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!

Tell them to take you to court and produce the paperwork or you will pursue harassment charges. If your debt is 15 years old, chances are there will be no paperwork and it is a written off debt by the original creditor. A judge will laugh at them and tell them to get the hell out of his court and stop wasting his time.

I have been getting this harrassing call for about 3 months none stop dialy up to 5 or 6 times a day sometimes. i pick it up annd no one answers, i only hear click. finally about 6 days ago someone finally left a msg...2 girls talking, one giving directions, and the other saying whatever i dont think i did this right, where did you get this number, and no one saying where they were from, or who they were. 3 days later i get another message, and in a darth vader sounding mechanical shaky like they were under water voice. all i can make out is this is dave...and then that is all. i reported them to this number1-+1 800-889-9768 which i had gotten from the Police services. i also had the phone service provider lock out all telelmarketing calls, as that was all they could do for me at this point. i had never gotten a letter saying anything about i owed anything, but they have been calling me often, which i was told was in direct violation as they must send letters to ppl before calling them. that i have reported them the place i called is like a watchdog service. and told me to make sure i sent my file # from them, and my ph#, and let them know that i had been gettign these harrassing phone calls and that it is in direct violation of the poloicies that are set out,and if they didnt stop that i could file an official complaint with the registrars office and they could be charged/fined. the fax number for CRS is 1-(905) 403-8258 and to address it to the Pres/Owner of CRS

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?

Today (780) 328-6135 called it was just a machine telling me i will receive a letter witt a reference number maching the one the machine give to me.A little reseach on the net point out that these harrassing phone call are realy from a collection agencie, and there the same people using illégal technique like seaching your personnel info or calling every matching name to find you or sending garantie approval credit card application, this way they get your updated info phone number ext,,,,,,.

I got a call from 1-(780) 328-6135.  I picked it up and an automated voice was on the line.  It said it had a message for me, so I waited for 5 minutes of dead air space.  I was annoyed and hanged up after there was no response or message.  Truly very annoying.  After doing net research, found the number belonged to Crs Contact Resource Services.

why call me then an answer machine talks no company name or anything shows up just a number
