got a call and msg
msg:same thing my name is ha...(unclear)... calling from CBB Vancouver as (I heared, not clear tho) " call me about your file sitting on my desk...reference#...)
he left a phone# 778-330-2283 ( 7783302283 ),
I believe Phil is tight, it should be Collection Agency.
This is not actually CBV Collections. A person named tiffany called me on my parents number (where I haven't lived for over 15 years) and asked for me (first name only). My parents are very wary about scams so they asked for her number and she gave 1-866-344-6907 ext: 12004 and said she was from CBV who bought out the Credit Bureau of Vancouver. The call display said 778-330-2283. I looked up CBV and called the number on their website (which is different than the one above) and they had no record of my parents number, and also said if they had called, it would have shown up as a 604 area code, not 778.
Received many, many calls at unacceptable morning hours - no messages left. Today, Ollie left a rather unpleasant message at 0719. Asked for someone unknown to this household. Said the file has been on his desk for over a month now and needs to be resolved or he will take action. Left a file number and a callback number 1-866-344-6907 x 12007. How can I block this number from coming in?
Calls repeatedly, most of the time they hang up when we pick up. They call from different numbers claiming to be from CBV, but they're also doing illegal things such as calling over their allotted times per week (all collection agencies are only allowed 3-4 calls per week to a number), leaving msgs without voice or with music playing. I think this counts as harassment.
We've told them who they're looking for doesn't live here, if this continues I think we'll be filing a complaint.
PS. I thought it was the CBB too, the woman's english isn't too great.
Someone from this number has called us at least four times and left a message containing only music. Odd sounding, like something I imagine you might hear on a sex line. Twice the message was ended with a simple "Hello?" before the person hung up. Once a male voice and once a female voice. It's extremely suspicious. Just awhile ago I heard the call come in and pick up the receiver. It took awhile for the music to end and for a real person to respond. I told her to stop calling. She asked me for my phone number. I said again "stop calling". She then asked if this was the wrong number. I said "It sure must be" then I hung up. They sure don't sound like a collections agent to me.
