Got several calls from this number. They called me, my wife, my mother and place of Employment all within 15 minutes. They left messages on all phones stating there is a formal complaint that requires immediate attention. They have documents scheduled to be delivered at place of employment to have valid identification for proper delivery and if I or my attorney have any questions we need to contact their client (at another number given) and use this ref #----. Called the number and used reference number given. They were wanting money for unpaid debt and wanted me to pay it over the phone, but because I argued with the first women that couldn't answer any of my questions and asked to speak to her supervisor they knocked off a thousand dollars off the amount due and wanted me to pay if right over the phone and If I don't take care of this could be arrested and sent to jail. Has to be a SCAM!
This happened to me about 1 year ago. Nothing ever transpired. Now I am getting calls again. I just do not answer anymore because I will threaten someone.

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them. Tell 'em no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking). the only thing they understand.
I received a call from this number about an hour ago. They left a voice mail message saying they were calling for a Karen Nash. I've received other calls from other numbers looking for someone with the last name Nash, as well. I don't know anyone by that name.
2 calls to me in a week and one to my brother in Virginia looking for me. Wants to serve me with papers for a court date? Would be served at home or at work. Gave me an 888 number to call which I declined. Some guy with an Indian accent.
