FDCPA requires that debt collectors respond to disputes and requests for validation, or cease collecting until they to. NEVER pay any "debt collector" who can't prove the alleged "debt" is actually owed, by documentation obtained from the original creditor that matches your own records. If they respond to such requests with threats and abuse, you're dealing with a scam.
One report suggests they're hiding in the Bahamas, or maybe behind a shell corporation there. This is a common tactic with loan cramming scams to evade US law, but it also suggests they are probably not licensed to do business in states that require licensing.
