How long can a collection agency attempt to collect on a debt more than 10 years old?

This past summer, a collection agency contacted me in regards to an account with a department store that was paid off in 1993. They told me I still owe on it. I no longer live in the state where the debt was initiated, so which state’s statute of limitations do I use, the state where the debt originated or where I currently live? Telling the agent who calls me that I don’t owe it doesn’t work. They tell me that their client still wants their money. Could this be a scam?
