I just got the same call. She left a message saying her name is Rebecca Crosby and she needed me or my attorney to contact her. She didnt even leave a company name so it didn't seem legit. Im glad i looked up the number before calling back!!
Scam. Fraud is a crime. Crimes are handled by public prosecutors and police. If you were suspected of that crime you'd have been interviewed by law enforcement on a face-to-face basis. This is a debt collection scam meant to scare money out of you. Don't fall for it. Ignore and block the calls.
I actually returned the call, as a property manager, thinking someone had filed a compliant about me and I stupidly left them my cell number. Now that I know, when a 678 number comes in, I will not answer it. I was also told they had a fraud case opened against me and I couldn't understand why. No one answered when I returned the call. Thanks for letting me know it was a scam.
Rebecca Crosby scam. Old Becka is at it again. Sometimes goes by the name of “ Rebecca Outlaw”, a well-known debt scammer persona.
Could be part of the old “govern yourself accordingly” scam with Rebecca Outlaw.
Other sites indicate this "Rebecca" persona most often calls representing herself as from the "fraud division".
Fraud is a crime. Crimes are prosecuted by public prosecutors. Debt collectors have nothing to do with the criminal justice system. Being in ordinary civil debt is NOT a crime and you cannot be prosecuted for it.
We do not have debtors prisons in the US.
Ignore and block the calls.

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a dime until the debt is validated
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.
If they are bothering you, report them:
http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.) The same goes for endless telephone harassment
Note that the US Supreme Court in the Case of HENSON ET AL. v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., has recently ruled that the provisions of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act do not apply if the creditor owns the debt in question. As a practical matter this probably won't effect the kinds of scam debt collectors who often show up on 800notes. The scam collectors don't give you any information about themselves so it is impossible to know whether or not they in fact "own" the debt in question. Most do not send debt validation letters and many often say they are collecting for someone else. So, make the complaint anyway if they are bothering you. Let the FTC sort it out.
Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, 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 at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them. Tell 'em no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.
You have to get tuff with these people because, being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking). the only thing they understand.
