626-410-7533

Left a voicemail message stating I have / had a case against me, Required me to call back asap or further action would be taken.   (NOTE: when my phone rang, it showed a # beginning with area code 1-805)

Left a voicemail using another (626) number stating they had a case against someone named Tim and I needed to call back ASAP.

Calls constantly, always leaves the same message.  Needs to speak to a Yolanda about a case. Call ASAP, blah, blah, blah…

My husband has been receiving these calls for weeks now.  Constantly calling from Mullin and Associates and now texting.  Call back numbers are 626-410-7533 and 626-531-0655 and 626-515-6003.  Call is also coming from 213-495-0811(text).  Always referencing a case against him and always pushing how urgent this is.

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.

Per their Yellowpages.com

“Mullen & Associates is a full service collection agency providing over a hundred years of collection experience.
We find the hard to find consumers with old school skip tracing techniques using a human touch, we also use the most thorough databases available, but unlike most skip tracers we don't rely on them exclusively. Once the consumer is located we hand dial ( rather than use a dialer
) each and every consumer and one of our professional collection specialists motivates the consumer to pay.”

But what did they say when they called you? Why didn't you tell us about your experience with this phone number instead of what some other website says?

Yeah, it did that in another thread as well.  I think that they are bait posts and I doubt that it ever got any phone calls.

Yeah, i saw that one you replied to. And you're probably right - it didn't actually get a phone call.

I sent over $115 dollars because I was scammed by this phone number. They said I owed over $2k on a bill and Threatened to sue me.
