". The Ministry of Consumer told me that the agency has no legal right and power to report to credit bureau. After I complained the calls stopped right away. It was a person who now probably sold my "debt" to someone else from this collection agency system. I need to know the name, I can't complain saying the telephone number...I couldn't get the name - it was something like Mr. Blunstine... but I am not sure. Was somebody else  disturbed by this person and found out about who is it more? I couldn't reach them in the evening (probably the telephone was set up on automatic dialing), and I can imagine how they are going to talk...

This company called and left a nasty voice mail message, that they would sue me if I did not call back in 10 minutes. No mention of who they were, or why they were calling but just this nasty threatening comment. I did not bother to call back as I consider a call like this harassing. Looking on here I assume they were debt collectors as I just got this telephone number and get a lot of debt collectors from the previous owner of the number.  I do not live in Alberta.

this has been calling for my husband for over a week finally he called back and they claimed to be a credit recovery agency, for a bill from a power company over 5 years ago, so he went to the bank and paid the $275. He did owe a power bill from long time ago so we assumed this was a legit collection agency. sure hope we were'nt scammed out of this.

They keep calling and calling looking for some guy named Gabriel. Has been going on for 5 years....that is right 5 years of this harassment. I talk to them each time and the liars say they will remove my number but nope....it continues into infinite. I have never heard of this guy Gabriel, I don't know a single person named Gabriel but they still keep calling and calling and calling.

How do I get these idiots to stop....my number according to all of the different named people I have spoken to has been removed but this doesn't stop.

I hate these kinds of incompetent companies.

Good info on your post...It is staggering to think, that in this century, an Agency can use gangsterism, in order to recover money. Most of the people in this thread, probably don't even owe anyrhing. As I never answer calls I don't recognize, I don't subscribe to any foolishness that results from dealing with Telemarketing / Collections Scams or Surveys. Block their # and be done with them.
