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!

Glad i found this site,got a call today have family out in fort so i thought it was them,called back and said inbox was full..

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.

Have received a few calls from (780) 328-6135 and also (604) 678-5888. Leaving a message for someone we've never heard of advising that action will be taken if we do not call "Laura" from Contact Resource Services and giving a reference number and alluding to a letter we've never seen nor do we know what this is even about. Weird.  All messages say to call 1.+1 888-771-5803 - I tried calling once but was on hold for awhile so I hung up.

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.

I received this contact information and have been in contact with them by phone twice (actually 5 times since my first call was transferred to a non-working line 3 times before I finally said take a message).  The automated voicemails started again yesterday, so I've put my final call into them.  They said it may not have worked the first time they removed my cell # as it may be linked to more than one account.  I am following up with a letter to this address and in it, I indicate that this will be my final message to them and that if the calls continue, I will be forced to take alternative action.Contact Resource Services Inc.2070 Hadwen RoadMississauga ONL5K 2C9Phone (905) 855-8106Toll-free +1 800-673-2203Fax (905) 403-1410
