Complaint Review: FMS Services

I AM 82 YEARS OLD AND RECUPERATING FROM A STROKE. THE FMS SERVICES CLAIMED THEY WERE A COLLECTIONS AGENCY AND THAT I OWED $1297.72 FOR A 3 YEAR OLD MEDICAL BILL FROM A HOSPITAL I HAVE NEVER VISITED. THEY TRICKED ME INTO GIVING THEM PART OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. I ASKED TO SEE THE MEDICAL BILLS WHICH I HAD NEVER SEEN OR HEARD ABOUT OR THE DOCTOR'S NAME RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILLS. THEN THEY OFFERED ME A SPECIAL DEAL IF I PAID THE BILL OFF BY 10:00 THAT NIGHT I WOULD ONLY OWE $501.00 AND THAT I COULD PAY BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD OR CHECK BY PHONE OR WESTERN UNION. I ASKED FOR THEIR NAMES WHICH WERE REPORTED TO BE ROGER GILLETTE AND THE MANAGER WAS JEFF BRYANT. THEN I ASKED FOR THEIR PHYSICAL ADDRESS WHICH WAS NOT GIVEN. WHEN I MENTIONED THAT I WAS FILING A REPORT THEY HUNG UP.

I AM STILL WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT THEY HAVE PART OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. CAN THEY DO ANY HARM TO ME WITH IT? WILL THEY BOTHER ME ANYMORE? SHOULD I REPORT THIS TO MY POLICE DEPARTMENT?
