I got these annoying calls from this number around 7:50 AM Sat when people are still sleeping.

It is a collection agency.I have been getting the same calls, but it is for my husbands ex-wife.They won't remove the number from their call list. When I asked to speak toa supervisor, the guy said that I don't get that privilege.So I called him an a***ole and hung up.The a** crack called just after 7am

Got call from this number moments ago: (905) 489-5863. My line was busy. So I called back and message says: "This number is out of service or has been disconnected." Stange.

This number showed up on my phone this morning (about 916 AM, Saturday).  I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer and let my voicemail handle it, if the caller would leave a message.  The message was 'for a claim (I) have)' and gave a different, toll free, number which I should call back (1-+1 866-916-9162...which has a similar page like this one, check it out for some useful information about your rights and what a collection agent cannot do).  This other number was, like the one on my call display, for a collection agency/scam artist of some sort.

Needless to say, I don't know who they are since there was nothing about the company they purported to represent, nor was there any information about the alleged claim.

Regardless of one's personal situation, do not take calls from a number you do not recognize (and not from toll free callers), do not respond to these people or give out any personal information, and do not bother yourself with speaking with someone who is going to pressure you into something or verbally abuse/threaten you.

***If you do choose to speak with them, make sure you get their name (insist upon this, and an employee ID number, otherwise just hang up after telling them that they are required by law to provide such information to you), the name of the company for whom they work and find out the name and information of the company they claim to represent (usually they claim to be debt collectors, but often have no ties to the institution they claim to represent) and take the precaution of recording the call.  

Try to remain calm and reasonable (I know it is not easy, especially when insulted and repeatedly interrupted).  If the person with whom you speak will not/cannot help you, ask to speak to their supervisor (if they refuse, again remind them that it is your right to speak to someone with the proper authority to resolve your, not their, concerns...if not successful, hang up, but be polite).

The best policy with such aggressive and abusive people is to ignore them, otherwise you may need to report them to the provincial authorities (in Ontario, which is where the calls originate) and register a complaint.  Legal advice (try a free telephone consultation after speaking with Legal Aid) is also an option.
