Received the same call today stating that her name was Rebecca Morehouse with Rubin and Yates law firm and I need to contact her at 855-206-8348 about check fraud...have NO idea what this woman is talking about.
Not a law firm. Just a debt collection company. Accusations of check fraud are common with the debt scammers. It's total nonsense. If you had written a bad check, you would have heard it from the bank. Not from some scummy debt collector. Debt collectors have nothing to do with fraud cases. They are just trying to scare you into paying them something.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you 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
If they are bothering you,
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 at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
