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!

This letter to "collection agents" stops the harassment:One of your subordinates, who refused to identify herself, telephoned me, saying I owed one of your clients, due to an outstanding debt. She admits you hold the paper which tells me that you bought the alleged debt.  Ergo, the 'client' no longer has proof of claim. If I were to bring said client into a court of competent jurisdiction, they could not bring forth anything but a false claim which is in violation of the Criminal Code of Canada ©  §362.1You have bought a 'bad debt', meaning: one which the alleged creditor cannot prove is valid. That is the reason they sold it to you. I suggest you request a signed statement from your client wherein he swears, under his full, personal, commercial liability, that I, the principal on the account, owe their institution.  I promise, they will refuse you. Accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe your client. Now, you intend to hold me responsible for paying YOUR debt. Yet, your company and I have no contract and, since all law is Contract Law, accordingly, I couldn't possibly owe you, either.Millions of people are quickly learning that the only ammunition that you third-party debt collectors have is intimidation. Threatening that you will apprise the credit reporting agencies of a ?bad debt? is unlawful: it is illegal to report false information and making threats is in violation of §346.1 of CCC©. You have no verified claim. Would you pay someone who, over the telephone, claimed you owed him money? I wouldn?t either. Your only contract is with the original alleged creditor. If you bought a debt, that's too bad, because at that instant, the matter ceased to have anything to do with me. Have you noticed that when you ring me, I am at home and you are at work?  This is because, unlike you, I have learned to live without having to 'slave-labour' for 'money'. It is only a matter of time before everyone catches onto this and you ALL will be looking for honest work and that is only because you still believe you have to 'earn your living' ... and that is due to your refusal to learn how to set-off debt, simply, lawfully, honourably.  "The ultimate ignorance is the rejection of something you know nothing about and refuse to investigate." - Dr. Wayne DyerDo not ring this number again. If you do, I'll apprise the original alleged creditor that I am appointing you as fiduciary debtor and, via your contract with them, YOU will be liable for payment because you are the one HOLDING the obligation. Do not accept legal counsel from attorneys who will tell you this is inaccurate.  They have a vested interest. Subsequent telephone calls will be construed as harassment which is in violation of §372 of CCC©, making you liable for a punishment of 2 years in prison. Additionally, sending unsubstantiated demands for payment via Canada Post constitutes mail fraud under section 381 of CCC©, also punishable by 2 years in prison.Do yourself a favour and read:  How I Clobbered Every Bureaucratic Cash-Confiscatory Agency Known to Man ....

These people will lie about anything,  say that they have bought old your debt, and that you owe them money from 15 or 16 years ago,  and they also mail you saying the same thing,  but every time its a different amount.  don't deal with these people,  they are just lying scum who are after a quick, buck.  Call and report them!!!!!  They use pretend to be Canada post to get your information.  They will tell anyone who answers the phone that you owe them money. and will malign you to anyone that will listen.

I missed their call. I will take calls and leave the phone open so it eats up their time. There always seems to be some scam doing the circuits!

They are are now using an Edmonton phone # (780) 328-6135 and still using the priority mail lies. They left the 1-+1 877-881-8088 number as well as a tracking number. You would think it would be illegal to pose as the post office's lost and misplaced department.

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.

Thanks this number just called me,Glad I did not answer it. There was no msg left.
