A Patrick Davis calls my place of employment stating they have legal papers and are trying to serve me, gives a claim number.

A Patrick Davis calls my place of employment stating they have legal papers and are trying to serve me, gives a claim number.  I paid my FINAL bill to ATT.  A month later I received a REVISED FINAL BILL for $600.00 +.  I refused to pay it as I had already paid my final bill.  Next I was turned over to collection at which time I received a bill for double the amount $1200.00 + from NCO.  Not paying this fraudulent charge.

The same person has called my wife's cell phone twice looking for someone we have never heard of. Left a case # 1030393tx-10. I intend to report the calls to the local police as harrassing calls

Beware of this fraudulent scam.  My neighbor across the street received a call on 5/7/12 with information that someone was trying to serve papers to my mother-in-law, who lives 2 doors down.  They left a reference number for my mother-in-law to call immediately.  My wife called the number and spoke with a man who was extremely rude to her, and tried to be very intimidating to her.  All he would tell her was that $1500 was owed on delinquent credit card and that they "processed" lawsuits.  When she would try to ask a question, they would either tell her that they could not give her that information, or would tell her that a payment would have to be made.  It was very upsetting to her.  I then called and received the same treatment.  I finally got the man to say that his name was "Mr" Ron Jones, that his company was named RS Group, and that they were located in California.  He became very frustrated when I gave him the reference number that I was given to call him back, and said that it lacked a number or letter.  He asked for my mother-in-law's name, which I would not give him.  He then said that he did not know why I was calling. And hung up.  Before we could caution my elderly mother-in-law, who is incapacitated and very ill, they called her, used the same type of angry intimidating language, and she eventually gave him a her debit card number and authorized a $200 electronic payment.  I am reporting this number to the Attorney General of my state for further investigation.

I just received a call from this number, and listened to the voicemail they left. Thank you to the others who have posted their stories. I have not yet called, nor will I call the number. I hope that the people who have been harassed by this number and have given their statements to the authorities, will get some form of justice.

Cheer up because these guys are crooks and are under investigation from local and state authorities and a certain not to be named now news station is doing a very nice piece on them that will be very beneficial to the prosecution when these low lifes are dragged into court. It is very important for all to record every call from them and cleary tell them do not call you,your place of employment or anyone who knows you and when you read about their arrest you can join the class action law suit.
Do not be fooled by the clowns answering their phones as their only job is to be the scumbags that they are.

getting calls giving case number do not know them

Got a call from these people a few weeks ago for an old charge. They were asking for 2500$ which is over double what the charge off was. I was bullied into giving them my card for a 100$ charge to help "buy some time" before they filed a judgement. I quickly realized my error and deactivated my card and after researching more I think it was the right decision. I called them back later and told them not to call me at work again. Today I got a call at work from guess who. Now they are asking for 2700$ more saying they will make two attempts to serve me at my work. I then got the same call on my cell phone saying they were going to make to attempts at my location but made no mention of work. Any thoughts? Im getting really nervous.

Did some searching and it looks like they are in San Diego, CA.  I find a direct number of 619-269-0013.  Haven't tried it yet, to see if it is them.  Guy was a true @$$hat on the message he left me.  

Just keep your calm, don't give your address, work info or other numbers to call, or social security number, checking account number or credit card number.  They will try to get you to give it to them as "verification" that they have reached the right person.  BS!!!!!!   They are calling you, ask them what they have.  Ladies don't give maiden name if they know you as a married name and if they are using your maiden, don't give married name.  They have 5 days to send you a "validation notice" of the debt they are collecting.  Request proof that you owe the debt.  State that they have 30 days to provide you of proof of the debt and your supposed ownership, otherwise they can suck an egg.  When they ask for an address, ask them what they have on file - obviously they have something if they claim a process server is bringing you papers!!!  Again, don't give any information.  Tell them (don't ask) that you will review the documentation they have of your debt ownership and will respond within 30 days of receipt.  GET AN ADDRESS TO RESPOND TO!!!!!!!  Don't let them leave you hanging with docs that you can't return to dispute the debt.  When you recieve it, send a copy back with a letter stating you do not accept ownership of said debt, and calls and correspondence are to cease.   Send this by Certified Mail, Return Receipt.  You will receive a date stamped receipt to prove you mailed it.  When they sign for it at the post office, you will receive the green card with the signature of their representative the picked it up and the date.  If they do not sign for the letter you will receive the entire letter back.  Forward a copy of what you mailed them and a copy of the Certified receipt and the front and back of the envelope to prove they did not pick it up to the Better Business Bureau (the p.o. will also track this online, be sure to print out the final status showing it was returned to sender or delivered).

If they send crappy documentation and cannot prove you originally had a debt with a creditor, tell them they have lost the battle and you will not be paying.  Please go to ftc.gov for more rules and regs on this issue and your state's attorney general's website should have more specific rules relating to your state.  Good Luck!!!!!!

Call them at star 67-888-772-9116 and waste their bleepin time.
Give them a phony name and claim number and tell them you
want to settle your debt.
Put a ad on craigslist for a great deal on a car or apartment and put their phone number
and do not put your e-mail address.
Have any friends and family from all over the country you have that have a good sense of humor and can not stand the scum that r s group is do the same thing.
They use to hang horse thiefs. They should hang these pricks.

No law against that and being the [***] that they are could probably use them.
Tell them you will see them after they leave their office. No law against visiting people who feel free to call you at work or
at home.
You could see what car they drive in case you want to surprise them
with a nice gift like a gift certificate for a car wash or free oil change.
That would be very nice.
Maybe you can even follow them home and say hello to their
family just like they talk to yours. I am sure they would invite
you in for a cup of coffee.

So I called the 888 number  and told them I received a call for *** and asked them which one they wanted to speak to!  We have 4 ***'s in our family.  It's a family name that most of the children and grandchildren received as middle names, but they use it as a first name.  After I gave him the "case number" he asked who I was.  I asked him who he was calling me about!  He tried to pull the "I didn't call you" routine.  I told him the number I gave him was obviously for someone's account and who is he looking for.  He told me the name, I said I have 4 of them in my family.  Do you have any more information such as a birthdate?  The birthdate he gave me is for my father-in-law.  Not my hubby.  When I asked him to send documentation to show ownership of the debt such as a validation he told me we would receive that in court.  HA!!!!!  I asked him who the original debtor was, he tried to tell me they were a law office and they don't have that information.  Again, HA!!!!!  He said they have been mailing stuff to his home and we should have something and if we don't, we'll receive more info in court.  Just a scare tactic.  

Push them for more information!  Don't let them off the hook that easy.  Force them to verify the addrss they are mailing to!  If it's one digit off, they haven't been sending it to you!  

Again, Good Luck!!

Beligierant individual talking reallyl loud leaving a message saying to call Process Verification - to dispatach important documents and to call them if you need to change your locations on where to receive this "important" documents.  If documents are so important and they already have my number then why havent they mailed them.   Scam for sure and I will suggest everyone Block their number.

i got a call from somebody saying that i was being served and to call this company with a reference number....i called this number and talked to Ryan Jones...he told me that citi bank has a money judgement against me and that they were going to to take all my assest money in my bank account and my income tax because i have not paid citi bank in four years...well the statue of limitations in south carolina is three years....i asked him for the name of the company and he hung up the phone....so i called consumer affairs....they told me it was a SCAM.....do not give these people any of your informantion....secondly do your research on the statue of limitations in your state...nobody can take your money that you dont have and dont tell them you will give it to them either

The belligerent, loud & threatening man called my minor son's cellphone this morning at 7:15am and left a harassing message, much as described by others above... very vague... no identification WHO he is, WHAT COMPANY he is calling from....  the threatening message was obviously meant to intimidate some people who formerly had my son's cell phone #, although it has been his # for approximately 18 months.
After reading everyone's posts here, I called them to ask them to cease and desist, that we are not these people, and that they are harassing a minor child. The guy (who sounded identical to the one who left the message) said "I don't make calls" and asked me for the case number.  Before I was done giving it to him, he hung up on me.

I received a message today stating that I was going to be served papers. It is my understanding that NJ doesn't even have process servers. All filings and the serving of papers are handled by the Sheriff's office of the respective county.

My fiance recieved a call from a block number and answered it. The person told him he worked for a processing service that is in charge of serving him papers that he is being sued. He hung on them and they immediatly called my cell phone number. He told me the same thing and gave me my fiance name, listed two different addresses and asked if he would be there between 9am and 7pm today. This call came at 5:30pm. I asked what this was about and he stated that someone was suing him and the company that was in charge of this was, "RS group" and then said "legal" and gave me a case number and telelphone number of 888-772-9116 to call. I ask why he was being sued and from where, the man said the papers where legal documents sealed in an envelope so he didn't know but it was in Florida. He again asked me to verify the addresses and I told him "no" and asked why he was calling me, he said this number was listed as a primary number for my fiance. He was not rude but really could not give any real information, he said to call the number and give them my case number and that someone should have already been assigned to the case, that person would give me more information.

I tried to google search "RS Group" and could't find anything that would explain this. I personally have gotten rude scams on my cell and at my work from a different scam about being sued but this guy was good. If I wouldn't have google the phone number and found this site, I honestly believed this to be a true situation.

So beware that this company is getting better at their scams and never verify anything without doing more research yourself first.

Like every one else got the call and the guy would not give any info. Just said it was a legal matter.
About my son and they wanted to know where he was and a home and work number. Also the his address. Told him if he needed the address to open the envelope and get it off the papers inside.

Shady collection agencies typically use these types of tactics (i.e. threatening messages to either yourself or relatives) to scare people into either giving out personal information or some sort of payment on a previously defaulted account (which in turn re-sets the statute of limitations on the outstanding account). Even if you have (or previously had) a delinquent account, NEVER GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OR PAYMENT to these bullies. The law is on your side. If any collection agency wants to sue you, they will follow the proper procedures.Threats are not one of them.

i got a message today from them i called back and told them they have the wrong number...as i do have some old debt i dont want to talk to them...and the statute has passed so screw them!
