GOT A CALL FROM 423-742-7554 two days in a row. This is a SCAM. They continue to call me on my work number. I asked them to stop, but to no avail. My employer asked me to record the phones and conversations so that they can report it to the local law enforcement. The guy who called me didn't believe me. I bet he will believe me now.

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..
I got a call from this number. I told them I'm standing outside of my house waiting for the police. I also contacted the FBI telling them about this. And they said its a number of college students from India looking to score money
