657-200-5023

They are calling my sister telling them that i have a felony warrent they are trying to serve for me giving false information to who knows what... What did they tell you?

I believe this is a part of the "subpoena scam" that has been making the rounds, wherein the caller tries to scare the mark into believing they are in legal trouble but can avoid trouble by payment of a fine, the payment of which of course can only be accomplished by obtaining your credit card information .  We received a phone call at our company regarding service on a former employee.  The lady on the other end of the line could not even speak intelligently about the legal process of service, could not explain to me whether the subpoena to the former employee was in his individual capacity or in his official capacity as a former employee, nor would she give me the case caption to which this matter supposedly pertained (which is public record).  When she got frustrated with my questions, she quickly stated something about filing for evading service and hung up on me. Don't be frightened by this scam and don't let them lead you to believe they are representing the court system in any way.

Same here, called our office inquiring about an employee and automatically assumed I was that person and stated they are going to serve me. Was very unprofessional and continued to scare me. I was like okay you do what you need to do, however I am not the person and I hung up with the person. Do not fall for this.

Wouldn't tell me the name of the company when I called. Got an attitude because I asked who i was talking to and she hung up.  Went to VM after that.

I got a call from unknown number but within the voicemail he left the number 657-200-5023.  He said the he is calling on behalf of legal support services. Something about a summons and I had 24 hours to call back at that number or an address and income verification was going to be done.  He had a case number. Should I be worried?

i got the same call today same number I have the cops coming to my house

They called my work, cell and step-mother saying they were going to "serve" me. If you are going to serve me then why are you calling me?

They don't call you before you are served. They just show up (I know this from experience).

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

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 the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
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. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Just got A call from an unknown number the vm that was left gave 657-200-5023 along with a case number from legal support services is this for real or a scam? Should I call them back I don't have anything that I'm aware of

I called them they said they are suing me of behalf of another company for an unpaid credit card (which isn't on my credit report) I called said company and they don't have anything didn't sell anything etc they said to ask for a debt verification so I called them back told them what said company told me they got all upset saying that's not true we own it  blah blah blah so I asked for a debt verification to be emailed to me right away  and he said no problem still haven't gotten it but yet it took 2 seconds for him to email a settlement offer hmmmm

No validation of debt with sufficient proof that you owe ir or sufficient proof they have a legal right to collect == no debt that you must pay them.

I rec'd a VM from 657-200-5023 stating they need an address to serve me paperwork and that I have 24 hours to call back, I called back and there was  a VM with a name I could not pronounce, I deleted the VM after reading all these responses
