They have called my phone repeatedly leaving a voicemail for someone I don't know. They are a collection agency.

Won't leave a message and when you return the call, it says number isn't in service.

My mom kept getting calls for me saying the I needed to get a hold of the office of allen james and to call a mrs. jones back. ive never even given out my mothers number to anyone. she actually started to get really worried so I decided to google the number and this is what I found out. total scam. DO NOT call them back. DO NOT even answer the calls. DO NOT send them money.

They called me also found out it was a over due td bank account.

I owe money to a creditor

This number is also used by something called Thomas King and Associates.   Long history of debt scamming.

For example:  

This group (or should I say gang)  engages in a constant pattern of scummy and scammy debt collection tactics, so typical of the “Buffalo Bullies”.
1.     Usually they cold-call you and tell you they are doing an “assets and Liability search”.   Then, if you are uncooperative they say
2.    they’ll put you down as such.   They sometimes call and say
3.    they have a “claim” against you.    
4.    They call and say this is your “last chance” to talk to them before they make some kind of decision.  
5.    Sometimes they want you to call their  “pre-legal’ department.  And of course they call and say
6.    there is a “complaint” against you or your SSN#.  Now how the devil can one get a complaint against one’s SSN#?    Right outta Amherst NY.

They call from a lot of different numbers.

They also associate with something called

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.

Left a voice mail on my phone stating someone filed a complaint against me, it is my best interest to recall the call.

Read the other notes.  Total scam.  Ignore and block the calls.

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated
If they are bothering you, report them:

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

They called me on my cell phone yesterday about my sister. Said someone had filed a complaint against her and she (my sister) had listed me as a reference.  I was busy so they called back and left their number. Thanks to all those before so I could look up and see this is a scam.

Justin King from Thomas King assoc. just called me looking for my daughter. He said she owed $325.00 to TD Bank. She never had TDBank. When I called her she knew it had to be a scam.

Richard Goldberg from Thomas King and Associates supposedly claiming some lawsuit against me. Had also called my sister's phone to get to me. No specifics given. No website is available for this "company". So yes, scam. Not even bothering to respond. Set the number on my reject list.

Got several messages on my cell phone asking to call this number back.  Claimed to be doing an assets and liabilities search and instructed me to call the pre-legal department.  I never answered and after a couple of months, they gave up and haven't called again.

No answered the phone when they called

they wanted to get in touch with a supposed relative of mine, whose name i did not recognize, or they will have to recomend taking legal action.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
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).
