I've received 76 calls from this number since December 2011. 678-385-5378.
Another number they call from is 888 281 6788. I've found dozens of messages on my voice mail where the call original caller at 888 281 6788, asks to be called back at 678 385 5378.
One day I answered the phone before I saw the number and a man said he was with the F.B.I. and told me to "pay up" or I was going to prison! The very next day, a woman called. I answered and she said she worked for the F.B.I. and she got really nasty when I told her she had the wrong number.

Most likely a debt collection scam. Ignore and block the number. No self-respecting lawyer will ever cold call the other party concerning a pending case. For an initial contact lawyers rely on written documents. If there was a pending case against you you'd have received a letter in the US mail. Ignore and block these calls. This area code 678 is in common use by debt scammers.
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, 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.
