I am getting at least one of these calls everyday. Beware, anyone can file suit against you. I had one "filed" against me on 10/26/11 (I was never served with any papers), and have consulted a very helpful credit organization: the suit is bogus but has been reported to the credit bureaus (the name on the suit is some entity I have never heard of and they claim it is a tax law suit). Got a call from this number today telling me he was an attorney calling me to settle this debt. He had an obvious Indian accent (as they all do) and I asked him if he believed in his religion, Hinduism. He said, "Yes, why?" And I said, "Then how can you do this to American people if you believe in your religion? I have read your holy book and do not think God would be pleased with your actions." He said, "Hold on, and let me get my superior on the phone." I hung up, Googled the number and wound up here.
I have had four of these people actually admit they are scamming Americans and making $7,000 to $10,000 per month living in India, and most of them are calling from a call center (you can hear if you listen) and are in their late 20's, early 30's.
Beware: they can "file" a suit against you without your knowledge and it will show on your credit reports. That does not mean it is real. Mine is not.
