I heard something about this a while back but it was with credit cards, it's not very hard to get someone's credit card number, most people who work in a department store have access to customer card numbers. The scam running for a while was they would copy the recipts, call the customer stating they were calling from their bank and they would read back their credit card number to them. After they confirmed that it was infact their card number they would ask for the last 3 digits for "security purposes", once they had those last 3 digits they could use their card for whatever they wanted. If this person is calling on behalf of one of these medical agencies I would recommend calling them and checking with them before speaking with him again. Also I would advise calling your bank and speaking with their fraud department and letting them know whats going on, if this guy is from a collection agency he should have all the information he needs in front of him. If it is a scam maybe they think if they threaten you with legal action you might be more willing to release personal information when they call in the future.
