These people actually called my phone claiming that I wrote a bad check back in 2008 on a closed account. I never had checks for any of my accounts. They called my sister harassing her and telling her to write a statement against me because i used her as a reference without her knowledge. He was very rude and told her  she is "one of those difficult kind of people". Who are these people and what do they want harassing people after they called me and I told them I have no knowledge of what they are referring to and to send me the information, yet they couldn't do that.

claims to be some sort of mediation for something; its a debt collector. Thank god for blacklists, this one is particularly bothersome. they are incessant.

This number is calling me and saing somthing abaute abuse. Well i bearly get my number and they call me what shud i do

these people called me, I didn't recognize the number so I did not answer. they left a message saying that they had a settlement offer from some kind of lawsuit......."trying to make me think that I was going to get some money"  
WRONGGGGGG!!!! it a trick....its a debt collector

So are they a legitimate company or scamming people?

Whatever you want the to be. Scammers are depending on your confusion!

They called me yesterday stating I had written bad checks, tried to get my SS#, tried to get my birthday.  The info they had was wrong, close but wrong.  They called my daughter with threats, they then called my son in law and said he owed back taxes he was going to jail etc.

These people called my Mom saying they had filed a civil lawsuit against my sister and she had 72 hours to respond.I guess they knew better than to contact my sister directly because she was under bankruptcy protection

They have called me numerous times and left messages with a "case number" which according to the court doesn't exist and are threatening me with fraud. They have called my mother and told her I am going to jail for fraud and they want to know what my intent with this is. I looked up the company with the BBB and they have had numerous complaints filed against them. They have an F rating. Also, it is illegal for a bill collector to threaten you with jail time and criminal charges for debt.

They called me today from that same number idiots debt collectors get a real job

I got a call from this # today. He called himself MR. FURMAN from the Department of Fraud, National Mediation Services. Yes, under my maiden.name. I called. Such a scam...really?!

this lady shannon brooks called this morning and i didn't answer. she left me a voicemail saying that she's from the fraud department of national mediation?? saying that i have a case # and that another company or whoever filed against me and that i have 72 hours to get back to her required from state law. i was freaking out because i had no idea what she was talking about and it made me feel a little bit better to read these comments from you guys. so you all think this thing is just a big scam?? i sure hope so because i cannot afford to get myself into anymore trouble. IM FREAKING OUT GUYS PLEASE HELP

Yes it is a big scam.   If someone is going to file a civil case against you, normally there would have been a period of negotiation between your attorney and the attorney for the other side. You'd be aware of the civil controversy.   You would not receive a cold call telling you a case has already been filed.

No case has been filed against you.  You can go down to the local courthouse civil division and check it out.  These people t throw around a lot of phony legal terms trying to scare you.  Don't let them do it.  If they have a valid debt, tell them to send you a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.   They won't do it.  

They throw around the word "fraud" to make you think there's some kind of criminal matter going on.  Only public prosecutors handle fraud cases.  Debt collectors have nothing to do with courts, police or anything concerning law enforcement.  Debt collectors have no power of arrest.
