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!

Good thing i didn't answer! I didn't recognize the number and i don't have long distance calls. Lol this kind of calls should stop, waste of time and waste of money for people who get charged for long distance calls.

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.

I just dealt with these people, i paid an old, old bill of $1000.  My wife insists that this was dealt with already but stupid ole me didn't keep any receipts of paying them.  Is there anyway that i can find out if the bill was dealt with previously??

Just recieved an annoying call from some woman who yelled at me for an account that was paid off over 10 years ago !!!!!!!   The number was (780) 328-6135.  She was just too rude for words so I hung up on her.  Tried calling that number and got a recording that it was out of service.Now I'll recognize it and not answer again.  This kind of attempt at bullying is not lawful in Canada anymore as far as I know.

They are looking for Christine. But we don't know her either any relationship.
