Sounds to me you are a victim of identity theft.  I would do a credit check on yourself.  Try Transunion.  If it shows, you can dispute that.  Also, if nothing shows, you know they are a scam.
There are a lot of collection agencies that are scammers!

what is the f****ng point of calling your company if im going to speak to 20 different answering machines. this is b***s***. how the f*** do you want me to pay anything to you if your going to send me to another machine as soon as i get on the line with an actual person. complete b***s***.

Awesome info.  They have been calling LOTS. And. I have not received any notification from my services (bills/debit) received stating collection.  Maybe these people are going thru old trash for information?

i just called them back and they said they dialed my number by mistake... maybe leave a message saying "sorry we called you by mistake, please don't worry about calling up long distance."
Jerks

Called my alternate phone number that no one but my place of work knows/calls. I don't owe anyone money except the government and banks for my student loans/line of credit. I'm in the process of paying it back.

stop calling us for drivers.....

Your a piece of s***.. I hope you die!!

You dialed me up, I called back and talked to Tamara.. polite girl, but surprise!!! When I gave her my  number it didn't come up in the system, nor did my name.. quit harassing us! DUMB MF'ers

The corporations and Credit bureaus use these people ,and  I am being generous, they should also be taken to court for the type of methods they condone. .Just another example of consumer laws which go nowhere to protect the consumer..The debt is not mine !!!!!!!!!

This number is calling my 12 year old Daughters phone. What the hell would a so called debt collector or what ever they are need to call her? It's a scam! Why do we put up with this crap! Send These people to jail!! I have told my kids never to pick up a number they don't know, sad really can't even own a phone with out harassment. Number has never been listed only been activated for a few months. Thanks cell phone companies for selling our numbers to criminals. Heads up people dont fall for anything these people say to you! Scam!!

your # is released to any collection agency from equifax or transunion! And the client of the accounts that people work give updated info that you give.. for ex. if its a parking ticket, icbc and insurance agency will give your info to them! They also do common searchs on google and 411..

My number is also blocked. How did Aro get it?

Is this that Same credit that fraudulent corrupt central banks charge interest on money that doesn't exist ? How about you dirt balls learn about fractional reserve currency, how the money supply is expanded on? Which most of you collectivist f**gots at ARO have no clue about, way aboue your 10 dollar an hour job. The post by what looks like an ARO employee openly describes harassing Canadians, you call people even though you don't have correct info? How do you people even have a job? How can you continually make mistakes that are illegal ? Enjoy the rest of your time trying to get money back for the same people poisoning your food, you water, your children, s*** now you people at ARO can pay the same bankers a carbon tax on living. Great job people at ARO its robots like you who are destroying the world.

Just received a call from them on my husbands cell phone--they had a reference number and everythign  are they legit or not

Hey a***ole from ARO how about you have your dumb a** employess confirm and get their facts right before making a call to people.

i want make a payment online i cant reach there how i open that page and how to make a payment online

I didn't answer but I think it's probably for a parking ticket I have.

What kind of business representative would ever respond to complaints against the company they represent using the texting language of a 14 year old girl?  I don't buy it!!

Call me saying you have an order for me to pick up in my town?  Don't BS me, Never hea\rd of you before, and don't deal with liars.

I was reading everyones coments about ARO INC in Kelowna, I used to work for the comany, If you have any questions or concerns reply to me

It's fine to phone and leave a message to call but need to know who they are contracted to to collect a possiible debt.

Who are they collecting for?

lol I like that one. We should all get together, go down to Kelowna on a monday morning when everybody is in the office, burn the building down and have a barbeque.

I just got a call from them 877-762-7070 and they ask for me by name. BUT they had my middle name wrong. When I told them this she said they had the wrong person. All they do is call ever one with your name thinking they will get there man or woman. Best way to stop the calls is to talk to them and if you are the wrong person they have to stop calling you.
Never give any one money if you do not see all info in writing. NO emails
All info in a letter.
You do not have to give out your name it is them calling you if they have info wrong tell them thats it. If they have your name wrong they can't by law talk to you any more or give you any more info on the file.

I would encourage all people to not pay debts to collection agencies.  The less money collection agencies collect, the quicker they go out of business.  In the unlikely event the collection agency does go to the courthouse to file a summons, they have to come-up with quite a lot of their own money, up to and including coming-up with the money to get the debtor to and from court by either bus, train, plane, automobile.  And where necessary, have to come-up with accommodation costs and meal allowances.  Yes, all these costs are charged back to the debtor, if the debtor loses the case.  However if the debtor isn't suable, then the judge will dismiss the case.  The judge will decide if the debtor is suable or not.  NOT the collection agency.  Also, one will notice that the bill collector NEVER threatens to sue.  They say they "MAY SUE" and they use "WE" a lot.  And that is because if they threaten to sue, then they can no longer have any further contact with the debtor, they either have to sue or f**k-off.  They also can no longer refer the debt to another collection agency, because doing anything other than suing the debtor places the collection agency in CONTEMPT OF COURT.  Judges frown down on those who are in contempt of court, and Judges get really upset with those who place others in contempt of court.  So that is why collection agencies very rarely play their Ace Card, because once they do they have to sue.  
I would encourage all people who are being chased by a collection agency to tell the collection agency to "Sue me or f**k-off", and then put down the phone.  Do not offer them any information at all on yourself, even if you are unemployed, do not tell them anything.  Keep everything about yourself private, so you can use it to your advantage and as your defence should the matter ever go to court, which it usually won't because collection agencies are not in the legal business, they are in the debt recovery business, and they just want the debtor to pay.
It is also illegal for a bill collector to telephone a debtor once the debtor has ordered the debt collector not to contact them by telephone.  This is called "Personal Harassment", and judges also frown-down on harassers, and usually fine them very heavily, and/or lock them up, and award the victim handsomely.
The best advice I would offer a debtor is to pay the money owed to the original creditor.  They won't refuse the payment, they can't, it is illegal for them to do so.  And if the original creditor refuses the payment, the debt will be written-off by the courts.  This also messes-up the collection agency, because they want the debtor to pay them.  Debt Collectors are usually bullies, and their bark is worse than their bite.  Do not fear Debt Collectors, they are only doing their job, and they are working on commission.

I notice that your "last" sentence reads... "If ur just dodging have fun we may see you in court :)"  "We may" implies that you have no intentions of taking the matter to court.  It is a scare tactic which all collection agencies use in order to get a debtor to pay-up.
