I received a call from a female stating she was calling from Coopertown courts (in another county from mine) and referred to me by my maiden name which has not been used in 15 years and never in this state.  Even if I did ever owe an old fine, the statute of limitations would have by far passed at this point.  This is absolutely an old scam.  They are bottom feeders that search through old court records.  Why would anybody be stupid enough to pay these scum?  They are misrepresenting themselves as the court (which is illegal according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act).  If you think you may owe something, call the actual courts and pay.  Don't ever pay an actual debt collector.  It doesn't improve your credit and in many cases, it re-opens the case.  You don't owe these people anything.
