Scam company
AffGlo is a company that will try to collect in every possible, legal and illegal ways.
I'm saying that because recently they sent me a legal letter saying I owe money to a cable company which I have never opened an account with before. I knew this was wrong, so I called them, and all they did was to threaten me to make a payment, ignored my questions such as "how did you get my home address which was changed only a month ago", or "I never had an account with this company". As soon as I told them I will file a police report and sue them, the agent hung up on me.
Great. I guess I really need to file a police report.
By the way, if you wonder how they found me. Well they didn't find me, they were given an account name that is similar to my name, and assumed that is me. Then they kept calling me for a month, EVERYDAY. I blocked the phone call because, a. they never left a message; b. I have call blocker app that would auto block any...

It is pretty scary, knowing that some companies can have access to your personal phone number, home address and other information, and get updates on those information even before you updates your health card, etc.
The cable company is Cogeco, and they were nice to help me clarify the situation and liaison with AffGlo to get it sorted out.
As someone who works in a corporate environment, I know why AffGlo is so terrible.
Agents are under pressure to collect as much as they can, and if they can't id the person, they will find whoever that is the closest, and depending on the character, they will harrass, threaten, and do everything they can to get the money out of that person's pocket.

I have recently received a letter from AFFLO that I owe over $475 from my Rogers Account. Called Rogers to confirm and they said I don't have any debt with them. Reported Afflo to them that they are scammer.
I don't know how they got the last 4-digit of my creditcard# as the avcount number on top...DONT EVEN BOTHER CALLING THEM, JUST REPORT THEM TO THE POLICE
