844-782-5242

Don't know what company this is. Anyone know

It's an law office

They call and call. Left a threatening message one time and this number to call back. The number on the caller ID is "1" No name. Sounds like a bill collector, but I don't owe anyone.

This gentleman leaves a message does not give his name or his company leaves 8447825242 phone  number. Requesting immediate call back. He States Documents on file for my name and there are legal documents from the issuing office to discuss.
He states if I do not call back this record of address will be filed with the legal documents.

This is a poor attempt to extort money from you.

Remember;
-Private Companies cannot issue arrest warrants.
Only those in the judicial system can issue warrants. They need to be petitioned by attorneys, and signed off by a judge.

-Debt is civil. not criminal. You cannot be arrested for ordinary debt in the United States and Canada. There are no debtors prisons here.

-If there were an arrest warrant with your name on it, your local courthouse would have it. Look up the number independently, and call them. People have been taking this advice for a long time. And guess what? No one has had a warrant issued. :)

-IF THERE WERE, however, no one will EVER call you to tell you they are coming to arrest you, or serve you papers. Process servers only get paid if they deliver your paperwork, and if you hide, they won't get paid, so, they won't tell you they're coming.

-ALSO, if there were "criminal" or "financial" proceedings against you, it's too late to pay anyone. The deed has been been done. The proverbial wheels are in motion.

-Money sent by 'untraceable means' (cash cards, western union) is money that cannot be traced. I know that sounds obvious, but by the time you figure out you've been scammed, you have no way to figure out who collected that money. It's gone forever. You can't dispute it.

-Threats of arrest, losing your drivers license, putting holds on SSN's, demanding attorney contact information and other things like that are common scare tactics used by "debt collectors" who are trying to collect on a  debt they cannot legally collect on. If they COULD legally collect on the debt, they wouldn't have to resort to scare tactics.

And perhaps most importantly -
-REAL debt collectors will send you (because they are required to, by law) a 'DEBT VALIDATION'. This is sent through the mail (USPS) with a stamp on it (e-mail, fax, texts, carrier pigeon, smoke signals...none of those count) and tell you when you incurred the debt, to whom you owe the original debt, and how to proceed if you don't think you owe the amount, or if your records reflect a different amount. Remember, this is REQUIRED BY LAW to be sent to you within 5 days from initial contact (on the company behalf) DEMAND THEY SEND YOU THIS!!! This will immediately weed out the scammers.

I had a call today to call 844-782-5242. They said I had opened a credit card account in 2007 and payments were being made then they just stopped. I asked them if I had opened one &a did not make payments, wouldn't that be reported on my credit account? They said my payroll was going to be tarnished & I would have to appear in court yo give them the evidence I didn't open it. How can you give evidence when there is none? She said I would papers served to me at home tomorrow. I asked when these so called statements were mailed to me & she said they were mailed to PO Box. I have never had a PO Box in my life. She said this has been reported on my credit on September 3. I checked it today, and there us now a PO Box number as an associated address. How do they get this stuff on there & how do I get it removed? I pay my bills and am very concerned about what this will do.

It's a scam!!!!!

How do we get them to stop?

Report the false address to the credit bureaus. You can lock your credit report. Was the account on there? I got the same call today. Haven't called back.

No it wasn't

Do you know how to lock your credit report & how to get a hold of the credit bureaus to report the false address?

Are they scammers or for real?

called and left an angry almost threatening message to me. didn't say who they were.  showed up as Private Number on my caller id.  but also said documents would be sent for another name that isn't me (same last name).  will not call them back.
as someone else said she "States Documents on file for my name and there are legal documents from the issuing office to discuss." whoopee.  i haven't worked in over 10 years and i got nothing even if it was legit. seems scammy to me.

Received a call from  an unknown number leaving a voice mail for me to call 844-782-5242. Same thing - States documents on file in my daughter's name to be sent to the address on record. She hasn't lived at my address or used my address in over ten years!!! People like this need to be stopped! I'm seriously thinking about blowing a police whistle into the phone if I get another call from an unknown number.

I have been playing cat and mouse with this company they called me stating they needed to serve papers I told them ok meet me at my local PD department, guess what I went to prove a point guess what.... no one showed ha! Only problem is, is that they keep calling! I do not know how to get them to stop, they are even calling other people from a distant past harassing them about me! Ugh so frustrating!

A Mr. Shaleson or something stating they needed to speak with me about a legal matter that someone has filed a claim against me suggesting someone is trying to sue me. SCAM! DON'T ANSWER DON'T GIVE ANY INFO! I've had same thing from a woman before too they say that there's legal papers they need to serve you, they ask for your social and adress and told me if I don't give them my address they'll serve me at work. I tell them just come serve me at work I'm a federal agent and that the call is being recorded and the calls stop immediately haha
