Just got a call for "Tiffany Matthews" at our work place (no one here by that name) from a male claiming he received a summons via fax and was going to serve her at home or her place of employment with "papers".  The funny part was the recording kept going back to the beginning each time I said something (like "BS!") or made a noise into the phone, so this went on for over 2 minutes.  Had to amuse myself somehow.  I think next time they call, I will call the number back and see what empty threats they try to pull on me.

Just got a call from these clowns stating that I will have 2 charges brought against me and that my name and SS# is connected with fraud.  I have likelock and my name And ss are NOT associated with fraud.  These people can suck it!  Im reporting them to the MO Attorney General.  They even left me a case # and a phone # to call to talk to someone in their legal dept.  I put they on the auto reject list!

This is a SCAM!  Robocall first says call this number, then a female voice comes on and says "[My name] please call and speak to our legal department as they are filing a summons for 2 charges linked to Fraudulent Activity.  I would need to give my place of employment or home address so that I can be served at which time I give up my rights???  This is so incredibly BOGUS and I have been getting these calls for years after applying for a loan online and my information shopped around by a loan aggregator.   Yes, very stupid indeed on my part.   They harass my elderly mother, call my HR Manager, etc. and in the past threatened to bring their "security team" to my office if needed.    After that threat, I contacted the local FBI office and the agent advised to NEVER give your address, credit card, or banking information to them.   Legally, they must use a process server and go through the correct legal channels.  They are just trying to frighten good hardworking people into paying.  Don't do it.   They will come up with a new name, new phone number, and the harassment will contine.

I have relieved phone calls from these people, same as my family has. They threaten to serve me paperwork for a loan I have no idea about. Then they ask you to verify information about yourself. Then when you ask them all these questions they cut you off and refuse to give it to you. Finally I received the info I asked.

That's the info they gave me anyone else ever had that issue  

They just called me again today so I logged into my verizon acct and blocked that number.....JERKS!  If it was legit at all you would be able to find an address that goes with that number I looked it up on white pages and it said that there is no information for this number.

They call and threaten to serve papers at my home or work ... I have an old payday loan that I already paid off that they still call and threaten me with.

My daughter and I have been called innumerable times from this number 443-478-4456. I called back this morning and the woman I spoke to at length said she worked for Brunson & Associates in Texas (an auction company according to the internet) who represents a debt through "extracash1000.com" by my daughter and this woman gave an address where my daughter lived 10 years ago. She had the right SSN. She stated that "Comerica" was also listed before Brunson & Associates. She said X amount of money was owed and suggested I buy a prepaid card at CVS and call her with the number of that card to pay the money. I asked her to put a hold on the harassment calls and that I would get back to her. How can I be sure this is a scam?

stop answering their questions, if they get rude or  hang up it is a scam... faster is to be rude to them... a person calling from a professional company will not be rude back or hang up...

:) sneaky

"Brunson & Associates in Texas" is listed online as a Auction House.  The prepaid card is major red flag for all scams. Untraceable and this is why they want people to use one, so they can't be trace3d. It is not unusual for extortion scammers to use real business names or even real Attorney names.

Absolutely certain THAT IT IS A SCAM.   If there is a legitimate debt then they are required to send you a copy of the debt with all particulars and MAIL it to you  by US Mail.  E-mail no good.   They are kitchen-table debt scammers-- just small groups working out of someone's house,  who pretend to be major firms and try to frighten you into giving them money.   They already have some information about you which they purchase from unscrupulous sources.  So it sounds authentic.  It isn't.  Don't give them any money or any information.  Block them.

I have received several calls from this number.  Needless to say, it's a scam.  I would like to turn the tables on these guys, so let's keep reporting them.  

This is a Federal Building; we have been receiving these calls every day for an employee who has not been here for at least two years.  We do not have the time to deal with these people.

This is a SCAM! Robocall first says call this number, then a female voice comes on and says "[My name] please call and speak to our legal department as they are filing a summons for 2 charges linked to Fraudulent Activity. I would need to give my place of employment or home address so that I can be served at which time I give up my rights??? This is so incredibly BOGUS and I have been getting these calls for years after applying for a loan online.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

•is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
•refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
•asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
•exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.

If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

•Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.•Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
•Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or taking out loans in your name.
•Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.
•Report the call. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.

SCAM!!   Received yet another call at my place of employment and they left the same voice mail.  Robocall first says call this number 443-478-4456, then a female recorded voice comes on and says "[My name] please call and speak to our legal department as they are filing a summons for 2 charges linked to Fraudulent Activity.  We will need your place of employment or home address so that you can be served or your rights will be forfeited. [???].  We will also contact your HR manager to obtain protocol of having you served on the property.  This is our 3rd and last attempt to contact you.  Good luck in court."  This is so incredibly BOGUS and I have been getting these calls for years after applying for a loan online and my information shopped around by a loan aggregator.   Yes, very stupid indeed on my part.   They harass my elderly mother, call my HR Manager, CEO, etc. and in the past threatened to bring their "security team" to my office if needed.    After that threat, I contacted the local FBI office and the agent advised to NEVER give your address, credit card, or banking information to them.   Legally, they must use a process server and go through the correct legal channels.  They are just trying to frighten good hardworking people into paying.  Don't do it.   Also - these people often use many different numbers by using a SPOOF CARD in which they can change their caller id to say "Sheriff's Dept.", "District Atty", etc.  I have noticed they call at certain times of the year and all of these reports usually happen within the same month.  Do not RESPOND to them as the more info you give, the more they will harrass you.  NO CONTACT.  The hardest part was convincing my elderly mother that it was a hoax.  She has dementia and thought I was really in trouble.  She was so upset.   The FTC and Attorney General just gathers up the number for reporting purposes.  They cannot help us.  

Continue receiving messages on our voice mail, after telling the person who called first time the person they were calling for did not live at this address, l from this number 443-478-4456. They are leaving an automated voice message stating that this person has two records of fraud linking back to their SSN, left a  case# and phone# above to contact them.  Tired of the harassment...

So received a call from UPS - United Process Servers - Who told me they a legal complaint against me. So I told them right off the bat that I knew it was a scam. The party advised me that it wasn't a scam and tried to get me to call an 800#. I asked for the company name the money was owed to. No Response except a refusal to provide. I asked the party that since this was a legal action what was the attorneys name. I was told the attorney was remaining anonymous-hahaha - Sorry but attorneys want you to know who they are. I then attempted to call them back and got a recording that the MAGIC JACK number I was trying to reach was unavailable and the mailbox was full. So Process Servers who are conducting Legal Work are using Magic Jack - This is friggin hysterical. Therefore if you get a call from UPS at 443-478-7023 IT IS A SCAM
