i'm using fido (which is related to rogers, like how koodo is related to telus and solo is to bell). mine calls with the same automated message every time that starts off with, "need to help you get this result. an agent is waiting to assist you with this important matter press "1" now." with no mention of who they are. and i since i had extra minutes and was curious i went on and pressed '1'. and then it just told me to wait and wait and wait, and then in the end says that their agents are busy and gives me some crappy excuse. i think it's the phone company just trying to waste my minutes

It is illegal for these debt collectors to call you repeatedly after you have told them that you are not the person they are looking for.This is regulated by the Ministry of Consumer Services.I was having problems with a debt collector calling me for a relative's debt and they told me that they would keep bugging me until he called them. The collection company told me last night that there was no possible way to delete the number.  I simply called the Ministry and the agent called the collection company with me still on the line in a conference call.  They were instructed to remove my phone number and the person said she did.  I am to call back if I receive another call.  Here is the link to the ministry website with their contact info.http://www.sse.gov.on.ca/mcs/en/Pages/Complaint_Steps_to_File.aspx

I've been getting calls from this number 3 times today and twice yesterday and all I get is a recording telling me that they have called several times to "solve my problem". When I enter '1' as directed to get more information I get placed on hold. I end up hanging up because I don't have time to waste and I don't want to spend any money on someone I don't know. I have yet to speak to a real person. The only problem I have is that they keep calling. There is no identification on their recording of who is actually calling.

I'm an international student and obviously have no debts, except for my phone bill thats due.

I don't know why they are calling me and how they got my #.

very annoying.  I just ignore the calls

I don't pay my own bills, I'm a student, but these people call me, 4-8 times a day, at 1st I just thought it was another scam, but they call with just proficiency that i began to grow suspicious. The other day i received a call from what I believed was them in person, asked to be speak to me (by only mentioning 1st names) and began to tell me how I was in "trouble". As it turned out they were trying to reach a completely different person, from a completely different city, but just so happens to have the same common 1st name I do, with the same f***ing area code. I told them they were calling the wrong person, I was asked to verify this, and i thought that was the end. Long story short they still keep harassing me with those f***ing calls.

They call once or twice a day. They want to speak to someone that doesn't exist, never has at this number,  which we've had for over 15 years. They were told no one here by that name but they keep calling. I wonder what their scam is? Harassment is a criminal offense. If it keeps up we'll see about pressing charges.
