I have been receiving email messages along with telephone calls from the say number and individuals (James McDougal and Steven Peters.) Today one of them had to nerve to contact my employer. I have contacted the scammers back to inform them I will be filing a complaint with my local law enforcement. I also brought my employer up to speed about the scam. She requested that the caller send her something in writing via email as of this evening nothing has been received. This is outrageous and unacceptable. People really need to get jobs and stop trying to scam people out of the hard earned money.
Total scam. No debt collector can suspend anyone's license to do anything. Ignore and block the call.
Report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
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.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking), the only thing they understand.

Same number called but said his name was Ryan, yelled at me the whole conversation told me me that I was going to jail for not going to court, said I did not show up in court (never received anything from court) and he refused to show me any documentation on a loan i paid off many years ago and when telling him this he told me I was an idiot and to shut up and listen to him, needless to say I told him where he could take a trip to, i t is very warm there.
