Type of a scam: Debt Collections

Today is 10 July 2025. At around 1300 hrs ( 1:00 pm CDT) I was left arm message advising me to contact James Adwell and associates at 833-390-5955. Upon doing so I spoke with Mr. Evan Collins at ext 107. When I asked what was taking place i was informed that there was a legal matter that needed to be handled. Mr. Collins stated that a company named Data Check USA was attempting to collect on a check that I supposedly written in 1999. Mr. Evans had my old address from years back. He had my birthday, scan, old Gmail address and information on my exwife. As we talked I asked how much the check was written for. Mr. Evans said he did not have that information. When I pursued further I was told that the amount had been redacted. He did tell me the bank name which is no longer in business by the name given, Compass bank. I asked where was the check written. He informed me to Winn Dixie. Winn Dixie is no longer in business at the location he gave me. It seems that Winn Dixie was bought out by Aldi over a decade past. I told Mr. Evans that I did not want my ex wife contacted. I asked him what time of settlement offer would they take? I was given a number and emailed some paperwork to sign. Needless to say all kinds of alarms were going off. I hung up and began my research. I found that JAA is a law firm in Washington state. The company wanting $2200.00 was in Boca Raton Fl. I found out that Data Check USA aka Data Check America had gone out of business. Further searching disclosed that the phone number given for Data Check USA belonged to a private person. When I called the number she stated that I wasn't the first person to call about that company.I called Mr. Evans back and informed him to take me to court. This is confusing to me. Data Check USA was in Florida. JAA is in Washington state. The supposed Check was written 26 years ago in Alabama. I asked where the court case would be heard I was informed in the county and state I currently live in, Arkansas. So a company that no longer exists, is using a law firm in Washington state attempting to collect money on something that happened 26 years ago in Alabama to a store that is no longer in business and the Ccheck was written drawn on a bank that no longer exist. I when I confronted Mr. Evans with the fact that Data Check USA / America is out of business he stated that he knew. I stated that it is ridiculous to attempt to pursue something from 26 years ago and can't be proven that I did it. He agreed. I I formed Mr. Evans that in Alabama something of this nature has a statute of limitations of 3-5 years. In Arkansas it is 5 years. He told me that a tolling agreement was filed and that eliminates the statute of limitations. I looked up tolling agreement. A tolling agreement is only good for 90 days after that the tolling agreement paperwork has to be refilled. So of course I had to ask. So has Data Check USA refilled the tolling agreement paperwork every 90 days for 26 years? If you look up Data Check USA/America there is major scam alerts. It seems that the two things used is a NSF check at Winn Duxie or at pizza places. Some of the articles I read go as far back as 1996. Just to play it safe I contacted an attorney and explained everything to him. He informed me that he was aware of Data Check America running this type of scam. He further stated that they have to either send me official paperwork that I have to sign for or be served in person. He said he doubted that would happen, but if it did he would represent me for $500.00 because this would be thrown out quickly. Folks if you are contacted by JAA in reference to Data Check USA/America find out as much information as possible, write everything down, do your homework and remember to never admit to anything and that the conversation is being recorded. Oh yea, after finding out all of this I contacted JAA back and asked for an email stating that no agreement had been reached and that I wished to go to court. I was told that could not happen because they did not have paperwork like that they could send. I asked if they could send something acknowledging the fact that I wish to go to trial and was told no. Is it just me or does this have SCAM written all over it?

Elderly scammers

Left me a message in regards to my elderly father. When I called and asked what it was about they wouldn't tell me and to have my father call. After I hung up on them they left me another message.
"Hey Mr ... I just wanted to make sure you had a recorded line of this and your father was notified and was called unfortunately this is also a courtesy call too as well so we'll go ahead and make sure that that your father is aware that the authorization was done on your behalf Mr ... I'm sorry Mr ... I appreciate the authorization today's date is June 18th of 2025. Thank you so much"

Scammer

I received a call today from a local number.+1651413738( when you call it,your line just goes dead.) left me a message and said there are papers being processed in my county.
I called the number provided and talked with someone and I asked questions what is their local number because nothing pull up the number they left. Once they gave it to me I was able to pull up info,I called and spoke to Michelle Chamberlain and she proceeded to tell me I defaulted on a Capitol One Credit Card. As soon as she said that I knew it was a scam. I am in excellent standing with my credit cards . These people call me every few months demanding money telling me I am going to be served papers within the next few hours and ask if I am good ng to be home. I ALWAYS TELL THEM YES AND I AM WAITING FOR THEM TO SERVE ME! I WANT THEM TO TAKE ME TO COURT SO THEY WILL LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE AND I CAN PROVE THEY ARE SCAMMERS! BE AWARE DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

Type of a scam: Debt Collections

Received a call from 1-501-464-6789 stating that they were the call service for a debt and gave me a phone number and reference number. When questioned what this was about, they advised they didn't have any information and all they knew it was for debt. They gave me a phone number and reference number. The number given was 855-468-0153. I asked her to repeat the name of the company and what they did. At first it was JAA and when asked what that stood for, she said. James, Adwell, and Associates. I also had to ask her to repeat her name, and she said Zoey. She gave me the name of our local hospital and a date of so-called service in the ER in 2014. She advised a large amount (over 2,000) of money stating that this was an out of network provider and insurance didn't pay and the debt has been growing and is now at 6800.00 due to non-payment and wanted to know if I could settle this now. I refused to say yes or no and started asking questions. She had an old address of mine and when I told her dates and time of living at that old address didn't match up, she stated that was the last contact to attempt to collect. I also told her that our local hospital is not an out of network provider and she brushed that off like she didn't hear me. She stated that the hospital was going to file suit, and it could be 2030 by the time the civil suit went to court and that the amount owed would continue to increase until it was taken care of. BUT....then she told me that she wasn't trying to collect a debt, they were simply trying to confirm whether or not I wanted to settle the debt or dispute it. I advised I wasn't going to agree or disagree with anything and hung up. I googled the name of the company they gave me, and it showed 5608 Seattle, Washington. Phone numbers did not match. Please be aware.
