469-608-6635

Got a voicemail saying the person was trying to reach my husband about a "curious situation", didn't give any info except their name and number, sounds pretty scammy.

Left a message stating there was a serious matter that we needed to be made aware of according to papers o their desk.

Received a call stating that there was a serious matter that needed addressing and to call 469 608 6635. Said their name was Timmy Scott.

Someone  name Tammy Scott calling for my daughter . She said it was a serious matter she need to talk with her.  She has left several messages but I didnt give any information  to her. So she left this number for her to call

Some lady named Carrie called my dad and sister and left a voicemail asking about me. Then my dad got ahold of me because he was worried about me.

Same here. Same lady called asking my friends mom about me.. odd and scam like

Caller left a message stating their name was Dave and they were  calling in regards to the whereabouts of ( stated a name very similar to my brother’s but not his name exactly). Person left same message on my mother father sister and brother-in-law VM. Unfortunately this person didn’t realize how bs it sounded since my brother and I are estranged.

Some one name Dave called me from (469)-608-6733 and my children threatened if he doesn’t get information about my brother he knows other siblings and gave the siblings name too. He even went as far as calling my niece ( underage )&  nephews with same threatening and authoritative  voice as if he’s a hot shot. My brother had talked to him and he is demanding money without willing to send documents and he has no idea why this Dave has been harassing the family members and children. I have reported him to federal authorities and will continue to do so until he gets taste of his own medicine… please if you have same calls report him … I see other comments and complains here with his name and number

Someone named “Dave” called my number several times leaving voicemails that I must respond to him by the end of the day and then he proceeded call my mother who I haven’t lived with in YEARS and was blowing up her phone threatening her and threatening me.

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 (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.

Dave called and insisted we return his phone call. Also called family and friends.

Same number called us today trying to find the whereabouts of a family member.

A guy named Dave has called my fiancé's family and myself today trying to locate my fiancé's whereabouts. He wouldn't give me any information about what it was concerning and said my fiancé would know what it's about, which he has no idea.
