3022326637

I received a call from a local number leaving this number in the message. They have nothing better to do I’m guessing

Called in to my land line in the office, the voice on the other end was a recording asking for a woman who worked at my desk four years prior. Listed off a bunch of numbers and cited two cases against the woman. Ended the call by saying "good luck," very ominous. Clearly a scam, do not fall for it

Places you on a suspect hold and Rebecca picks up won’t tell me where I’m calling and no business name .. I started asking questions she got mad and hung up in my face

I returned call to give them my attorneys' address for them to serve papers on me.  Told me that I don't have an attorney.  I'm a paralegal and have been for more than 35 years.  They then hung up on me.  I called back from two lines on my office phone and two lines on my cell phone.  They finally picked up one line and told me that Harris County had been contacted and they made an harassment complaint against me (IMAGE THAT -- I'M HARRASSING THEM!)  They don't know.  I have only just started!

left a few voice mails from 720 571 9774 I got the robot lady said they were coming for me and wanted my info I have a couple different ones of these phone scammers calling me for the Last couple of years

They call with different numbers and use my maiden name? Sounds threatening like someone wants me to go to court and since they cannot contact me by phone they will come to my home or place of work.

Git a call saying that if I didn't call 302-232-6637 their client would contact my human resources department.  The call came from 440-359-9967.   Looks like they're expanding as 440 is an Ohio area code.

Text me saying they were hitting some guy named Rey up they met on tinder ends up being a great doesn't give her name and sends pics of herself nude etc. All messages must be computer generated because they never make any sense as to what I would text before that. I even text f*** u and they text back like nothing was said. I believe it's a scam! Do not answer this number.

to serve you with documents to appear at either your residence or your place of employment if you have any questions or concerns about this complaint or wish to rectify the matter you can hit any key on your phone to connect to our office directly or call us at the following number 302-232-6637 when calling please reference file number HRS348853 do you have officially been notified…”
Called them and doesn’t connect to anyone and you can’t leave a message the message box is full.  Suspect it is scam after reading other complaints

They do this to 100,000 people, if they get even 10 to fall for it, they make a profit..
THAT'S the problem

Same experience, I got a call from a man, Nicolas Grant, stating I owed for city bank, which I've never been to? He said I was getting served Friday at home between 9-5:30pm. I told him okay to serve me, he did have my address, name and social which is scary.

The company name is Horizon & Associates.

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 so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

 The fake process server/location finder extortion SCAM usually consists of the following:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or some sort of complaint 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 then they will 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 must be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is 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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

Once a week she calls threatening you w/ akin to lawsuits/complaints. This is annoying and there should be a law to prosecute these people who have nothing to do but harass peaceful people hoping they could fleece them.

Have you contacted your state attorney general??  BigA gives several methods of contact earlier in this thread.

She said that there was a complaint against me and she can serve me at home or work.  She gave me a phone number to call back and a file number.  Didn't call them back after I entered the phone number in Google and found your website showing it was a scam.

Same as all of the above! These people are ruthless! They are thieves and scam artists. Unbelievable! They don’t even leave the name of their supposed business!  I have blocked all numbers that have called us but they find a way to call again for another number!

It is called "Caller ID Spoofing".  You can look that up and learn all about it.  Everything else you need to know has already been posted.
