CBV Collections. Endless calls numerous times a day with only dead air. Super annoying. If you call the same number back, you can stay on the line to talk to someone to be removed. Takes 24 hours apparently but we will see. Information they are using is years old as the person they are looking for hasn't had this number in several years. Apparently they don't require any kind of verification of the number beforehand, and harass people who were unlucky enough to get the phone number of some loser who obviously changed his number years ago after he racked up all the debt (as if he'd really keep the same number and just keep fielding their calls??) Ug.
This is a FAKE (phony) number for a DEBT collection company. This number will show up on your phone but then the message will tell you to call 866 387 8751. Plus they are lying about it being GOOD news. They say this so you will call them back. They also act all cheery & happy like you won something. This is actually against the law. They are suppose to state who they are, who they are calling on behalf of, a reference number also the amount of the debt. Even though it is against the law there is very little that can be done except to block them. B.C's Consumer Protection office is a joke. Our government is to busy taking from the poor & giving to the rich to care about the abuses of debt companies. So cell phone users BEWARE of phony debt collection numbers & lying debt collectors.....To find out the laws concerning DEBT companies look up DEBT Canada website. All the information you need to know is there. I hope this helps....

I'm still not 100% sure if this is a fake company or not -- but they called me, said I owed $1500 to Telus, and refused to tell me anything else...I do not have a Telus account...
