Communication tactics Threatened to take legal action New Jersey

They called my home phone ( calling from - ) stating that were calling on for - ( which is - - - - - - - ... and I do n't even know where that is ) and that they were MACS regarding a 'check protects claim. ' If I did n't handle this immediately, that it would affect my bank and banking. I was instructed to call -. I work in credit and collections and would NEVER consider this a valid claim as I have NEVER received any physical correspondence relative to any debt due and owing a hospital or otherwise. I used - and called back - and got a strange tape recorded message stating that the number was n't in service. I then called - and when I asked them what the call was about and mentioned the FDCPA, they guy on the other end stated, He did n't care about whatever the FDCPA-was I was talking about. I work in credit and collections and strongly view this manner of debt collection as improper and negligent, not to mention downright unlawful.
