My ID was stolen about a year ago. Those who know they don't owe anyone money might want to follow up along these lines. Even with LifeLock you've got to be diligent.
ID thieves and bill collectors buy and sell your information. Thieves want you to call them back in order to collect more information to sell to others if they can't con you. Don't ever give out or "confirm" ANY information over the telephone, including your name; it's the safest way to protect yourself. If you call them back, they have your number. If you identify yourself, they have your name, and so on. Do not push any buttons or leave messages. These are common tactics of thieves and bill collectors alike. Beware, these thieves ARE POSTING HERE (800notes) to confuse people.
You can help your entire community by doing what I did. I contacted our local TV station and told them about this website. Beware of any future posts asking Stacy for more advice, contradictions, and/or getting responses from "Stacy". Just another tactic that these people use.
