Fast talking, one sentence running into the next message in my voicemail.  Adam Parmer, document, clerk's office...,  I called back and asked what office this was and the response was  "Hello?   hello?" I called # back again, and when I asked the origin office he said it was a litigation office.  The name? Gooseman something something ?? Again fast talking not clear.  When I said, I think this is a scam he responded ok.

I just had the same message left.  Very fast talking, almost sounded robotic. I called back but no answer.

They said they were trying to deliver a letter from an attorney regarding an account on my credit report that is delinquent. the account was fraudulently signed as I know how to spell my name.

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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation.  It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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.

Asking for my brother in law to deliver a package

They called saying they were trying to deliver a letter. So call different number with reference #. The when I told person I never had that bank I supposedly owed. He got quiet. So I'm like " hello" and he proceeded to get smart and say what do I want him to do I keep repeating the same thing over. At that point I knew it was a scam and hung up. Beware

They called my daughter worrying her that I needed to get ahold of them right away. Told her they had a letter that needed to be signed for. Gave her a reference number and a call back number. Pisses me off. Don't mess with my kids...

So the free internet company AOL called you?  Everyone else seems to think that it was OLS.
