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!

I got call from this phone, and my wife pick-up. They are scam, and they give phone number, 1-+1 888-771-5803 to call back and tracking #2494365 and told me to own Canadian Tire Credit card. I think this is scam call when I call this -1888- number, if they do not have security record for monitor (this is scam). Hang-up and never give them your address, sin, birth, any your ID.They are got to high-tech to scam you.

Not true.....yes it is illegal for lenders to use debts more than 6 years old against you which is why debts are removed from your credit after a 6 year period. Statute of limitations does not mean debts aren't collectable it simply means that no legal action can be taken against you from that point. The exception to this rule would be if you acknowledge the debt by either sending them some sort of written acknowledgment or more simply by making a payment. If you do this you reset the statute of limitations regardless of how old the debt is.

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

Very rude lady named Laura, calls saying my son owes money from years ago.....I give her my son's number and she gets very annoyed.  If I hang up, she calls back till I pick up.  Very harassing person.  Anyone know how to stop these early morning calls?

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!
