These poorly speaking english losers call my home phone number and threatens to bring documents to your workplace if you don't call them back.  There is no way it's real They would contact you at a Cell phone number or  Something in the mail or post something on your door

Really?
A call to a cell phone is more "official" than a call to a landline?

Quite correct!
The fact is that these are scammers posing as process servers in order to get you to call them so they can browbeat you into paying them for a (usually non-existent) debt by using the threat of taking you to court for it.
Fortunately, they always tip their hand at the start - Real process servers do not call people up (neither cell phone nor landline) and tell them they have documents for them, they just show up and serve the documents.

Just ignore the calls, they may call a few more times but will give up when they realize you are not going to respond and will not be a potential victim.

Scam for sure. Do not call.

Call was from(713)893-2561 They did not say who complaint is from, or what agency, but needed to get hold of person

Such BS. As stated by others, they claim to have a complaint filled against you and papers are being prepared that they will bring to you at home/work unless you call back. Big no. Total scam scumbags

Yep, very threatening on the voice message to my cell.  As others stated, they are about to bring documents to my home or work, about to file a claim in court, never said who or what it is...scam artistry for sure

Called my wife number and my number saying the same stuff. India speaking at first then a recording and never says what company just a fake file number.

I received the same call yesterday only they were looking for someone I have not spoken to in over 20 years.  She was is an ex sister-n-law so not sure how they associated my number with her or how they even got my number.  I did not answer and they can keep calling cause I do not answer calls from numbers I do not know...this is a prime example as to why I do not!

They called me thanks everyone for the heads up. They got an ear full from me. It was fun.

Was called today from a local number leaving this number to call. I did call and ask what scam is this? And the nasty woman who answered said it was an attorney's office got rude and hung up on me - not not an office. She sounded southern. Supposedly there was a complain filed and the document will be sent out to me to sign at my work or home. This isn't the way the law works obviously.

Got a call from a “Hazel” asking for my dad, I said I could take a message. They even gave me a case number so I though man these guys are good. Called the number they provided and said I was him and wanted to know what this was about. They called me by my real name (weird) and said they knew I was lying (no duh, a woman’s voice with a very clearly man’s name) and that I was ignorant to question their validity. I told them to have fun scamming someone else

Just got the same call ..they called from a local number telling me I had to reach them at this 657 number to speak to the “ issuing agent “ of my paperwork 🙄

Whenever someone tells you that they are a "lawyer" or that they work for a lawyer or law firm, the first question you should ask is what state(s) they are registered in and their BAR number for that/those state(s).  Then go to that state and check them out, contact them directly using the information in the state registration, as these crooks have been known to research real law firm names and attorney names and impersonate them.

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 and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off of the internet.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or that some sort of complaint has “come across my desk” 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 they 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 have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually 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.

I just received a local call and caller Floyd with an accent left a message about a file. Then a female recording no accent stated a case and call 657-502-3225 regarding documents. First clue was the name and not my first name. I don't answer phone unless I know who is calling. Second, google it and here it is!

Since any phone number can be spoofed including those in your contact list there is no possible way for you to be 100% certain as to who is calling.

They were threatening me saying they are going to serve me

How do you get them to stop?
