DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION!!!! I just spoke with a representative from the company that this number is saying I owe money to and they have no record of me!!!! The representative also said that this number is a scam company, they are trying to obtain people's credit card numbers!!!

Received a call from this number and it was someone who identified themselves as Rose Mckenzie. She said she she was from Legal Serivces and that a formal complaint had been filed against me by the State of North Carolina. I called Consumer Protection with the State of North Carolina and was told that this is a scam and not to provide any information to them. So if you get a call tell them that you know they are a scam and do not give them any info or money!!!!
This is extortion dressed as debt collection. The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. More than likely the debt claims are bogus as well. As early as possible it's critical to determine if your collector is domestic or yet another South Asian faker. The former you can sue into submission; the latter tend to be out of reach.
My notes from October 2011 on payday loan and "hot check" collectors are linked below.
