844-236-8942

I have reason to believe that the individuals at this number are committing fraud. I got a cold call from them about a supposed legal matter. Everything about the call was fishy. I got the call on my cell phone the caller ID was blocked. They left a number on my voicemail along with a case number of some sort. I called back and they didn't even want to tell me what the law office's name was. Later after they put me on hold a few times they told me that it was the law offices of Richard Johnson and that the supposed legal matter didn't even involved me but someone else that I do not know. After getting off the phone I searched for a Richard Jackson Law office in Homewood and there isn't one. Be careful of these clowns and don't give them any information.

I received the same call.  I called them back and said it was for my mom.  And if I signed for what ever it was that I would have to "appear" as well.  She/He said it was a NOTICE TO APPEAR.  Wow.  Scams already.  Thanks for submitting.

I just received a call from them.  I was driving and didn't answer.  The caller id was blocked.  The worst thing was that they had my first and last name, so I'm not sure who they hacked to get it.  The message is:  "A documentation is being sent to the clerks office .  That is a request for an immediate response.  You will need to contact 844-236-8942. Refer to document filing number xxxx.  If there is no response we will (deem?  it is garbled and rambling here)your address and (something something) as valid and correct and documents will be issued out. "
I called the number, and the message was: "You've reached the corporate office.  Leave your name and file number....".
Wow....a corporation is after me now??  I immediately went to the Do Not Call List to file a complaint.

They called my mother-in-law and claimed that they tried to serve to a PO Box.  They left a message on my machine claiming they were trying to serve me papers.  They do not state from which company they represent or if they are a collection agency or law office.  They state they have a file number or something like that.  The calling of my mother in law is illegal in and of itself.  If you try to track the number they give it comes up as a hoax.

Samething be careful do not give information this people just called me with the same matter. They left message to call back about a legal matter 844-236-8942.

Caller indicated that they had documents for my daughter that involved a legal matter. They wanted me to take message and give to my daughter. When I began to question them, they said they were not authorized to give me anymore information. I began to suspect that this was a scam. I then hung up on them I then researched the call back number and learned the truth. Thanks for posting!

They called my cousin in Oklahoma looking for me, supposedly I had listed him as my emergency contact!! Am in Texas! I called 844-236-8942 and gave the "receptionist" a supposed file number.  I could not understand the name of the entity, so I asked her if this was a law firm, she said yes.  Then said she would put me on hold and pass me to the person in charge....I work for a law firm, I can tell right away this situation was a scam!!!!!

I just got a call from them to my phone, but they gave my wife's name and that we needed to call back.

"We have important time sensitive documentation being sent out that needs your immediate attention....Reference a certain file number.

This matter is important and if not contact is made in a timely manner, documentation will be issued, and we will proceed."

These are old time debt buyers that use illegal tactics to go after people long after the statute of limitations expire. Everyone that gets a call from them needs to dial them back with a *67 in front of their number and do the same thing back to them. They always block their numbers and say they have legal documents(which is untrue) and try to scare people. They harass people's family members as well. Call them with a *67 and tell them you want to report them! We need to harass this illegal company! The name of the company is Reliant Capital. Everybody get on board and harass the crap out of them!!! Just like they do to everyone else illegally!!!

receive many of these sorts of calls: threatening, accusing, including name and other info (how did they get my phone number anyways???). the number is identified, why can't these criminals be stopped? There is no legitimate information we can obtain if we return or answer their calls but the authorities have the know-how so how about doing something about this?!!

I got a unknown call/voicemail.  She states my Name. She said her name is Maribel. She says she has time sensitive documents that she need to deliver to my address (she states my full address).  The very odd thing is that she know an address that I dont give out. Only the Electric co., Trash, Charter, local high school and two 2015 mail orders from True Religion and Lululemon. About over 95% of my mail has PO BOX ONLY including the DMV.  Its not a bill collector because I dont owe anybody.  So, this should help narrow down how the scammers are getting our info. Im leaning toward the mail orders as being the source.

I found this:

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

How to see if your on the chex system list:

This is a lot of helpful information. Thanks! I'm a Disabled Veteran.  These two calls within the past few weeks has exacebated my symptoms.  The voicemail immediatly had my heart racing because it seemed so unusual.  When they stated my info but gave none of thier info and request a signiture from me at my address,  I felt devistaed.  These days people are breaking into homes commiting crimes, etc... So it felt thier intent was different than delivering sensitive papers.  No one has tried to deliver papers yet. So, im still curious about thier intent and have my fingers on 911.

Received same call as others described- anyone think this could be related to the anthem data breach? Timing seems right...

To take your money is the intent..  One thing to remember here is that whether a company is legitimate or not, they can not touch SSI or Disability money.  Only the federl government can and its usually only for student loans, back child support or tax's owed. Even then, they are limited to how much.

Received call form "unavailable" number for husband, wanted to leave message. Call 844-236-8942. to discuss documents needing to be delivered to our address, provided ID number TX xxxxxxx.  When I questioned who they were with they advised the Harris County Processing and Services Division.  No such county division exists!

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money,  tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.  If you can find them.

I'm a veteran too.  1964 to 1967, US Army.

For some reason the scammers who like to pretend they are part of some local government always use the words "Harris County."  Don't know why that is.  SO far as I can determine, these scammers are most likely located in California.
