Got a call from a Terrence Johnson claiming they were going to file a fraud suit against me for a 2010 transaction.  The company name he gave was "SSM GROUP" - I never heard of these people.  I kept asking him to mail me proof that this transaction actually took place and he said that he couldn't because everything is "paperless"!  He had my email address so I asked him to send them that way, and he said all he could send was a statement from his firm "BECKLY MCCORMICK AND SCHMITT" stating the original company and amount owed.
When I got that "statement", it had no address; the phone numbers 213-493-9800 and 866-596-1702 (the number he was calling from and the return number he gave me); an email address of [email protected]  (notice the spelling of beckly - they can't even match their "statement" which has BECKLY MCCORMICK & SCHMITT!!
I tried searching for this company and can only find a seafood market that is even close!  SSM Group shows to be a no longer in existence pay day loan company that has many charges against it for illegal practices.  The phone numbers cannot be confirmed.  SCAM?????

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).

1-866-596-1702 ext 6301
I had nearly the exact same experience. My mother called me informing me that a Terrance Johnson from Beckley McCormick and Schmitt Law Offices had left a voicemail on her cell phone stating that he needed to speak with me about my case. When I called him back at 1-866-596-1702 ext 6301 I got no answer but left a message that was quickly returned from a Washington DC phone number. When I spoke with him he informed me that I owed a debt to Ace cash advance from 2011. He said that the company was taking me to court for fraud and criminal charges would be pressed but that it could be settled outside of court if I made a payment of $449 that day or the next.When I asked when the loan was taken out he could not give me particulars. When I asked him to mail me a letter with the particulars he said that their firm had "gone green" and everything was paperless. He also told me that he could send me an email but all it included was the amount they were asking $1149 and what they would settle for $449; no particulars about where the loan was taken out at, the amount of the original loan, the date the loan was taken out, nothing. Unless he can mail me documentation containing this information I would find it hard to believe that he is legitimate.
