Jul 8, 2024 — 833-883-2930 These people are scamming people most likely using medical information from certain hospitals, or records from a medical record .

Ditto, same thing. Definitely a scam.

Text said my account was past due
& an immediate response was needed to avoid further action.  Assuming this is a scam ... Rec'd 08/23/24

Caller told me I have a case against me and to call the number 833-883-2930 to speak to a attorney and if I did not they would issue a warrant.

Warrants are criminal and are issued when the PD has probable cause, the DA agrees with them and a judge signs off on it.  Stupid criminals pretending to be debt collectors cannot issue warrants.

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.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or that some sort of complaint has “come across my desk” and that there is a pending legal matter or action about to filed against you to create the sense of urgency.  They tell you that they are a “process server” and cannot give you the particulars of the case since the file is sealed. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (often with a made-up case 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).  They threaten to serve you at home or at work.  They tell you that if they serve you at work they need a supervisor, security, or HR person there as a witness, hoping that will cause you to panic over the alleged embarrassment of being served at work.  They also tell you that you will need two forms of ID.  None of which is true.  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.  They certainly are not going to pass up a paycheck by telling you that you can avoid being served, they are not going to give you an extra day or even a few hours to get a “stop order”.  Court documents are time sensitive and have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually a lawsuit that has been filed against you.

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.

Same for me, second message in a few days despite I thought I had blocked the number the text is: "WILDREEN MONTANO, your outstanding medical bill has been placed with our office. Call us at 833-883-2930. Refer to acct MB1966986. Text STOP to opt-out." WEIRD. I am going to try to block it again with the phone function. It is definitively a scam. Do not reply!

I called received 3 text messages 239-456-1228.  I finally called.  They had all my information.  The lady name was Skylar Parker from "Associates Recovery Firm".  She wanted money up front, no payments and said they will garnish my wages or take me to court and the fees would double.  Seem legit.  She had me until I looked up the number and found this website from you all.  she had my social, she had my addresss, she had everything!  Blocked everything.  Very scary.

My mom experienced the same exact thing yesterday from the number 239-4561-228. They called her saying she had a medical bill all the way from 2014 and when my mom tried asking for information they said “We are under HIPPA so we can’t give you any information” then after that starts talking about how they were gonna take her to court and start garnishing her checks. So we blocked them then they texted from a different number saying “Your information has been transferred to this office”. It was extremely suspicious because how come she has to pay without knowing what the medical bill is right? Not to mention, they literally kept messaging multiple times a day.

I received a call from this number asking for $1300 and they wanted a settlement but didn't want to tell me who was collecting

Same message.  Acct past due the same case#. It came from a Florida# and I haven't lived there in over 10 yrs
