Had the same call.  Right surname wrong name, but initials were correct.  When I asked what was all this about, a girl said it's a small business matter, apologized, and hung up.

The number displayed was (780) 441-4000

simple solution, don't spend money you don't have!

They have been hounding me for WEEKS for an old energy bill from 2009. I used the same company for energy until 2010 and was never sent anything saying I owed almost 500 dollars. I never admitted to the debt but asked for a invoice to show me why I owed it and what house and they keep making up excuses on why I have not recieved it and always end with you should probably just pay the debt. Ummm no. I haven't even lived in Alberta for 2 1/2 years and now this is coming up!? Suppppper sketchy and i'm not falling for it!

NCO is very much less then honourable. I don't even answer the phone on any unknown name. I get messages about an important "business" matter to call back about. I worked for the Cash Store for 9 months. NCO was calling people with payday loans that were not overdue to have them pay NCO. I don't know how they get hold of information like that. However do NOT when they call EVER give them the missing details! There is a 2 year statue on unsecured debts in Ontario. They can not collect unless you admit to owing the debt. Even if you want to pay the debt companies like NCO are debt scammers and there is no gtee the companies owed will get paid. Or that NCO bought the debt.

I received a call from NCO (441-1000) and I have EXCELLENT credit. I phoned both Equifax and Trans Union to verify my file.  Nothing has ever gone to collection for me. I also receive yearly credit updates from Equifax to guarantee that nothing has gone fraudulent with my file.  NCO would not state what type of company they are, would not state why they were phoning, only that they received a file for me. There is absolutely nothing they would have received regarding a bad debt from me. I protect my credit and I am very proud of my excellent credit.  they would not provide any information to me until I provided them with personal information. I don't think so. They then stated that they would continue to contact me until I agreed to cooperate.  I am highly irritated and have no idea how to stop them from contacting me with this nonsense.
