833-669-1571

Originally called from a Phoenix number but when they left a message they said they are from Jackson Edwards and associates and gave this number. They had the last 4 of my social and my previous address and said they are going to serve me papers at my place of employment…I’ve been a SAHM for the last couple years HAH

Calling to garnish my wages from Jackson and Edwards

Received a call from Jackson Edwards and Associates threatening to come to my home and place of work to serve a summons???? Even used my last 4 digits of my SS#!!! I called them back but of course no answer. Never even stated what bill they were referencing. This is truly a scam and just sad/shameful. Even if you owe debts, these method of  harassment should never be allowed.

Another number called stating I owed a payday mobility loan which I don't said they were gonna put lien on my check and bank account that they were gonna serve me at my job to have a manager present. See they don't know is that I don't even have an open case in the court system. It was a scare tactic.

Scam! Real process servers don't call in advance.

Same are above. Gave me contact information for Jackson and Edwards. When I asked her for her return phone number, she hung up.

said they were going to have me served after a 24 hour hold on the case.

I got this too… assuming not to worry about it? They knew my street name…

Said to call in 24 hours, or they were going to serve my work place or my home and said my street name… not sure what to do!!!????

I had a dispatch call from my home county.
Gave me this phone number and case number.
I called left a message, called back and Jon turner answered?
He looked up my my case number, confirmed my first and last name, last 4 social, and business of company I think I might have a debt it. It seems super legit and based on these comments I’m not sure what to do.

Tell them to MAIL you proof of their claims. As per the FDCPA. When they refuse and/or start making excuses & threats (which they will) that's it! The Weasels ARE SCAMMERS!
  Be Safe. Be Aware.

I got the same thing, going to serve me after a 24 hour hold for me to resolve this with them, They also mention my street address.  What did you guys do, ignore it or call them?

Try reading the other comments!!!

WOW! I did,
I was replying/asking Tay, as they said not sure what to do as they posted that 2 days ago.

A number from my zip code called and said that they were retaining records for Jackson Edwards and Aasociates. They had the last four of my social security and my current address. When asked what was this in reference to, she gave me the number: 833-669-1571. Called abs no one answered. Be careful!!

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.
