833-723-1493

Caller ID showed 833.723.1493. Voice message indicated PCS (?) has made two attempts to deliver "at the address they have on file." Advised me to call Jordan Moses @ 866.584.1199. I have ordered nothing to be delivered.  -ejp

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.

Thank you. This was extremely helpful.

This phone number called and Left a voicemail that stated I missed a delivery to my address. When I called back they stated they were trying to collect a debt for “a bad check written in 2017” they could not explain the source of the debt. They said it was for $1500 but could settle it for $300 on the phone today. They could not provide any documentation. I paid them nothing, blocked the number and reported it as scam.

This was the same message I got - called number back and they stated they were collecting on a debt for a bad check written in 2017 and I needed to pay the settlement.

Just got a call from this # stating they are calling from TCS delivery and they have made 2 attempts to deliver “to the address on file” to call Carlos Acosta back @ 866-584-1199, of course I didn’t call anyone and  blocked their # I’m not expecting a delivery from anywhere.

I received the same call. I called the number they provided and someone answered using some investigative company name…..  i hung up and blocked the numbers. Good to know this is another b/s fraud attempt.

Got the call didnt answer they left a VM stating I needed to call & confirm so that I could recieve a missed delivery, also PCS.  I called to explain this # is my ex's number please do not call me.  The idiot on the phone said "I see why he divorced you" !!!  Really.....

Received a missed call no message.  Called number back gentleman said he was collecting for a check advance or some type of post dated check, I just laughed and told him it wasn't me he named off a bank name I'm unaware of and said there is legal action against me.  He sounded very annoyed and hung up.

States caller is “Bank” and it rang 3 times.
I did not pick up.
