The call was from a woman with a Jamacian accent saying that my wages would be garnished at 45% which is more than the legal limit and that this was "my last" opportunity to resolve this matter, even though I've had the same message from them saying that multiple multiple times.

Most likely an off-shore Caribbean area scam. They call from a variety of numbers and CIDs. Pretty sure they are in Jamaica.
This is a phony group which I believe is part of the Global Scam most likely out of Jamaica or perhaps the Island of Nevis. Or Jamaica or Nassau in the Bahamas. Clearly an off-shore scamming group.
They also call from other numbers see: 251-301-9797, 800notes. This is a Jamaican or Nevis or Nassau or Trinidad (I'm pretty sure) offshore group. They also go by the name, Spotlight, Global Solutions, GDS, GDS Solutions as well as Capital Risk Capital Services, Capital Law, Capital Indemnity solutions, and Provisional Risk Services. Possibly Piedmont Recovery or some variation. Also ARA, ITS and IPS and NAR. National Recovery, First Recovery, International Processing Solutions, NRA, Northwest Recovery. They may use other CIDs and phony creditors as well. Their signature phrase when you ask them where they are located is to say: "they are in Miami but have 48 locations in the US". Right. Lately they’ve been adding the phrase “except Hawaii and Alaska. Just to show you they now have learned some geography. These people are nothing more than overseas scammers. Ignore these people and block their calls.
Report them: See: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
My own research suggests that they are the remnants of
CWB Services, LLC. (Cutter Group)
2114 Central Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64110
Sued by the FTC in 2013. Can’t operate in the US, so they used their Jamaican or Nevis subsidiaries to carry on the scam. Which accounts for the US – like scamming operations they engage in.

Remember, when criminals such as these call, make sure they know that you are aware of your rights:
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of the date of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
Read up on your rights here, get template letters to send and also make a complaint at this government site: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
