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.

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.

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,,,,,,.

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.
