Our company got a letter from TRS Recovery Services stating that we had written a check to The Home Depot and that the transaction was returned unpaid by the bank and assigned to TRS for collection (on behalf of another company, Telecheck).  They claimed some random amount (just under $1K) plus a $25.00 return check fee, and if we didn't respond within 30 days, they would consider the debt valid and take further action.  We knew this had to be a fake because we don't write checks to Home Depot, plus the check number was completely out of our range, so we faxed our rebuttal letter asking for proof.  They sent a scanned copy of some fake check which had our company name and address, but the bank info and check number were obviously false. 

The thing that set off major red flags are that to report the forgery or ID theft, they ask for very sensitve information such as your full name, address, drivers license, social (or TIN), bank routing info, etc.  DO NOT fall for their scam!  This is a bait and switch - there was never any debt to begin with so they steal your information when you fill out the form reporting the forgery!!!  Also, note that they try to make this look as legitimate as possible, but you'll see that their contact info and addresses are totally inconsistent.  I have since reported them and hope that they get tracked down.
