got a call from a man saying I wanted to handle past debts. I said I don't have any past debts. He hung up. Debt collectors sure use all kinds of tactic.

Google search on 866-515-4814 finds only this page, a forum for people apparently defrauded by some international investment scam.
Allegedly, the number is for the OCC (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), one of the agencies in the Treasury Department responsible for regulating banks. However, your call sounds more like either a debt collector, or some "debt negotiation" scam, in which case it would appear they may be spoofing the caller id to a Federal agency. Spoofing caller id for telemarketing or autodialed calls is already illegal, but why would they have deliberately chosen this number? Pretending to be a Federal agency, calling to "help you with your debts"? Sounds like phishing.
I contacted the Federal Reserve and they have inform to call the OCC I called and have taken a complaint They have also sent me a form to file a complaint with Feeral trade commision stating I have been defrauded by Higgins Warner Music and Entertaiment, because the deposit was made in a US bank with that company name. All other members on the Blog who have made deposits to Max usa account call the OCC at 1-866-515-4814 and file an official complaint with them and request a form to file with Federal Trade Commision also"
