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 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.

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.

After a break of two months theses idiots ar back using ther auto dialer!!!!Very anoying...and ver much a scam...even if you owe mone ignor the calls...wait for a official letter via certified mail...this company is nortoious for tring to collect on prevously paid, or very very old Stats barred debit... ...............stop anoying us!!!

i get calls from them on my cell, they leave me messages claiming to be from CRS, its annoying;

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".

Tell them to take you to court and produce the paperwork or you will pursue harassment charges. If your debt is 15 years old, chances are there will be no paperwork and it is a written off debt by the original creditor. A judge will laugh at them and tell them to get the hell out of his court and stop wasting his time.
