Suspicious
I was contacted via a paytka.net email address by a company called Tate & Kirlin Associates, Inc which stated I owed money to another company. But, I do not know who that company is and have NEVER done business with them. This must be a scam. I am not responding to the email. If anyone has received a similar email, please share any information you have about this paytka.net debt collection email in a comment below.

I only received one text message from them, with no information except to call them. I did and was told to leave my name & number and my call would be returned. Will update when I have more info
They called me asked me to verify my identiy. I asked him what company he was with and what did they do. He hung up on me but blowing up my phone.
I keep getting calls from them I say hello no one speaks so I hung up and blocked them
I got a text message from them four days ago then two days ago and two hours ago...I'm sending to the attorney general's office..
Thank you I got this message today and I plan to ignore it as I have no idea who this company I am suppose to owe plus I contacted the real Tate and Kirlin it is a scam. All of it do not pay them anything.
Just got a message from them today for my Son who is in the Military stationed over seas. Thank you for this information. I will ignore it.
It's a scam. They are a call center somewhere in India. They use the name Tate and Kirlin, but I seriously doubt they are in any way connected with them. Heavy Indian accents are a dead givaway.
https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.tate_kirlin_associates_inc.24956535c20549f347d7a79a0aa4cd38.htmlThe company has been in business since 1993. We would say they are legit.
The website listed on the business directory is www.tate-kirlin.biz, not paytka.net. So, it is possible someone is using their name on a fake website.
I have been getting text messages from them and the site was paytka.net, the messages didn’t even have my right name, so I always ignored them.
