Scam Alert...These scammers are trying to get people to pay for non existent bad checks or else they will have a warrant issued for their arrest. Once you question them, they get rude, tell you they will see you in court, and hang up on you.
This bunch of criminals are making a name for themselves here:
Brewton Law Firm
This seems to be a new DC that is trying to collect on “bad checks” even if they are allegedly 10 years old.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter 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/
