404-692-6014

I received a message to call this number from someone else.  In looking up this number is how I found this.  They are threatning filing a lawsuit.  

They got on my Facebook page looked at my friends list and started calling everyone who had a phone number listed but never called me. Threatened to serve me papers. Checked with court systems and no papers on file for me. No company contacts anyone informing them they are going to serve you papers for a lawsuit. County or city cops or processor to send without warning. Fraud fraud fraud

The same people who called me yesterday leaving me a different number to call which was 404-692-6014 - they are still stating they will be serving me with papers.  This is so crazy...fraud fraud fraud....this needs to stop

Recieved a call from unknown number. Left a voicemail. Said there was a civil suit against my husband..he gave the make and models of my vehicles. Gave this number to contact. Said it was the law firm pressing charges. 404-692--6014. The caller identified himself as derek mcmaster

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

Total scam.  Law firms don't press charges.  Only public prosecutors.  Don't call 'em back.  Go to police, make a complaint.

Thank you. This guy is calling everyone in my family.

Thank you. I am filing a complaint now.

I keep getting a message (caller id shows up as unavailable) saying he is trying to serve me papers. I do not have any information about the debt they are talking about. He had information about my work and even what kind of car I drive.  He left this number as a call back so I can reach out to the company that is trying to prosecute me. These people are awful. I've never heard of someone telling you that they were trying to serve you.

This is a total fake. Calling from an unknown number saying I have a civil lawsuit. Pathetic. If this number is given to you disregard!! Number is 404-692-6014.

Update about the call i recieved...so derek called my mother several times leaving vms. Needless to say he made the mistake of calling me. I cussed him out. He hung up on me. 3 mins b4 he called me he left a vm on my mothers phone saying he was coming 2 my house yesterday between 10-2. Well i was ready and waiting...surprise surprise NO SHOW!! Today my mother got another call from him saying he came 2 my house and noone was available..he was turning it in as a default bcuz he was not gona waste his time coming back here.

Total scam artists. I have been served papers for a debt and they don't call you to let you know, I knew right then it was bogus. I don't know how these people live with themselves. I have worked very hard to pay off past debts and have to worry about this stuff. Always check the facts before falling  victim to these people. They have way more information then they should and it is easy to believe them.

Im getting harrassed by someone calling me and my friends and family members and making threats to sue. I have nothing outstanding nor do I have anything in collections,

Consider buying a call blocking device for your home phone if you have a lanline. If its a cell, there are free apps online but I'm not sure what all phone those work with. If all else fails, maybe file a complaint with your phone service provider to get it blocked.

File reports with the FBI, your state attorney general and Department Of Justice,CFB,FTC & FCC..

I had this happen just yesterday to my husband and something "smelt funny", especially since I am in school to become an attorney. This IS a scam. I have checked with the county, there is no record of this supposedly filed lawsuit and papers being served.
