The caller ID says Charlotte, NC. The number in the ID is fictitious. If you press "1" you get an operator in Orchard Park, NY.
I pressed "1". (I am the switchboard operator at a medium sized business.)
I asked the person who answered the phone what the call was about. He stated the name of the perennial payday loan collection scam target here. (These criminals NEVER give up!) I then asked for the name of the company and the mailing address. After much hesitation he gave it. I then informed him that the company was not to call this business again. Eventually he hung up on me.

Other similar robocalls have originated from Orchard Park, NY. They are vaguely threatening: "If you do not respond we'll be forced to take action against you...Case# xxx has been referred to local authorities...we will be forced to make a decision..." blah blah.
The last call from the very same town claimed to be an attorney. All very fishy and similar to payday loan scams.
Beware. Check these FBI press releases before you give these guys the time of day.
Demand that ALL communication be in writing through the US postal service. Do not verify any information. If they claim they need your address in order to send you written info, you know it's a scam. They cannot make you pay them over the phone. Tell them they must operate according to law. Don't be intimidated.
