They also contracted to a company in Victoria who does Government Research on Food Banks, they have someone inside passing any relevant information on. Another tactic is to phone pretending to be Microsoft and telling you that there is a problem with your Windows Software, they then try and convince you to give access to your computer and lock it holding it hostage until you pay them. Don't think they use this one anymore though as it is criminal and usually doesn't work, read a few people got stung. More proof linux is better anyway.

I got called from this unknown number many times...this is part of spam and I called back saying voicemail is full.....wasting my time!

If the debt is more than 6 yrs old, it would be off your credit profile and no longer collectible unless it's a government debt. I think that anyone claiming to be a collection agency and going after old debts should be reported to the police, it sounds fraudulant to me.

It doesn't matter if you move, they will still find you.  CRS will find you anywhere - trust me.  I had a bad debt to Citibank Visa and in the recession of 91-92 my business tanked and I should have just filed for bankruptcy but I didn't.  My file was sent first to a lawyer and then several different credit collection companies.  And then after a few years nothing happened, until this year.  They found me,  I have no idea how, but they did.  Called my home phone, which is in my daughter's name. and then they called my cell phone.  And then they sent mail to my last employers office.  So if you don't want to be found don't open a bank account, have a phone, etc.  You get the picture.  The guy that I used to work for invests in those companies that buy up bad debt for cents on the dollare and therefore have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  I've seen the numbers.  They are like Hitler on the warpath to wealth.

Very rude lady named Laura, calls saying my son owes money from years ago.....I give her my son's number and she gets very annoyed.  If I hang up, she calls back till I pick up.  Very harassing person.  Anyone know how to stop these early morning calls?

Message on machine said it was Lisa from CRS (Contact Resource Services??). I accidentally hit erase instead of stop at that point, so didn't get a call back #.

received a call from this (780) 328-6135 and they stated they were calling from Purolator and that my parcel has been returned... hmm..... since when does do they call about this and since when do we not receive any information in the mail for pick up LOL!!! she asked me my mailing address and information and I wanted to know more about this so called parcel as to where it was being sent from she did not know and she would have to check... I inquired about well then go and check to see and come back on the phone and tell me I also told her that once she was able to tell me where it came from I would tell her my mailing address as to where I am now.... LIEING CHEATING &*&* really makes me mad what this world has come to and as well as what it is turning into it is pathetic!!!!

I am getting calls 2-3 times a week at my work from (780) 328-6135. I know they are calling regarding an OLD Canadian Tire MasterCard from 16yrs ago. Since then I have bought a house/car and good credit. Plus it doesn't even show up on my credit bureau. Honestly I have no intentions of paying them. Does anyone know how to get them to stop calling my work?
