This is a debt collection agency. I am not sure how they got your cell phone but anyone can get anything if they work at it.
What they will do if this debt is yours is write it off and send you a 1099 for what the amount is for and notify the IRS of it . You will have to file it on your taxes as income and it may or may not be taxable
If the statue of limitations have ran out in your state then they can't send a tax notice ,if you are insolvent at the time they sent the 1099 not before or after do some searches on this
If it is truly not yours then you need to send a letter to them stating this is not your debt and you do not owe them anything
You need to start doing some research on what your rights are and what you can do , They may have violated the law when he siad the IRS will collect it for them
Look up debt collectors laws for your state and then go from there the more you read the more you will find what they can and can't do Even if this debt waas your and it was 2000 most like the statue of limitations have long passed .They can continue to try and collect but they can't threaten or sue you for it
You may even be able to file a complaint with your state attorney and find a attorney that deals with debt collectors and sue them . Debt collectors are being sued more and more everyday
