I received a message on my cell and at work from a Joseph stating he was trying to contact me about a check that I wrote and needed to verify some information with me for security purposes. I am not sure how to respond to this because I have not had a checking account in over a year. He sounds american and the caller id is from somewhat local area(about 1 1/2 hours away) with a call back #866-443-6985. I thought I would investigate a little before calling back since I have been having serious issues with scammers out of india harrassing me at work and on my cell and I am having troubles getting them to stop. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it's true that at one point, they were operating without the correct licenses. Being a startup company, they had failed to obtain the required licenses and documentation from the state of Nevada, and were thus issued a cease and desist order. That order has been rectified, the company is now licenesed, and this license has been verified by the BBB of Southern Nevada.

They are now legally licensed as a collections agency, so my advice would be, if you owe money to a company, and expect that it might be in collections, contact the collections agency, and ask for paperwork to be mailed to you.
I am not an employee, just a consumer who had come across the company, and was interested in their legitimacy. I will be posting this same reply on other sites.
Thanks.

this is also under the FDCPA laws and there are cases being tried in almost every state because some agencies choose not to say this. As far as the legal side of this, they cannot threaten to garnish your wages or put a judgment against you unless a court file has been opened...keep in mind this is all information that you can request. In a legal collections case I can tell you that if you dont work with me I will request a judgment against your assets and in some states once the case is open i can also request to garnish wages however none of this can be done until a case file is open with the court period. anything other than this is just a lie...i have had these people calling my friends for "references" so please be careful of that as well.
