She said she was an investigator and my name and social number was involved with a case she was working on.  Was supposed to call her back immediately

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

I got this one too, same thing-message said she was an investigator and I was to call her immediately.

I Also got it. I think its a scam

They called me...told me its criminal... equal to a digital check... said he couldnt send me the validation he only has an affidavit hes meduating (1st hes an investigator n switched to hes a mediator) I didnt pay n he calledn called n called

same here, so many time but different no. from FL

Same thing happened to me. The "investigator Sharon Dixon" told me to call her back immediately, she stated she has my social and name. This is a total scam. I've had these phone calls before. People these days, real hard for money and will break the law to get it. Don't fall for it.

His name was Sean Carter and he was very rude and said that they were investigators he tried to say that people like you fraud the loan company from which I could not find when I looked them up. He kept talking over me and would not give me information on the loan that was taken out.

I got this one too Sharon Dickson and to call back immediately

I also got phone calls from "Sharon Dixon" but when I finally picked up her name was "Brittany Brown". Very nasty person claiming to be an investigator. When I asked for her to furnish documentation of the so called payday loan fraud, she refused and said either I can pay up in 24 hours or my case would be forwarded too prosecution. The part that really seemed odd was that they only received payments in money gram. Knew it was a scam then and hung up.

This number kept calling me leaving message talking about call them back they is some investigator name Patricia Morgan... .They also kept calling from (305)747-7552 When I finally called back they talking about a payday loan and they gonna file 2 felony charges against me and for me to pay 289 now.....they actually had me spooked and I know I paid my payday loan off back in 2007...And I also filed Chapter 7 in 2010 discharged in 2011....I'm bout to file a report with the police now cause I'm a Lil puzzled on how they actually got my personal information....
