Yes, scam collect companies do exist.

It could also be that Sixt employee's damaged the car and now try rubbing it off on the most remote foreigner they could find. Alaska sounds pretty good for that.

Not my recent experience in the EU. I had to wait for 4 months for a confirmation in my home country and 2 months in Norway ... ok technically not the EU but both rentals in MUC also had no inspection but the receipt came right away.

For what? Not having an accident? Disputing charges?

OP you need to dispute all charges via registered mail. Call the accusation a lie and the demand fraud. Demand an apology. Send it to SIxt headquarters. You may need a pape rtrail.
