They won't send you a debt validation letter because they don't want anyone to know where they are physically located. In other words they don't want anyone to have a concrete address that people can use to complaint to the proper authorities. But of course, in this case that's meaningless since they are a registered New York LLC and have an address--
DIRECT RECOVERY SERVICES, LLC
255 LIVINGSTON STREET
4TH FLOOR
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, 11217
Report them:

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them.

Just received a call from this number. Someone giving her name as Emily. No identification, no office name, nothing.
Just that if I did not respond immediately, this situation would be rescinded - what exactly is that supposed to mean?
What situation, what problem, etc.? are they talking about. Such a scam!!!
