Outfits like this one are getting more hypocritical. They use the name of a person that you know so that you will not look too closely at the number they are calling from.

This is a SCAM sponsored by CBVCollection company's Vancouver staff in their 'spare time'. This company, though registered as a legitimate collections agency is nothing more than a criminal gang front organisation. The corporate officers have a colourful and lengthy list of convictions for fraud and other monetary crimes. When the staff can no longer contact a live person via their illegal techniques, they turn to this SCAM to inflict arbitrary and punitive measures against whoever innocently owns the number they call. If you respond to this call with anything other than hanging up immediately, you will be charged a premium phone service fee. If you'd like to get back at the staff in some way just respond to this 'contact' page they list and use as much vile language and insulting words as you like. Be careful not to fill in any real information, just make up your own ficticious email domain, et al. Have some fun with this since it MUST be read by their staff AND becomes part of their corporate communications record. Enjoy yourself.
