832-220-9273

Someone received a call from this number asking for my husband then asking for me. The person who received the call is my husband kids mom.

We all live in different states, the caller stated that they were serving papers and could not get in contact with anyone.

JFF BOWLER from AHS Management called advising that they were going to summons me to court, he immediately asked me to confirm my private information which I refused. I then advised him that if he has a summons to bring it on and to stop threatening me as debt is civil not criminal. He then hung up. SCAM! I

I got a call from same number today saying it was nick defoe. Said he was from my County I lived in and was going to be at my place of employment and residence to get my signature on, he tried to say Wednesday but blocked out middle of word Feb 1st and when he went to give me a call back number said it was the plaintiff's office in my County and covered up first digit of number with music and then I got the 322209273.

I received a call from this number also and he said his name was Jeff Bower and he was going to summon me to court in my county and the papers will be served at my home or job. I have not responded. What shall I do?

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).

It's a scam, do nothing but block the number if you can.
If everyone who tried that scam on me actually showed up, I'd have to rent a football stadium!

If you saw my comment I had few days ago they tried to cover certain words or numbers by music. But I called my local law enforcement agency they told me it was more than likely a scam because if they had a court summons to serve to me they wouldn't call before! It's all a scam.

Oh my goodness now Jeff Bower is using a different number, 832-220-3164. Giving the same allegations

Dave Berkley called from 832-220-3164 saying I will be served papers,at my work if I didn't call back.

Got 2 calls, one yesterday and one today. Both were different people and gave me different case numbers. They used my maiden name which I haven't used in over 7 years but they called me on a cell phone which I've only had the number for 6 months. The 2nd caller said they were a paralegal from my county but he mispronounced my county name so I really find it hard to believe that this is a real call. Plus, if this WAS a real debt, I thought they couldn't collect after 7 years?

Go a call said was being served with legal documents if I had any questions to call his number is this a scam?
