Type of a scam Debt Collections

I began recieving robo calls non stop after changing to a new phone provider. A person calling mine and my husband's cell phone left voicemails claiming this message was specifically for me and that an old bank debt due to an overdraft that is still owed and I would be brought to small claims court and my reputation with future banking institutions would be compromised if I didn't agree to pay it. I answered one of these calls to see what this was about. A man who said he was a debt collector working for a law office rattled off the last 4 digits of an old bank account my husband and I had in the early 2000s along with the last 4 digits of my social and a list of my old addresses and emails. He was very threatening, stating I was facing further investigation into me finaces and a court date if I didnt resolve this matter immediately. The person said his name was Arthur Bell. He could not give me the full bank account number, he could not explain why he was using robo numbers instead of a valid business number and he had very limited information other than what any scammer could gather. He got very upset when I mentioned I believed this might be a scam and he insisted because he had this inconclusive number of things like the last 4 digits and my old addresses and emails that he must be legitimate. He said that because people got their stimulus checks they were now collecting on very old debts which to me is what scammers are trying to do not banks. I stated that I wasnt going to take his word for anything and that I had to contact the Bank itself. He stated they wont know about this because it's in the archives. I asked him for the number where I could call him back after i spoke to the bank and an extension. He rattled off a number and I wrote it down. I called the bank directly and spoke to both a banker and their fraud department. They could not find any closed account in 2016, only the very old accound I had closed and there which had no issue with it. I called back the number Mr Bell gave me and it was a number for hearing aids. I called back the robo number he had last used and he answered. I told him I spoke with the bank and I believed he was trying to scam me and I was going to report it. He got very angry and said that banker didn't know anything and just got me sued then he hung up on me. A few days later Mr Bell called my husband's cell phone again and left another voicemail saying this was specifically for "my name" and he was calling because I showed interest in resolving this matter. This time my husband called back the number. He reached a woman's voicemail who called herself Sarah who stated she was unable to answer the call because she was away from the phone and "probably in court". My husband left her a message on her voicemail stating they were to stop harrassing me and that he would contact the authorities if they did not. She called my husband back about a few minutes later and same thing as before, stating I supposedly owe this money etc.. Neither of these people could tell me my full SS number or full bank account number. Neither were aware that the account in question was a joint account with my spouse. Neither understood that by law they had to validate the debt and prove it is legitimate by mailing a written letter with their business address and detailed information about the account including the full bank account number etc. yet they claim to be a law firm acting as mediators. Both claimed the account in question was closed in 2016 which wasn't the accurate date because the account they knew only the last 4 digits of was actually closed in the early 2000s in good standing not to mention this was prior to a discharged bankruptcy. Both persons refused to properly validate the debt and only sent me an email with the same sketchy information on it and a random claim number Sarah stated was the number the banks use, which of course is not. This was not how any legitimate debt collector does it. There is no website for a collection agency or attorneys listed anywhere under the name "Hamilton Parker and Associates", only an unrelated business with a simular name. I asked her why they were not listed anywhere and the woman claimed there is no listing for them because they are only used by the banks. Wells Fargo told me they never heard of them and do not use companies to go after people for an overdraft fee. They were harassing, one call after the other from various robo numbers. I had to put a filter on my phone to stop them. I reported this to Wells Fargo fraud department who urged me not to give these people any information or speak to them any further. I also reported it to the federal consumer protection agency and now to the BBB.
