8138631961

Got the same stupid thing Fri. and my GF called almost crying. These people need to be sued. Restraining order my a__. In Tampa Fla.? I have never been there, so they can kiss it! I don't owe anyone anything, and my son has the same name as me, wonder if they called everyone in the book with the same name? I think it is a scam, and nothing more. I wont call ANY long distance number I don't know because you never know what kind of charges you might get STUCK with just by calling it. NO WAY!!!!

got the same call, thanks for posting.  I was worried one of my kids did something crazy!

My roommate just received the same call that everyone else has been getting for me from a Kevin Brown. This is really scary that these people are getting away from frightening, harassing, and scamming people. Thank goodness for this site. Thank you all.

These people called my cell phone from a blocked number but the so call "special investigative" who says her name is Ashely Wright left a voice message saying that there was a complaint filed against me and to forward the information to my attorney and something about a restraining order; same thing everybody else posted. She left a number which was 813-863-1961 the company name is central legal network. I knew this was a scam when she mentioned restraining order. So I did not freak out I just googled the company and found this website and everyone's experience. Thank the Lord for the internet.

I just got the same call with the same words. It is a bunch of [***]! Do not even pay attention to it!

My report is the same as all these others. Someone identifying themselves as a "Special Investigator" called my 83 y/o Mother's home, which btw, I haven't lived at in over 30 years & left a message on the answering machine that was identical to what the above posters say, only difference would be the "Docket number". I googled the number, with my Mom, and I almost feel sorry for them if they call back because my Mom may be old, but she's no fool & they have an azz ripping headed their way. AND they deserve it!

Restraining Order my azz. IF that was the case a Deputy would be knocking at the door and there would sure be NO head's up.

They need to be put out of whatever business they are in.

Central Legal Network just called all three of my family's cell phones. Same speech as above...I called the 813 number and was told that they were looking for a different person and apologized for the mistake. Said they would put our numbers on a ""do not contact list". I WILL file a complaint with the state fraud division. This is complete crap !! Don't fall for anything these people say !!

If anyone files suit I will happily join in. I got this call and it sent me spiraling into a full blown attack, I have very difficult mood disorders, due to which I recieve disability. This phone call sent myself and the rest of my household into a mess for hours. I don't understand how these people can do this. It is wrong and illegal on many levels. I have already filed a complaint with the FTC and contacted my attorney generals office about it!

I'm so glad I found this posting.  I got the same message and nearly had a stroke.  Good to know I can just ignore it.

Yes i investigated on this company..they are not attorneys. I had my lawyer look into it they are special litigators who mediate between a person and a company trying to get us to pay the company money we owe from years ago. Some states have statues of limitation so i wouldnt have to pay them jokers anything. But some things they say aren't a scam because someone i know have been served with papers for an account with bank of america. Kinda fishy but scary

I got the same call from them. They said they want to sue me for $6,000, can they actually do that? Please help.

These guys are a scam.  I work for a collection agency.  My office owns a debt, we have verification that we purchased and legally own the debt.  Furthermore, my office has reported this to the persons credit report, which shows that we're a legit company.  The person i called has been making payments to "Central Legal Network".  They told the debtor to tell me to stop calling, cause debtor is paying them.  Now, i would normally never advise someone to not pay their bill, but DO NOT pay them UNLESS they can provide verification of the debt.  It seems that their phone calls are very vague, and they try to get information from you, once they obtain that information they use it against you.  They pretty much make you admit that you owe a debt, they may have no idea what you owe, but the second you admit to owing something, they start to pry into your personal life and use scam tactics to obtain your information.

I received an identical call verbatum to what all of you are posting talking about how I was a respondant in a court action and something about a restraining order and that I needed to forward the info to my attorney.  When I called the number back after I heard the message they told me that I was being sued by Orchard Bank saying that I committed fraud against a financial institution and that I "took the money and ran".  When I told her I was confused she asked if myself or anyone I know intentionally committed fraud against their client and when I said no she said "well then why didn't you take care of your debt".  She was very hostile toward me.  I was terrified.  I am so glad I googled their phone number.  Thanks everyone for your posts.

got a call that was for my husband said he has a restainig order to contact a laywer his home bound because of a illness so how could he have any kind of complaint

Did they come after you and attach your wages?

We got the same call for my mother-in-law, but she called our house.  It was Ashley Wright, private investigator that left the message here as well.  Gave the affadavit number twice, and threatened legal action as well if she or attorney did not contact within 24-48 hours.  We were suspicious, but were gonna call tomorrow to protest.  Then we decided to cross reference the number and found the information on this site.  Thanks to all for posting the information so that we did not waste our time calling these crooks!  We will be reporting them as well!

I just got the same message as Billy on the answering machine from Robert Johnson being a "special investigator" from Central Legal, asking me or my attorney to call back at 813-863-1961.  This guy also left a case number in his message. The restraining order part was especially weird.  I'm not calling the number, but it was very scary.

They have been calling many people using the same pat response . They are Jennifer Porter, or someone else. I suggest everyone on all these post get together and file a civil suit against this company for harassment. Plus have the same attorney file charges with the State of Florida where they are calling from..

I got the same call from Central Legal network...My sister told me they seemed a lil fishy. so she didnt give them any info but when i called back they gave me a different name with the complaint number. so i went on www.ftc.com to file a complaint on them.. so please ppl.... file a complaint.. these people are scammers....

I received the exact same call from Central Legal Services/Network from a person named Teresa Randal Special Investigator.. Same crap about a restraining order, being named as a respondent and legal action.. she said I owed money from 2 years ago in Kentucky, I told her I never lved in Kentucky, and I owde no money to anyone.. Then I told her to kiss my butt!!! If she needed me to come to court, have me summoned like every other person that files a legal action..  I think this company is a scam to get vital personal information or credit card numbers.. If it was a real credit collection company they could run your credit to get your address and have you served by the county Sheriff..
