Me!!! Do they leave yoy a voicemail about serving you or your family member???

Is that they message that they left you?  It would be more to your benefit if you described your experience with the call.  That person will certainly not be back to answer you.

Left a vm Said they had a civil suite

Threatening messages about serving me papers at work

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 (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “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 letter 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 letter 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.

Called me and said they had a civil suit about a Wells Fargo account that was not rectified  and they were going to freeze any bank accounts associated with my social.

i too just received this message about being sued.  called from 3029271602 but said to call 470-610-5753

IF you were actually getting sued, no one would warn you.  See BigA's excellent post above yours on what to do.

The male v-mail transcript indicated the message was for "Lorraine Sylvester." The voice message used innuendo advising civil suit-related legal action against recipient if action not taken within 72 hours.  Clearly a bogus call.

This is a scam!!! The first time a woman left a message threatening a lawsuit. The 2nd time it was a man. Both times they used the same script. Some people are trying to make a buck out of fools getting scared over nothing and possibly sharing too much information.

I don't know how much you think that information is worth or where they can spend it but I bet hundreds or thousands of actual American Greenbacks are worth a whole lot more and spend anywhere they want.

That number call me also and said they were retained for Wells Fargo and were given me notice ro settle or they were putting a lien on property and informing credit companies and check systems

Robo call, male voice.  Calling our office phone saying there is a investagation going on with a death.  We need to call to be able to be in mediation for it.  At the end of the call it said " Good Luck".  Such a scam!

Called family members. When I returned call lady said she was an attorneys office of John Henderson and Wells Fargo was coming after me for a bad check written years ago. Never had a Wells Fargo account. I told her if she thinks she’s so right she can have the county sheriff serve me at home. She was so rude.

Called I didn't answer, left a voice mail, checked it ROBOCALL on civil suit against me, will be sued if I don't comply within 72 hours for a bank account that I closed with Wells Fargo in 2007. Clearly a SCAM. Did report to the FTC and Attorney General Office. They claim they are the litagation department from Wells Fargo, which is not true at all. Just an FYI they use another number: (575) 694-8283 (Deming, NM). Did get a phone call last week from the 407 area code lady was rude, couldn't tell me any information and threatened me IF I don't pay now they will issue a warrant for my arrest, told her that's fine I will be waiting. I clearly stated that I will not give her any of my personal information unless I get PROPER LEGAL DOCUMENTATION. Never have I received any letters or got served for this so called debt I owe. If you are not sure contact Wells Fargo in your state and they will guide you in the right direction.

Said I was being sued & needed to pay $400 & change to stop the proceedings. Spoke with Whitney Owenns from legal of Park Mediations

Just received the same call this morning about taking me to court over a cash advance loan and I need to make a payment to rectify this matter

Just called me this morning about a cash advance loan and said I was red flagged and would be taken to court if I didn’t pay the $577 and asked if the last 4 digits were my social security number.
