is this for real?

i just got an unusual call from a Greg Duncan with the law firm of Gerald Moore (i don't know if it is the same moore). He said that there was a claim against me for $5,500 from MBNA. he said that i was put down as the gauranteer for IMC Corporation. i have never even heard of IMC Corporation and while i do have many debts none of them are behind on payments. he also gave me the following phone number 800-706-2556. i hunted the internet for information on any of this and i can find anything. has anyone ever heard of something similar? i haven't got anything in writing and they wanted to know if i was the only person with my name in the city. it was just very odd. should i be worried?

You should be concerned about this. You need to find out the person who put your name as a guarantor and has failed to pay back. Because of this, you are being called by this attorney.
I would call them back and get an address..Send them a debt vali
I would call them back and get an address..Send them a debt validation letter and make them PROVE that you owe this money...You say you have no idea what it is--Chances are it's mistaken identity..Someone with the same/similar name...In any case, you need to investigate this.
You probably were never put down as a gaurantor, this is a fraud
You probably were never put down as a gaurantor, this is a fraud tactic.
They also do property searches and claim that your number is the one written on the original bill - again, fraud tactic.
