Debt collection scam run by Commercial Credit Adjusters based in Winnipeg that have telemarketing/scam centres in various provinces. They are trying to collect ficticous debts or the debts of a third party. They leave vague messages to get you to call back and they call from a variety of different phone numbers -- possibly caller ID spoofing.
According to the CRTC: Telemarketers who make calls to Canadians are required to accurately identify themselves and their client. Telemarketers who use technology to spoof their Caller ID information with inaccurate, false or misleading information violate this requirement. Each violation of the Unsolicited Telemarketing Rules can lead to fines up to $1,500 per violation for an individual and $15,000 per violation for a corporation.

Note: If you suspect fraud, you can report it to your local police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501), a national service jointly operated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police and the Competition Bureau.
