Type of a scam Debt Collections

I received a phone call from my husband that he had received a phone call stating I had a civil lawsuit pending against me and I was being Subpoenaed. He told me that the man had left a court case number and phone number with him. When I called this number back the man asked for the case number, he then proceeded to give me my Full maiden name, my Social Security number, my birthdate, and an old account that I had had with the bank. He then proceeded to tell me that I had to pay a certain amount or I was going to have to pay three times that amount plus attorneys fees. He said if I didn’t pay that then they would garnish up to 25% of my wages or taxes and that I would be subpoenaed for a civil court case. Knowing that he had given me my Social Security number, my birthday, an actual old number for a bank account that I had had prior I opted to just pay the small amount. He Told me if I didn’t pay immediately it would automatically be 3 times more plus attorneys fees. I wish I would’ve been smarter but I paid a small amount In the tune of $1317.89. After that call I was talking to my sister and she said it didn’t sound right. I called the bank that had that old account and I asked them if they see you people civilly. They replied that they do not and that I needed to call back that number and ask for a hardcopy of any information they had on me. I called the number back and spoke with the guy who never gave me his name and told him that I would like a copy of everything they have on me for this “case”. He then told me he couldn’t give me the information because that is a stall tactic people use to not pay, And that if I didn’t continue with the payment it was automatically going to be the three times more. He claimed that he could stop payment on it But that automatically bumped it up to the full amount as well as a court case. I immediately contacted the FTC, As well as the attorney general in my area who sent me in the direction of my bank and told me that it was fraudulent after looking up the information and saying that Oakmont recovery group is not a licensed group. By then the payment had already posted… Little did I know they actually posted immediately there was no way to stop payment so now my bank is trying to help me recover the money that was fraudulently taken from me. As I was sitting in the bank I called the number again I specifically asked for their license number even though I knew they didn’t have one and I asked for their Address. I ended up being hung up on. As of now I’m out the money and I feel silly. But this wasn’t an ordinary scam, they knew my SS# and Birthdate, my old account #& bank, they had my maiden name and contacted my husband and father. They knew so much that I thought there was no way they weren’t legitimate. Lesson learned the hard way. They run through 2 names Oakmont Recovery Service and BCT. Same phone number but again no name on anything. They contact your family, they threaten lawsuits and they basically force you to pay under the guise that you will have to pay triple plus attorneys fees if you don’t pay. In my opinion this is nothing short of extortion and I don’t want someone else to fall victim to it.
