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!

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

Just recieved an annoying call from some woman who yelled at me for an account that was paid off over 10 years ago !!!!!!!   The number was (780) 328-6135.  She was just too rude for words so I hung up on her.  Tried calling that number and got a recording that it was out of service.Now I'll recognize it and not answer again.  This kind of attempt at bullying is not lawful in Canada anymore as far as I know.

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.

Second call this week from (780) 328-6135 - automated voice says they are calling from Contact Resource Services and they sent out some mail to me stating that I have a very important offer please call them back right away.  Have been dealing with these scum for years now regarding a debt they say I owe for an item I never purchased from a store I have never purchased from - this is now year 11!!  Have tried every channel to force them to stop contacting me and I am at my wits end.  Anyone have any suggestions... or is it time for legal action??
