Here is a recorded robo message, called from 800-657-5430, most likely spoofed.

Quote:

Hello this is Brock Lightfoot a process server I'm calling because of a failed attempt to deliver at your address I need you to call 888-496-4261 to schedule delivery of your legal documents, delivery was noted as a failure to deliver and will result in further legal actions call 888-496-4261 to speak with someone immediately.
...message repeats......

Listen to message

Now how would this "process server" know if there are any "further legal actions" against you if he can't do his  job?  He wouldn't !   Here is more about this scam outfit: https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-888-496-4261

Debt Extortion Scammers

Carrier Services and Process Servers do not know what is contained in the documents they are paid to serve/deliver. Anyone explaining what they are delivering, saying "matter attached to your SSN", "you have officially been notified"  or offering an alternative "solution" to avoid delivery is a scammer.

The vague scare tactic message is designed to panic a victim into calling back.

Most debt collectors will use a certain amount of pressure to convince you to pay the debt. After all, they often don't get paid unless you pay. Be suspicious of a debt collector who uses an unusual amount of pressure to get you to pay immediately, particularly if they also use scare tactics to get you to pay right away. For example, a debt collector is scamming you if it :

• threatens you with a lawsuit and tells that you can avoid the lawsuit by paying right away
• Says a Process Server  or Courier is coming with papers to sign
• Threatens to call / go to your place of employment
• Insists you have been notified, served or are non-compliant via phone message(s)
• Refuses to give a company name or verifiable Contact source
• Refuses to send proof of debt via US mail

A sure sign of a debt collection scam is a collector that wants to you to pay via wire transfer or another method that can't be traced. If the payment method can't be traced, you'll have a harder time getting the authorities involved.

If the creditor sounds completely foreign, or you know you never had an account with that business, there's a chance it's a scam. Never pay a collection you don't recognize. You have the right to request written proof of the debt from the debt collector before you send payment.
