440-340-7146

Said I owed money from along time ago and wanted to clear it up now.  Then said I would be served at my home or work!! Total scam!!!!

Received VM from OHIO# 970-401-8849 stating that I was being investigated and pending to be sued- they left call back# from COLORADO 440-340-7146. Called back to both #'s and same guy answered and placed me on hold.. Scam!!!

Called, no company name. Called from 860 number referred me to a 440#. SCREAMS scam lol. Blocked.

Got a call from the 800 number so called the 440 number back.  The guy I talked to was so aggressive and wouldn't tell me the company that I owed.  I told him to please serve me at home or at work so that we could straighten this out.  Never heard from him again. SCAM!

Got a call.. left a voice mail saying I have pending matters and to contact the “plaintiff” .. gave a phone number case number … SCAM !

Said the same thing to me.

Got the same call. Tried to call back and there was no answer. Definitely a scam!

They left me a voicemail stating they received an order in their office today to complete an order to process for several pending matters I'm being investigated for  needing to verify my address and place of employment.  Called them back, they were trying to get money, from a so called loan back in 2016 in another state, which I moved from back in 2014.  I told them I did not live at that address.  But they never asked for my new address.  Told them I will need to speak with my legal council and If they could give me the person my legal council needs to speak with.  She said well since I am disputing it will go to another department for small claims.  She never verified my address or my employment to serve me.  SCAM!!

Yep, definitely a scam since REAL process servers don't call in advance.

Bottom feeder junk debt collectors. Blocked.

I received a call from another number saying that I owed money that they were coming to my address and job. Gave this number saying that i needed to call. I called got a very rude man and of course he wouldn't say who was supposed to be suing me. Definitely a scam

Scammer's they  left a number that can't be called back then I listen to my voicemail called back a 440-340-7146 a lady answered breathing hard loud noise in the back ground as if they were calling from a small hotel room asking me questions and fishing for answers had my name wrong Definitely a scam.

Calling from all different numbers. Total scam

I got a similar message about pending legal actions if I didn’t reply. Called the number back but didn’t get an answer. Decided to search it and came across this site. I figured it was a scam. Thanks for the confirmation.

I got a call from a different number that told me to call this number “ 440-340-7146” along with a case number. Judging by what the others have said, this is a scam.

Got a call from this number and a different number relating to a case pending against me. Pissed me off so started researching the numbers and came across these comments. They all point to what I heard on a vm if not the EXACT same message that others have posted here. Don’t call them back and just block them. S C A M M E R S!

You sound like one of the employees.  Do nothing and my boss won't get sued.  It would be a greater benefit to gather all the intel you can and then report them.

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Got a recorded call from this number naming my soon to be ex-husband & saying he was getting sued and needed to call back. No company name, no other details, they just gave a phone # & a case #. It caught me off guard so I didnt catch either of them & it didnt even repeat the message so I could write it down... like a real company would. In this case, since they were looking for him I wish it was real 😂🤣
