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!

Read this, actually they are in Mississauga Ontariohttp://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/pdf/under ... _Sept-29-10.pdf

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

thank you snowyjbeen getting this phone call for the past week and just called their toll free number and they said they were looking for a "Sandra Petagrew" nobody lives here by that name told them to quit phoning and they said they would quit so time will tell,again thanks for their phone number as now I can call them back and raise a little hell

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.

For those who have had calls from &(780) 328-6135 the company is Contact Resource Services in Mississauga, they buy old debts sort of like sub prime mortgages and then try to collect on them. They are already in trouble in Alberta http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/pdf/under ... _Sept-29-10.pdf and constantly change numbers.  One trick they used to use to try and get information was to call and tell you there was a problem with your computer and try to get them to allow access. Now they apparently send mail out basically to friends and relatives as well as neighbors to try and force payment. Another trick they use is accruing a ridiculous amount of interest and offering a deal if you pay up. As a matter of fact some of you may not even have remembered the debt as it could be some miniscule amount from 20 or 30 years ago. Remember like sub-primes they get these debts for pennies and then use illegal tactics. Note: They keep changing and masking the number as well you will find that when you do call it is just an answering machine that is always full.

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!!!!
