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!

just a pain in the [***] harrassing phone call no people just music

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!!!!

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.

I did not answer this call because it is a number I don't recognise. What makes me mad is that they called my cell phone long distance which I get charged for even if I don't answer. This kind of crap should be illegal.

Jane from CRS is getting desperate... LOLTwo calls today exactly one minute apart.  Left two identical messages. These guys try to collect old stats barred debts that are WAY over the statute of limitations and are notorious for harrassing people for debts they don't owe. They have been harrassing me for over seven years.  The last time I actually talked to them i told them to send me a copy of the original contract I apparently signed for this debt.  They told me to send them a hand signed letter so they could "compare" the signatures from the letter and the " contract".  I told them they promised to send a copy of the contract seven years ago and I'm still waiting.  They can't produce it because they don't have it !!!!  Don't send these guys ANYTHING and don't answer their phone calls either.  They are rude, ignorant of the collection laws and once you communicate with them they will never let up.Number on call display shows as " unknown".
