Asked for my social and when I asked who they we're they gave me a name and said they couldn't tell me who they work for,  scam suspicion

Very nasty, insistent man called my house asking for my name, address and last 4 numbers of my social security number. Told me he had all that information but needed it verified. Refused to tell who he worked for and why he was calling. My response was to not give him that information and told him to not call again. Cease and desist in reaching out to me. This is a scam!

Caller states his name is John Keys. He asked me to verify my social security number and date of birth.

Same experience as the others. Some John keys guy, really rude and obnoxious left messages saying he was trying to locate me and wouldn’t elaborate.

Left a message to call him back stating this is an important business matter.  But, did not specify the company they were calling from.

Someone named Rick Neggle left a voicemail from this number saying that he had "important business" to talk about. Didn't ask for a specific name, didn't say what his "business" was. I called back from a different number and it appeared to be a fake debt collection scam.

Left a voice message to call her back stating this is an important business matter and trying to locate me.  But, did not specify the company they were calling from.

Very rude woman.  Identified herself as Amy Anderson but would not provide any further information.  Was insistent on me confirming personal information without identifying what the call was in reference to and how she received my information.  When I refused to confirm or provide updated information she very nastily threatened me that she would continue to harass me, my family and my relatives.

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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
