Dallas Tx here. My wife has been receiving calls and given a similar story as others have posted…”have a courier to meet you”…”case number”…etc. They claim this is for a payday loan from a few years ago, and that there is a pending civil suit against her. They refused to release and documentation proving their claim unless we were willing to provide a credit card number.
What to Do If You Get a Suspected Scam Call:
Ask the collector for the name and address of the collection agency for which he or she works. Then ask him to send you written information about the debt. Any legitimate debt collection agency will do this because it’s required under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If the caller won’t give you this information, hang up. If a phone number is available through caller ID, report the call to your state attorney general and the FTC.
Don’t let one of these companies scare you into making payments if you’re not sure you owe the debt. In most cases, collectors must first take you to court and get a judgment before they can go after your wages or property.

Type of a scam Debt Collections
Scammer will call you with identifying information requesting that you pay off a debt from years prior. They will also call you claiming to have a legal courier showing up to serve you paperwork. You will of course be provided with a case number and direct line to your case worker. In my case they claimed that I had written a bad check at a store in a town that I have never visited.
