855-641-6961

The company that is using this number comes across as blocked. They left a voice message claiming they are from Legal Support Services and that I was going to be served today at my home or office. We shall see.

They have called my home, my cell, my daughter.  Claiming they have documents from "the county" to be served tomorrow between 2 and 5, I must have a witness with me or they will come to my office and have the administrator sign off as a witness REALLY???  Mr. Ferguson was very well scripted, funny if you listen closely you can hear the other "private Process servers" in the background.  I have done nothing that  "the county" would be serving me for!!!!   I am so sick of these people illegally representing these debt collectors.

I got a call from a pay phone from a man saying that he is a private courier and I'm being served today by the county and if I have any questions prior to his arrival I should call (855)641-6961.  I haven't done anything wrong and haven't received any written notice about anything.  The number the man called from was a pay phone that doesn't except incoming phone calls.  I don't appreciate these type of calls.M

I was wondering if you were actually served. thanks

I received a voice mail message at work from a man stating he is a process server for Dallas County,
that he would be seeing me within the hour at my residence, and I would need to provide a form of
ID for proper service, and stating that I have been notified.  But, he left the 855-641-6961 number,
which is nothing I recognize or know about, and it is not process servicers that I know of.

Has anyone had one of the (fake) process servers show up at their residence or office?
Harass their neighbors?  Family?

Anyone found out who they really are?

I have not received the same call and this is either an abusive debt collector or a scammer. Abuses vary from threatening a lawsuit which may or may not happen to telling family and workplace about your alleged debt. Anything can happen. Be prepared.
Your caller violated section 809 (and others) of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

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.>

I received the same message as margaret b did. these people put you on automatic call  and will try to scare you into thinking the county  you live in will come and serve you  even had a county  number wich when call back its a fax number

I rec'd a call from Alisha Sullivan yesterday similar to Jill Olson except she represented Fresno County. She even used a telephone number from the county court house when I did a reverse look up, the number came back as a fax machine in the Criminal Courts of Fresno County.

I received a voicemail from a James Conrad saying to contact 855-641-6961. Called the number and there saying I'm getting charged with Fraud and Default to Fraud their saying I will go to jail for defaulting. i called the people and they are so rude. The guy I spoke with Michael keeps saying I'm going to jail for defaulting on the payment arrangement with them, and now he will give me Default to Fraud on a loan from 2010 including the Fraud charge. not sure if this is a scam or not. Help!

I received the exact same voicemail from a James Conrad. have u found out if this is a scam?

If you don't mind my asking what county did this "Michael lewis" say he was delivering from? I got very similar call, from a "private mail currior" named Michael Lewis, and was wondering if it was the same county?

This idiots continue to call and harass my employment. I called our local police department and filed a report against them. At least I started the paper trail. They call from 1-855-641-6961.  I also contacted the better business....Make sure you do the same.  The lady that called was STACY BUSH ( ya sure).  She threaten legal action and to serve papers. Bring it on. These people run scams 24/7.  Make sure you report them to your local police department. Be "nice" to them at first. Get their name, their boss, the name of the company and mailing address. Very important to get this information.

MICHAEL LEWIS called my place of employment today and said he'd be arriving around 2-3pm to serve me with papers. Um... I work on a guarded, gated military installation. Good luck getting past security Mr. Lewis. The message said to call 1-855-641-6961 for more information. When I did, I spoke to a woman named LISA CAMPBELL who claimed she was an attorney. She said I owed money for a loan that I KNOW i didn't take out. She said I owed $7000 dollars, but she could ask me county's DA to give me a settlement of $4300... which she then lowered to $2500. But she said the original loan amount was only $1000 and she claimed I had already made a few payments. She then DEMANDED my credit card information and got very aggressive when I refused to give it to her. I also told her before giving her any information, I would have to check with the DA and the loan company, at which point she told me that the loan company nor the DA would know what I was talking about and would not be able to help me. Additionally, I was sent an email from a HELLEN MIANDROS which was on a very unofficial looking letterhead from a law firm called SEGAL, BENNET and ASSOCIATES. The purpose of this email was apparently to confirm that this conpamy owns my debt. I'm not buying it...

Got a voice mail recording from 716-247-9664 stating that they are from Segal, Bennet and Associates saying that my file has been assigned and ready for review and to call them back at 855-641-6961 to go over the details. Then it goes on to say that when calling please refer to your.......and it cuts off.

Hello..I'm so glad I read your comment because same thing happened to me last week and they sent me an email of my debt from HELLEN MIANDROS.. I was wondering if I was being scammed. Someone was suppose to come today to make me sign papers but never showed up. Thank you.

They have now moved on to new names and they have a new phone number. My husband stopped them though. Also talked to same guy in last 2 days and was given 2 different names. Also called DA. They have no clue what I'm talking about. Kinda strange and sad how people are making money from innocent people. GET OUT AND GET A REAL JOB
