The number keeps changing but this attorney office doesn't exist it is scam saying false case numbers that don't exists.

Got a call from this number, dialed it back, states Christine Prescott's office-I think she was a bill collector, but I do not have any outstanding debts

I keep getting calls from this #. I need to know who this person really is. Says her name is Christine Prescott.

I got a call from her today too. She talked fast, said my name and rattled off a case number and 'final legal notification" and "call immediately", and sounded threatening. I am pretty sure that she must be a bill collector but if i owe anything it is from over 15 years ago! Don't call her back if she calls you! Debt collectors who do this are illegally trying to scare you into giving them money. It is not legal to leave a message like that on your phone as a "final legal notice". They don't even know that you actually heard the message or if the number was yours. if it was for real you would have gotten legal papers in the mail....not by phone. Block her number if you can or don't answer. She isn't nice. I change the name on my caller ID to "Scam" so that i remember that I checked on here. Don't stress over this call!

I just got a call from Kristen Prescott.  She wanted a family members name and said it was about a civil lawsuit against them.  I believe she is really a debt collector.

Legitimate debt collectors do not discuss alleged debts and/or legal matters with third parties. They are allowed to ascertain information pertaining to the debtor's location. Anything more than this is a violation of the FDCPA.

It is a scam.

Their new phone number is 855 233 5056

They are fake and they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Also, they seem to be located in New York:

P.O. Box 360
Lockport, New York 14095

Thanks for your comments everyone. I received the threatening message and initially assume dit was a scam....then I was worried that there was something outstanding that I forgot about but, after reading these reviews I see my first mind was correct.

This is a common ploy by criminals 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.  They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.  Now why would a “process server” want to do you, a stranger, a favor, and at the same time not get paid to deliver the papers?

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.
