855-657-3806

Not sure, but I'm sure its some bill collector scam. If you get a message about 'failure to appear' from these guys.. just call your local court house and have them run your name to see if there is a case against you.

I received a call from 855-657-3806 this morning. I was told that they tried to deliver a legal notice to me. The address they had was over 2.5 years old.  No idea who these people are

Yeah I just got a call from them myself about an old Credit Card bill I owe. They almost had me convinced that they could go after my SSD but they kept making the mistake of hanging up on me to add to my frustration so the last time they did it I called Legal Aid to ask if they could attach my SSD and they told me no way....

these people called from an unknown phone number and said on the message they are trying to serve me with papers and that i need to call 855-657-3806 and ask for Victoria Russell, these people actually called my job... someone else took the call but i dont like this at all!

Oh my gosh these same people called for my mom under a restricted number, and when you call back the fake receptionist says hello. Someone needs to report these people. I googled the number and the fake law firm they are supposed to be and no match was found.

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).

what name did they give you? People are trying anything these days to get their hands on money, this is wrong! Tell your mom or if you have any family members not to give out any personal information about her, not her address or where she works on anything..

thank you so very much for this information.

I received the same type of call asking for a relative of mine. They left messages on my cell and home number. Message says to call Victoria Russell as well.

I got the exact same call yesterday! I am embarrassed to say that I fell for it! They were very convincing. They told me the credit card name and balance, which was an account that I once had. I got suspicious when I never got the confirmation e-mail from them. Also, they answer the phone with an generic name. I am going to my bank first thing tomorrow to take care of this!

This is a debt collection shop that is violating the law - DO NOT PAY THEM>  demand they mail you something via US Post Office (not email)  they probably won't as they do not want to reveal who they really are... report them immediately to the CFPB so law enforcement can track their complaints....  they cannot sue you, arrest you, or do anything to you.  they are attempting to scare you into paying alleged debts that you probably don;'t even owe, or they don't even own the rights to!

They called me about a salute credit card debt. The so called lady named Emma at this exstension 202.
