They called me demanding a large cash payment, who are these people

They did the same exact crap to me regarding my niece... Its an attempt to collect a bad debt/past due bill..... Their idiots & prey on anyone who will give them information to try to collect a bad debt against someone....

These idiots called my place of work and also my cell, claiming that there was a charge against me. that i needed to call this number# 855-462-6814.. with my name and case number. they also that i was officially notified.

This is the same as the ones above. It is an aggressive bill collector who is collecting a debt for a bill I have already paid but they do not stop.

Yep. More scammer BS.  If you really were going to be served a court summons, the caller would HAVE your address.  Process servers also do not call you and ask you to contact the person you allegedly owe money to - process servers just SERVE court summons, etc.  You also can't "officially be notified" of anything via email, fax or phone/voice mail.   Please do report your callers to the FTC, FCC, FBI and your state's Attorney General.  More info here:

A lady who gave her name as being Ashley Pope called my home phone number, claiming to need an address of residence and employment for my step-daughter.  The message was received on JAN-24-2014 at 2:16 PM (CST) and was received from telephone number 608-448-3286.  The actual recorded message (minus my step-daughters name) went like this:
