call was recorded stating my ss# and other personal information was on the internet and I should call a number to discuss this immediately.  Of course the # was given too fast to write down and it was different from the calling #.

Called my mother asking for me after stating her name. Stated they had summons for me in court and there were allegations made against me and they wanted to "hear my side of the story".. seems fishy anyone know this number or name of company?

Got a call from the number last 4 social first last name and said they were gonna come to my job. Never showed up and started calling relatives hmm really fishy again different number they called from

This is a common ploy by criminals masquerading as debt collectors who are attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this,  all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your work place, friends, or relatives repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
