Complete scam.  No one gets a heads up they'll be served - the process server just shows up, unannounced.  If you had an unpaid loan, you would also have gotten dunning letters via USPS mail.  Any caller who asks or pressures you to pay immediately - and especially with prepaid debit cards - should be considered a scammer.  BTW, garnishment cannot take place unless you've been served, gone to court, LOST your case and then a judgment entered against you.

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..

Don't give them anything.  This is  a scam.  Nobody is going to serve you documents.   Only judges can issue garnishments and that only after a hearing where you would be given a chance to be heard.  

Report this to local police and attorney general.
