855-227-8663

Rachel Williams called me from a private number but gave me this number to call.  She said that she is a private courier with my county and needs me to sign important documents.  I must have 2 forms of ID with a witness at my job from 12pm-5pm.  I called this number back and they hung up on me.  I have no idea who this is or what this is in regards to.

Just got that same message about 1 hour ago. So will Rachel be at both of our employments at the same time.  Im in SC.

Haha, well I am in Wisconsin, so let's see if she can pull off this magic trick..

Just got call from Rachel Williams who said she is showing up at my job between 12pm and 5pm today and I must sign papers unless I call 855-227-8663 and I don't know what this is about but very scared.

Don't be. This is a scam extorting money for nonexistent debts. Read on:

Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.
The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.
The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.
The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.
Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name
Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.
Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.
Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I also got this call saying she will be at my work today from 12-5 and I live in Indiana.  So tired of these calls.  

I received the same call and I think it's a SCAM

The woman that is calling is Cristine Thomas with the same issues shared above.  It is terrible that laws cannot protect individuals from these kind of thief.  I have called the attorney general, and they have said:  do not answer, the more you do the more fuel they have to continue harassment.  these people are bullies, and know how to intimidate...

I also got a call from Christine Thomas.  all same as above.  Will be served between 12-5.
