Looks like yet another number for this outfit- Miller, Davis, and Peoples.  They were trying to reach a previous user of my number.  I've had this number for 6 years (but I used to get calls for them when I first got this number).  Couldn't understand what the woman said her name was but she was from this firm and very serious in her voicemail message.  "YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED", she says.  

I got the same call  on today, she told me about some magazines that I had a contract with which I never had.

Report them here:

Got a call tonight from these [***]. Saying I better get counsel and that there "Client" would take all legal action necessary. For something from over 7 years ago. For one i never had and 2 That they don't even have any of my information correct or right. They are worthless losers. Act as if they are someone. Act like they are lawyers. They need to be shutdown.  How can I report these jerks. And get them off my back. I have no clue who they are and I never subscribed to any magazines. So I am completely surprised at there lack of supposed knowledge

I got a call from these people wanting my cc information they made the same statements to me I also got a call from a restricted. Number the guy said he was bringing papers I have yet to see them ... or a number to call him back .. they threatened to have my license suspended please help is this fraud

Same here - similar experience "there are active charges and allegations filed against you. You have I contact until you personally prior to my arrival at your home or workplace. Please have 2 forms of government issued id" - they have said nothing but double talk here. It's a scam.

Yes,, same non sense here. I wish i could figure out were these f-ing people are, because i'm ready and willing to confront these mother fer's  .. I wonder if there still such hard [***] when i follow em home and discuss this matter in there drive way. Better yet in the trunk of my car..

I told this lady 'Serve me'.

Informational post:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Also good info at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau:

Wanted to add that although this information is talking about loans, it also applies to any alleged debt.

The same here,  "allegations". Two forms of,"Id". Etc. The caller was curt, rude and authoritative. Pay close attention to what she says and how she says it. 'Scam' written all over this.

They called and said they're from the "office of legal investigation." This was obviously a scam of some sort.

Best advice is to never pickup numbers you don't recognize, then immediately Google it. Put the number in quotes like this "855-420-8317" and you'll get search results with that exact number combination.

Good luck.
