Showing if $\frac{X}{c}\sim\text{Gamma}(a,b)$ then $X\sim\text{Gamma}(a,cb)$ 
I am trying to show that if $$\frac{X}{c}\sim\text{Gamma}(a,b)  \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{then} \ \ \ \ \  \ \ X\sim\text{Gamma}(a,cb)$$

My first approach was to use a PDF transformation. I let 
$$Z=\frac{X}{c}\Rightarrow X=Zc$$
Then $$f_X(x)=f_Z\Big(\frac{x}{c}\Big)\Big|\frac{dz}{dx}\Big|=\frac{1}{\Gamma(a)b^a}e^{-\frac{x}{cb}}\Big(\frac{x}{c}\Big)^{a-1}\frac{1}{c}=\frac{1}{\Gamma(a)(cb)^a}e^{-\frac{x}{cb}}x^{a-1}$$
Which is clearly the density function of $\text{Gamma}(a,cb)$. Hence $X\sim\text{Gamma}(a,cb)$.
But, I know tried to confirm this using an MGF approach.
$$m_z(u)=\mathbb{E}\Big(e^{Zu}\Big)=\mathbb{E}\Big(e^{\frac{X}{c}u}\Big)=m_X\Big(\frac{u}{c}\Big)=\Big(1-b\frac{u}{c}\Big)^{-a}$$
which is the MGF for the $\text{Gamma}\Big(a,\frac{b}{c}\Big)$ distribution.
Where have I made my mistake in the MGF approach?
 A: As usual, the calculations depend on whether the distribution is parametrized by shape and rate; i.e.,
$$f_X(x) = \frac{b^a x^{a-1} e^{-bx}}{\Gamma(a)}, \quad M_X(t) = (1 - t/b)^{-a},$$
or shape and scale:
$$f_X(x) = \frac{x^{a-1} e^{-x/\theta}}{\theta^a \Gamma(a)}, \quad M_X(t) = (1 - \theta t)^{-a}.$$
If you use the shape-rate parametrization, then $Y = X/c$ has density $$f_Y(y) = c f_X(cy),$$ which implies $Y$ has rate $cb$.  This is corroborated by the MGF approach:  $$M_Y(t) = \operatorname{E}[e^{tY}] = \operatorname{E}[e^{(t/c)X}] = M_X(t/c) = (1 - t/(cb))^{-a}.$$
If you use the shape-scale parametrization, you get $$f_Y(y) = cf_X(cy)$$ as before, but this means $Y$ has scale $\theta/c$.  The MGF is $$M_Y(t) = M_X(t/c) = (1 - (\theta/c) t)^{-a},$$ which is again consistent.

It is worth noting that I have done the reverse transformation; that is to say, you assumed $X/c \sim \operatorname{Gamma}(a,b)$ and I have taken $X \sim \operatorname{Gamma}(a,b)$.  My $Y$ is your $X$, and my $X$ is your $Z $.
A: Let $Z = \dfrac{X}{c} \sim \text{Gamma}(a, b)$.
Then $$M_{Z}(u) = (1-bu)^{-a} = \mathbb{E}[e^{uZ}]\tag{*}$$
and thus, observing that $X = cZ$, 
$$M_{X}(u)=\mathbb{E}[e^{uX}] = \mathbb{E}[e^{ucZ}]=\mathbb{E}[e^{(uc)Z}]=M_{Z}(uc) = [1-b(uc)]^{-a}=[1-(bc)u]^{-a}$$
hence $X \sim \text{Gamma}(a, bc)$.

Where did you go wrong in your work? First of all, 
$$m_z(u) \neq \Big(1-b\frac{u}{c}\Big)^{-a}$$
We can see that since $Z \sim \text{Gamma}(a, b)$ that its MGF should be given by (*) above.
Second of all, 
$$m_X\Big(\frac{u}{c}\Big) \neq \Big(1-b\frac{u}{c}\Big)^{-a}$$
What you did here - assuming you were doing the work from left to right - was you assumed that $X \sim \text{Gamma}(a, b)$ to begin with (how else would you know what $m_{X}(u)$ is equal to that?), but we actually don't have that assumption available to us. That is, you shouldn't make any assumptions about what $M_{X}$ is. You know what $M_{Z}$ is because you have an assumption of what the distribution of $Z$ is available to you, but this is not the case for $X$.
