Follow the steps in what you need to know. A legitimate debt collector agency should not have a problem with giving you a real business name and address you can google and verify via google street view, BBB etc.
For extortion Scam Operations, file reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,FTC & FCC..

I received a call from 855-735-4664 saying something about a Title bond 18. I have no idea what that is when I look it up it comes up with something from Juveinle Court. Does anyone kbnow what this is could be? They said stuff like freezing my bank accts  no one can do that but the Gov and I don't owe the Gov!

Piece of crap debt collector using illegal scare tactics to try and scare you into paying a debt that they cannot prove that you owe or may not even owe. Don?t verify any information or promise to make any payments. Good chance statute of limitation has already passed. Pay them no attention. They are not located in Greenville they are using a caller ID spoof to try and appear local. will also try to call you from a caller id spoof number to try and appear local

I got a call from 210-625-8597 looking for someone else, in the voice mail they left 855-735-4664 as the return call number not sure if this is important or not but they left the message in Spanish, I had to ask my neighbor what the guy was saying.

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.

Called my work, left message saying "this is Urgent matter pending in Citrus County! You must call back immediately to 855-735-4664." When I called back refused to give name or company, threaten law suite if I didn't give all my personal identifiable information, of course I hung up.

Can these people be reported anywhere, they should not be allowed to haress or even call employer??

NASTY A** PEOPLE. CALLING ME AT WORK, THREATENING TO SKIP TRACE MY # TO MY HR. THREATENING TO FILE LAWSUIT. ALL THESE THINGS ARE AGAINST THE LAW

Funny thing about that, they do not identify themselves, talk over you, tell you you're "impeding an investigation" (oooo I'm SCARED!!!!) ...and want to speak to someone who hasn't worked for the company in well over a year.  Yeah, if you were legitimate, you'd have a correct number.  Bottom-feeder scummy 3rd party debt collector using the usual scare tactics.  Don't bother answering.

What company is she with?
