6176004177

Both my husband and I got a recorded call this morning.  Mine said it was a restraining order, and for me to forward this # to my attorney.  My husbands just said it was a court deal, and "Good Luck".

I got the same call never been near or in the area. Does any 1 no what this really about cause I had some strange text an email last week regarding selling merchandise on line. I got fed up with the respondant texting and PHISING for info. I last responded that I would report activity to paypal, service web cite, and gov agency, now get this. Any other with similar probs leading up to call?

Got a message from this number 617-600-4177 this morning on my cell. It was for my fiance stating the same that everyone else is reporting. Tried to call back and each time the recording said Good Bye and hung up on me. This is clearly annoying, if they call again I'm answering and letting them have it.

Got the same call about a case number (VBA-2048) and I have 24-48 hrs to response and to contact my attorney.  I called back and was put on hold by an automated answering service.  A fella finally answer and I asked for explanation and he just hang up.  It is a scam of some kind in my view.

They are calling me..recieved like 2 calls from them in 3 weeks..ignored the first one because I am not going to Massachusetts to court. They are crazy..never recieved any mail from them. As they called me today they also called my parents and left the same message..there's a court action pending..ect, ect.  Starting to get really irrated...now I know it's not real cuz they I haven't lived there for over 27 yrs and don't use there number for anything...how they got it must have been a name search in my hometown..

My other half got the same exact message as eveey1 else!! They said sumthing about a restrAining order blah blah. Yet when i called he was vry rude n said she had outstanding credit cars debt n said two cpunts of felony fraud n theft. Lmao funny thing is shea never had credit cards, we live n Texas n never been 2 MA!! EVER! Threatened 2 sue n wuldnt give any info. Well my other half calld they FBI n reported this number. Lol so Good luck 2 them! Lol

They have called twice looking for my ex wife using her new married name ...ne from 17 yrs ago and she has never lived in this state...crazy but I would like to give them her new address....has anybody ever been asked for money?

Yes they have.. its a extortion scam and they are breaking all the laws (FDCPA)  They will call relatives and family as well as ex family..

Do file reports, you can find the links above in my post.

Got two calls in the past week from these scum suckers asking to talk to some person  I have never heard of. I called them back telling them don't know who she was and take my number off their list. The guy hung up without asking for my number. What suggestions should I take?

Got the same call just now! I called back to have my number removed (not even sure of the name in the recording, must be previous owner of this cell phone) I waited on hold for a long time. Finally, a older man, answered the phone. I explained they have the wrong number. The a$$hole hung up on me!! Of course this just put me into "vent" mode!! Seems these days some folks think its easier to steal and scam others instead of going out and working a real job!! It makes me sit back and be thankful for the things I have that are WORKED for. So I raise my wine glass and toast all of you who work hard!!  Ok..I'm done now!! Wheww!

Same deal.  Talked to a guy on the line and said sheriff would be by with a supeona.  Asked for his name and he hung up.  I called back and he immediately hung up on me.  Is this being reported or investigated in Mass?

Got the phone call 2 days ago and today same message and talk to some lady! Talking about householder bank and old relationship and sendind papers at last knowen work address and oweing $1000 and Some dollors back in 2005. What is the point in all this???? And why are we getting the phone calls now

I also received a call from this company. When I tried to get more information, the man on the phone said, "I'll see you in court. Good luck." and hung up on me.

they called my sister and brother who live in sanjose ca, i live in concord,ca and they left them a message saying they have a restraining order on me and hire an attorney? it freaked me out but after looking at all these posts im confident that this is a scam. i tried calling them and i was put on hold for hours. seems like i can never get a hold of that person.

My husband just a call from this number this morning saying he was being sued by, Melody Martin. When my husband ask for an explanation the man was very rude and  hung up on him. So, my husband called back and got very firm with the man, he again hung up on my husband. It is a scam for sure and I really want to report them somehow....ignorant!

Called my cell phone number which I have only ever given to less than 10 people and left a voicemail mentioning a court order and a restraining order that would be imposed if my lawyer did not contact them in 24-48 hours.  Said I needed to forward message to my lawyer.  Said "good luck" at end.  Totally bogus.  I do not live in Massachusetts and this is not how people are notified for the first time of court orders and restraining orders.

Voice mail messaged initially left from "Civil Investigation Unit" contacting me re a complaint being filed against me and provided a Claim and Affidavit #.  Recording further stated that I've been named as a respondent and I must appear.  This company is calling out of Massachusetts and asked that I pass the information along to my attorney because the Order to Show Cause contains a restraining order and me or my attorney would have 24-48 hours to oppose this matter.  A restraining order contained in an Order to Show Cause? HUH?  That makes no sense.  What am I being restrained from?  HAHA

Called company and Agent answered the call "Litigation Department."  I gave him Affidavit # and he asked if I was David [last name] and he continued on asking if I had received a subpoena, and I said, "No."  (By the way, David is my middle name). He said that I would have to appear in court and that there's an action against me for $3XXX.XX (don't remember exact amount, but it was around $3,500, and that they were filing paperwork to seize all my assets until this matter is resolved.  He further indicated that the account with Orchard Bank was opened in 2007 and that I had quit making payment on it in 2010. When I told him that a subpoena in MA would have no legal weight in Delaware (my state of residency) in an unsecured debt matter and that I wouldn't be served with a subpoena without first being served with a complaint, he told me that I wasn't understanding what he was saying which I quickly rebutted and said he obviously didn't know what he was saying. I told him Massachusetts has no jurisdiction over a debt matter when the alleged debtor resides in another state and has never lived in Massachusetts.  I informed him that I did, in fact, have an account with Orchard Bank, but the account has since been transferred to a new bank and that it is not now nor ever been past due or sent to collections.

I told the man that he and his company were to never contact me again and that I was filing a fraud / scam complaint with the FTC and Delaware Attorney General's office.

Received a message that my ex husband had a civil matter as well as a pending restraining order against him. This person threatened to come to my work, serve me with papers, seize my car and house etc. when I told him I worked for the Federal Government and he was full of it, he started screaming in the phone that he wasn't scared of me like I made the threats. Fraud! Fraud! Fraud!

I got the same call today.  The bank name, the amount, the charges/threats, EVERYTHING was exactly the same as others here have described.  They had my b-day, SS#, both aliases, street address and everything.  It is obviously a scam, so now I'm wondering what they'll do with my personal info.  I went to the credit reporting agency and had 'em put my profile on "alert".  I'm not sure what else to do to protect myself at this point.
