Asking for proof of debt is actually a valid tactic.
When I killed my land line and went cellular, oh, 30 years ago, I paid my last phone bill and cancelled.
5 years later I got a call from collections saying I owed for the final bill.
I apologized to them for Qwest wasting their time, told them what was up and asked for proof of debt for which I knew there was none.
Never heard from them again.
It's actually what you're supposed to do if the company calling you to collect isn't the same company that you originally owed money to.
