Received a call from "Lisa" at Check Investigation Fraud Services who said that I received a wire transfer from Summit LLC into my checking account and since I never paid them back, they are calling to collect. She confirmed my email address and physical address but did not ask me for my ss #. I was threatened with legal action and told that the police were going to be notified and I was going to be arrested. I asked them to provide the name of the company they were representing and they said National Check Fraud Center. I contacted my bank and gave them the account # I supposedly received a wire for and they said it was not a valid account #. I called "Lisa" back and asked additional questions, in which she then transferred me to another person who was even more rude and nasty. She said that since I refused to settle with them they were turning my case in to the county and I was going to be charged. This is a total scam. All they were wanting was for me to agree to take care of the amount I supposedly owed so I would give them credit card or checking account information. BEWARE!

Caller identified herself as Ms. Hollingsworth with Internal Investigations Unit for the Fraud Dept. She was calling regarding an urgent legal matter that needs to be addressed and rectified by me or my attorney. Told me that I had a legal right to counsel.  I am a person of interest on a complaint that was filed.  Gave a case #.  Gave this number as call back, but the caller id # was different and caller id name listed was 'Check Processing".  If we fail to call back we waive our right to counsel (and the message was cut off).  When we called them back and gave the case # they asked if my birthdate was **/**/**** and it was not and if the last 4 digits of my ssn # were **** and they were not.  They said they must be looking for someone else with the same name and will take our number off their list.
