The person calling herself Nicole Brown and her crew are a long-time scammers on 800notes. Mz Brown likes to threaten you with criminal prosecution for being in debt, (which is totally illegal) and she tells you that she's going to serve you with "papers" within the next few days (what legitimate process server notifies you in advance of service?) She generally has a threatening 'hood-type demeanor. She also likes to yell and scream too. She and her crew have been doing this for awhile now, but nobody knows where they are located. They change phone numbers and CIDs all the time.
It's all bluster. A total scam.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.
If they are bothering you,
Report them:

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. If you can find them.
