What if a collection agency is calling and asking for unpaid debt amount, but not getting their address while looking for the address in the search engines.
You
can tell the collection agency to share the details of their physical
address or the website. You should also ask them to validate your debt
before you start negotiating or make any payments.
Generally, you know which debt collectors you owe
because they send letters or list your accounts on your credit
report.
They might be fake collectors since genuine debt collection agencies
have proper mailing address or contact details. In case you don't get
the phone number online or have lost the letters, then ask the original
creditor. Or, wait for the debt collection agency to contact you
again.
