I filed a complaint with the FTC.
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Same as everyone. They called me and said they’re serving me about something from 2009. It’s 2019?!!! Uh, I gave home the case number and he put me on hold and said he has to go grab the hard copy. I asked him to mail me the copy and he said he can only email me the copy and I have 24 hours to review it and get back to him with the payment or they will proceed with further legal action.
This is really sketchy...

Appartley they have swicthed to a 214 612 6381 number thats what i got to call called my mom summons deal everything beware

We’re you ever served?? I got this same call from “Christopher Martin Collum” who claims they will be out to serve me tomorrow at my residence or workplace but I’m so confused?? I have nothing pending so I’m not too worried about it! Just confused!

That person posted here in 2018.  Unless you expect them to come back they will not be answering your question.  I see there was a link put up showing that this whole process server scam is, well a scam.  I don't know what you are confused about if you know you have nothing pending, a fact that could be verified by calling the local courthouse.  You are the intended victim of an extortion scam being run by criminals pretending to be debt collectors/lawyers/law firms, etc.

lol, obviously a scam/phishing/spoofing, very official sounding male, with supposed credentials and a case number, and a supposed "petitioner" phone number, 702 297-694.  Said he was investigator, with Clark County Legal Services, and would visit me 6-21-19 with a "summons".

i did call Webster monroe, etc, an atty office, acting to collect old debts.  attempting to intimidate to squeeze out money.  in my case a judgement was rendered quite some time ago, they are now attempting the way i see it, to try to use the courts to prosecute a second time for the same issue.  Webster pretended to profess ignorance of the original judgement.  they are trying to as i said, intimidate in a rather amateurish way to. intimidate to squeeze out old money.  I don't see how a second judgement can be rendered for the exact same issue when there is already the first judgement still in place!

My boyfriend received a phone call from an "unknown caller." His name was Investigator Davis. He told my husband he would be coming to his house the next day to serve him with a summons. My boyfriend is disabled and when investigator Davis asked him to write down some info, my boyfriend stated that he was unable to write. So Davis offered to call him and leave a voice mail with the information. The voicemail said he was with the  Las Vegas legal services office, which doesn't seem to exist. And gave a number to the Las Vegas petitioner's office, which also doesn't seem to exist. The number was (702) 297-6694. The voice message that answers is not the Las Vegas petitioner's office, but instead it States it is Webster Monroe and associates. The only time they answered the phone was when my boyfriend called it right after speaking with investigator Davis. Every other attempt to contact was met with a prompt to dial the party's extension or press 0 for operator. You press 0 and there is never any answer. These people knew of an actual debt he had, but the debt was more than 12 years old. Way passed the statute of limitations. I believe these are the same people associated with this number. Reading the comments on this number were eerily similar. Investigator Davis even said good luck at the end of his voice mail, just like another commentor noted. Truly scary and creepy. Definitely a scam group that appears to be expanding.

Well this is interesting.  You have a boyfriend and a husband?  You all live together?  That must make for some very interesting dinner conversations.

Oops! They are the same person. Been together 20 years, but not legally married. Often interchange the two words!

Just out of curiosity, other than my typo, do you have any other insight to the situation? (Other than your previous response to another poster that this is an obvious scam....)

About the fake process server/debt collection extortion scam being run by bottom of the barrel criminals?  Since he is an "investigator" you should ask him for what agency.  If he says that he is a PI you should ask him for his state registration number.  You should check out any information that he might throw at you and personal call anyone up that has an actual registration with the state and let them know this person is impersonating them.

The fake process server extortion attempt 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/

Well, thank you for the info. Some of those things we have already done, and some I wish we would have known/thought of while we had them on the phone. I just honestly want them caught. I feel like my filing complaints has just gone into a big bin of complaints somewhere, never to be looked into!! SIGH....But thanks again for the info, I'm sure plenty of people on here will find it helpful.

Same happened to me today. Said I owed on a citgo credit card from 1998. They said they were gonna serve me papers if I didn't call the number they left. I called the sherffs dept from the county that investigator Lebowitz said he was from. Sheriff's dept said it was a scam and nobody would call you before they serve you papers. Oh they also said they were  going to take my drivers liscence if I didn't pay. hahahahah, big scam

Mr Barnes has a NEW number now!! I just got this same call from a blocked number saying I would be served a court summons on July 11th and if I didnt call monroe & associates at 843-473-7791 and have them send him a stand down order I would be served on the 11th. My whole family works for the sheriff's office, they DONT give you a warning on when you will get a summons!! The processor shows up at will, no phone call warning.

This is happening to me too right now and i dont know what to do. Voicemail from restricted number saying its jose rivera calling about being scheduled to serve me on the 1st (assuming August since its July but he didnt say the month or yr) said serve me on the 1st at my place of residence or work and to please have 2 forms of identification available and a supervisor available for witness.<br>
said my file number is ****** and i could call the petitioner directly at 2243579591 if i wish to resolve this myself (or something i think).<br>
Then said however he will need all papers faxed to him before the 1st cause he is scheduled on the 1st to serve.  Then called again today and said he hasnt heard anything from the petitioner so hes going to come serve me at my home or work and to have 2 forms of id or if at work a supervisor for a witness. I called the number he left and said my name was someone else and said i didny know why they were calling. The phone numbers for a place called Webster Monroe and associates and when i Google it i cant really find anything. A law firm in ny comes up i think but the number i called i think is from cary il. They said they deal with court cases and are looking for a girl named (they said my full real name) i said i didn't know who that was and they said they'll remove my number. I dont Have anything i can possibly think of that i could be in trouble for, so is this a scam?? If so how can i report it cause thats real messed up to do to someone. Its real scary and convincing. What could they possibly be trying to get from me?! Any advice will help thank you!
