They are in violation of multiple aspects of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act with the statements they made to you and it is doubtful they have any ability to sue you in court. If, or more likely, when they call back keep demanding written proof of the debt and proof they have a legal right to collect that debt in your state sent via US Mail as required by the above law. Do not acknowledge that you owe the debt over the phone. You can also remind them that federal law requires they send you the required proof within 5 days of initial contact. Keep logs of dates and times of calls and the content of the call, it could come in handy later if you decide to pursue action against them for FDCPA violations.
JUST IGNORE THESE IDIOTS and FAKE THREATS!! THET ARE VIOLATING FDCPA AND ALL LAWS POSSIBLE ABD THEY WILL BE CAUGHT AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT. IN THE USA AMERICANS CAN NOT BE JAILED OR THREATENED FOR DEBT. This is why we have US BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION LAWS IN PLACE AND ANYONE HARRASING YOU WITH [***] LEGAL JARGON NOT IN WRITING IS JUST A LOW LIFE TRYING TO USE SCARE TACTICS TO PREY ON LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE. Just ignore these fools and keep REPORTING THEM TO THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL AUTHORITIES SUCH AS DISTRICT AND STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS AND FBI. They will be stopped!! Trust
I have gotten a call from 347-578-9284 for the past several days telling me that I have a class action suit filed against me and that if I call that number I can setle everthing out of court but if i do not call I will forfiet my rights and be charged with a felony. I have not returned any calls now I am being told that my rights have been forfieted and will be charged they need me to call with my correct mailing address can work address so they may serve me in person with civil paper work. I have filed a police report regarding this matter and will no let them handle this matter it is obtaining property by false pretense.
I have received numerous calls from 347-578-9284 leaving me messages that I have 2 fraud charges against my name and social security number. Said she was from the summons department and left a name of Janet Daniels. I called the number she gave me, 347-578-9284 to ask what they are calling about. They did have old information from my bank account in 2003, which was closed at that time. She said I took out a loan in 2009 and never repaid. I was living out of state in 2009. Plus I have not taken out a loan in California. She asked me to fax all of my information to 888-221-6622; when I asked who was calling, she said Goldman & Assoc. from New York. Unfortunately, I gave them my birth date because I was so sure they had the wrong person. I called to report to the police. They said it is a scam. Hang up and do NOT give them information!!!!! I then filed a police report!
Thanks Guys! I just received the same exact message. I was thinking that someone got a hold of my info or something. I know that I have never borrowed money from any company like you guys mentioned. If that's what they are saying I know its a lie! I pray this does not get out of hand :(
Apparently these people are busy right now. The sad thing is that the message is all completely prerecorded. They left the message for my husband. The following is the EXACT message left on my voicemail (never thought I'd use transcription skills for this! lol). Anything in parentheses was a computer generated voice. Everything else was prerecorded in a female voice. Hope this helps!

I am contacting you from the Process & Summons Division. I’m calling to notify you that there will be 2 charges filed against you in your county. Looks like fraudulent activity has been attached to your name & your Social Security Number.
(HUSBAND’S NAME)
I do need to make you aware of your legal rights to address your charges prior to them being filed against you. You will need to do so before you receive your summons @ your place of employment or @ your home address. Once you’re served your rights will be forfeited.
Your case# is (C151532).
Their telephone # is (347-578-9284).
You will need to speak to someone in their legal department.
