Scammer. Was asking money

Wow, they simply asked for money without a gimmick to trick you? That wouldn't be a scammer, that would be a beggar.

What did they ask money?

Received a call/vmail from them and here is what was said:
“Hi this is an important urgent message our office is trying to get in touch with John we are leaving notice that your case does require some sort of an arrangement on your account right away if you do prefer electronic communication visit our website at dmscollect.com or you can call us back at this number it is very important to get this handled before anything else again the website is dmscollect.com thank you…”

Mind you, my name, nor that of any close relative is names is John, so I don’t know who they’re calling for, they can pound sand in a rat hole.

They called and it was almost like AI voices asking for my name and to confirm it's me and if not press another number, I just hung up.

This number called me stating I can contact them electronically or I can call them about an important matter.

Whenever someone tells you that they are a "lawyer" or that they work for a lawyer or law firm, the first question you should ask is what state(s) they are registered in and their BAR number for that/those state(s).  Then go to that state and check them out, contact them directly using the information in the state registration, as these crooks have been known to research real law firm names and attorney names and impersonate them.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.  

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this communication must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified. If and when you get that communication you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

They first where EMP legal group on 5/23/24. Now they are DMS law group. It’s the same number for both. They are also going by UPC Services. Its scam using the same number but different names.

Call from DMS looking for someone I know about an unknown case or debt.
