this number has been on 'auto reject'; typically leaves no msg; msg today was a guy, could not understand his name; talked with  marbles in his mouth; partially heard 'law office' and 7 of the 9 digit phone number to call back.  i'm not callin back!

This number keeps calling me. I usually ignore unfamiliar numbers but since they keep calling me, I've answered twice now. They instantly hung up both times. I tried to call back the second time and immediately got hold music. I smell a scam so I hung up and am blocking this number.

Called and said they were a law office and represented my states Dept of Revenue and asked me to verify the last 4 number of my social security number. When i refused they hung up.

Yes, said from Harris and Harris Law.  Even the phone number called out Harris Law

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt, and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid. 

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked 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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Said I had a tax debt with KS Dept. of Revenue, I interrupted explaining that was strange because I actually work for the KS D.O.R
they immediately hung up.
They have called before from this number but using a different name. People Always contact your state Department of Revenue to confirm such accusations if you are concerned about a call like this. NEVER GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OR MONEY!
