Got a call today giving me another number to call because there was a formal complaint filed against me (supposedly by someone in Denver)! NOT calling the number provided! I'm sure it's a SCAM!

Basiclly they are trying to scare money out of you by saying a "complaint was filed" against you. Trying to make you think that some sort of civil law case was filed against you. Which is total scam. If you were the subject of a law suit you'd have heard about it from the attorney for the other side. You would have received a letter. You'd have a paper trail. You can check this out by
simply going down to your local main civil court and checking the defendants civil list. The clerks are
usually glad to help and are familiar with these scams. Ignore and block these numbers.
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.
The Mr Number site has them IDing themselves as "Action Location Service". No such group that I can find. THere is an Action Location Services , but that was located in FLorida and the group is inactive according to the Florida Secretary of State. No idea where these people are located, really.
