My mother in law got a voicemail this morning (6/4) about a "restraining order" for my husband and that he had 24-48 hours to respond to 704-464-0168. My husband called and they said he owed over $300 for a Wachovia account we never had and encouraged him to settle right now out of court. Which of course he did not do. I called them back and pressed them for more information. His birthdate and phone number was wrong, unfortunatly his ssn was correct... I asked them for their license number (if they were legit they are required to have a license and to disclose their license number) the lady then hung up on me. I googled their name and found numberous forums www.800notes.com and www.whocallsme.com with a bunch of similar situations within the past week. I have sent a tip through the FBI tip website and my husband has put a fraut alert to all 3 bureaus since they had his full and correct ssn.

Contact the credit bureaus and ask for a fraud alert to be put onto your account.
"Use the numbers on this page to contact the different private and public agencies about fraud. Especially important are the credit bureaus. Asking them to put a “fraud alert” on your credit file should slow down anyone trying to open more credit in your name." - http://www.fightidentitytheft.com/fraud_numbers.html
