Caller says from attorney about "papers" they have on their desk and if we don't call back will file in "district court".  Scam.  Wants you to give the your SS number.  No attorney named Jeffrey Sessions in state nor does call back number come back listed to attorney or other office

If no call back will file in District Court

Recieved call for my son on my Phone and I returned the call after reading the message. When they asked I told them I was his mother. They asked when I would see him and I told them that I had not seen him in over a month. They quickly ended the call and that was it! I then thought to research the number and found that it was a Scam...

No company name was given.

I got a call today and they said they will file papers in district court if I don't return back their call to their office by name Jeffrey Cousins and gave me a file number. Looks like a scam to me.

Should have asked him if he's related to DeMarcus and seen what he says.

I got the same call just down.  "Due to security reasons, we can't give you more info"  I told her this was suspicious, and she was speechless.  They had my SS wrong too, but that didn't stop her.

Hmmm...I was wondering WHY the hell I was getting a call like this so I googled the name and number of the person and came across this thread. Things that make you go, Hmmmmmmm...

I received a call from an unknown number requesting me to call Jeffery Cousins back at this 888 number,  because there was a case against me, but they did not even have my name correct, so I was assuming this was a scam.

Former bookie Jimmy Chebat and his crooks at Legal Debt Processing Services will see this post. They will likely take all measures possible to minimize its impact....so it is important that we make this information widely available to potential victims.

They called saying they have papers with my name and ss# on them and if I don't call back they will file in district court.

Identified themself as John Davis saying they would file paperwork in District Court (no district or state), provided the 888 851 8741 phone number and a "case" number. Local State Bar Association search returned no results for the name or phone number provided. A Google search lead here. Identity protection company warning it may be scam or skip-tracing and not to give them any personal information.

scam.....

Got the same call this morning. Same number, same senario. Threatened legal action if I didn't send them money. Sounded very legit as they had personal information that was somewhat correct except for I never defaulted on a payday loan! Said I was looking at doing time if convicted because the check I wrote to secure the loan bounced and that's a felony.

Criminals masquerading as debt collectors attempt to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished without actually being sued or going to court, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  They will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, or “Law Office” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws.  They do have to follow those laws, but they won’t.  They mention that they have received a Fax document, to create the sense of urgency.  They also tell you that if you fail to call them back you are "waiving your right to council", which is pretty much nothing but hogwash.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number where they will ask for money to “make it go away” (this is actually the same place, they work in teams, one pretending to be the server, and the other usually pretends to be a lawyer).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.

Received a call from 888-581-8741 about thirty minutes ago. They asked for my son. When I said I was his mother and he did not live here but I would be glad to take a name and number, the lady hurriedly gave her name and said it wasn't important she was calling for Jeffrey Cousins. I asked for her name again , she told me she was Michelle Taylor calling for Jeffrey Cousins. She gave me the phone number and case # 537679 as reference.

They keep calling me stating that I need to pay them or they will take me to court

They just called me with the same message that they had my name social security etc that I needed to contact them before getting served , that if I wanted to avoid going to court to call them to resolve this matter it scared me but then I googled there number and this came out and there's no name for Jeffrey cousins so this is a big scam

Thank you BigA

You are very welcome!

Tried the same scam on me for a debt I do not have. Said they would said a process server. They can meet my defense team, Smith & Wesson.
