844-434-1141

got a message from this number saying i would be served within the next 48 hrs and to have 2 forms of id and if at my job a supervisor needs to be available as a witness. I called the number back and it just says leave a message, without announcing the company or any business practices at all. the message says he is ANTHONY STONE. I have not received any summons or letter in the mail about any debt or any irs notices, so i can not imagine where this would be coming from. IN the message he does not address anyone by name.

I do too. But he left me a message saying he was serving me with a summons and to have id. I posted and reported the info he left me. I called back and it just ask you to leave a message. Be careful...

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.  They will deliver the notification without warning.

got a message from this number saying i would be served within the next 48 hrs and to have 2 forms of id and if at my job a supervisor needs to be available as a witness. Failure to sign for Summons would be considered  failure to appear in court. Blah, blah. I have received several of these calls with a similar message. It is their attempt to scare you into paying them a "fee to stop summons". A legitmate Summons is served without warning, and you can never be charged a no show at court for not signing for one, as well as there will never be a stop summons fee.  THESE ARE  SCAMS!

This was texted to my phone:
This is Anthony Stone with Priority legal caring Services and I have a summons in hand for you. I'm scheduled to go out to your home and place of employment within the next 24 to 48 hours. Please make yourself available with two valid forms of ID. If you are served your summons at work a supervisor or head of security will need to be available to sign off as a witness. Please be advised failure to sign for the summons may result in a missed court appearance. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact the party that is filing against you at 844-434-1141 or you can press one after the tone.

Easy fix: Simply forward the number associated with this text to 7726 (short code for SPAM). Your cell provider will investigate and block.

Problem solved.

Just received the voice mail as well. F these guys. Don't call them back. I haven't had any bad debts in over 10yrs past the statute of limitation. Financed 2 homes 800 plus credit score. Don't let them fool you by you calling them back it might reestablish the statute, not too sure but...

obvious a real peace of chit ! same story as everyone else here, would really "LIKE" him to show up and meet Mr Smith and...

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) (15 U.S.C. §1962) is a federal law enacted in 1978 to protect consumers from debt collector harassment and abuse. The law clearly outlines collection practices that are considered unfair, abusive, and deceptive.

Who Is Considered a Creditor under the FDCPA?

The FDCPA defines a creditor as the person or entity that extended you the credit in the first place (original lender). Since the FDCPA is designed to protect debtors against third party debt collectors, it does not apply to an original creditor or its employees.

However, there is an exception to this rule. When collecting its own debts, a creditor will not be exempt from the FDCPA if it uses a different name that implies a third party is attempting to collect the debt.

http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-i ... r-creditor.html

Know your FDCPA rights!
Whether you are receiving phone calls, letters, or have been sued, you have rights under the FDCPA. Even if you owe the debt and cannot pay it or dispute the amount claimed, debt collectors must comply with the law. Debt collectors are required to provide you with accurate information, produce proof of the debt upon request, and may never engage in intimidation or harassment.

Under the FDCPA, debt collectors cannot:

• Call you if you have told them to stop.
• Call you at all, once notified that you are represented by an attorney.
• Call your family, friends, co-workers, or anyone else to discuss the debt.
• Call you before 8:00 am or after 9:00 pm, unless you have granted permission beforehand.
• Call you at any time or place which is inconvenient for you to receive such calls.
• Harass you by calling repeatedly.
• When calling family or friends, collectors may only call once, and only to request information on how to locate you.
• Lie or falsely imply, in any communication, that the collector is a government agency, is serving you with papers, that you are subject to arrest, or that you have committed a crime.
• Provide untruthful information about the debt or the amount owed.
• Threaten to harm you.
• Threaten to seize your paycheck, bank accounts, or property.
• Use obscene language in communicating with you.
• Publish your name on a "bad debt list" (except to a credit rating agency).
• Fail to identify themselves as debt collectors in every communication.
• Demand your social security number, credit or debit card number, or bank account number.
• Fail to inform you that any information provided to them will be used to collect the debt.
• Attempt to collect a debt that is so old that it is beyond the statute of limitations, unless the consumer is told.

Debt collectors must give you the following information upon request:

• The amount of the debt.
• The name of the creditor to whom you allegedly owe the debt.
• A verification letter sent within five days of the first communication with the consumer.
  
  • The verification letter must explain that, unless the consumer disputes the validity of the debt (or any portion thereof) within 30 days after receipt of the notice, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector.
  • The letter must say that, if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the 30-day period that the debt (or any portion thereof) is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer. In turn, a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector.
  • The letter must say that, upon the consumer's written request within the 30-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

I got the same call word for word. In light of what I've found on here, I will wait and see if they have the guts to take this scam to the next level!

Telling me I am going to receive papers for court

This number called me saying my husband owe keys and that a court is filling against him and he owe  1000 ish lol but and u know extra stuff.......  my question is how did they get both our ss# address and stating we have bank account?????  Ugh help

I just got the same call. It's fraud. My ex husband works in law enforcement and said its fraud. They don't call to summons you. If you get court ordered to be somewhere a constable serves you and they don't go to work you. That's harassment.

I received the same message on my cell phone today.  Did not return call, it is a scam.  Reporting the phone number to the Texas Attorney Generals Office.

Just received the same voice mail as well from Anthony Stone with Priority legal caring Services.

My wife and I got the same call. Word for word. What a joke. Do they really expect ppl to fall for this [***]?

It's basically a debt collection scam.  Ignore and block the calls.

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.

Priority Legal  Care Services, and/or  Legal Caring Services have a long history of debt scamming on 800notes.  This is most likely the same group.  This "Anthony Stone" persona is a  total fraud.   Now using an AKA of Kenneth Field.

He sometimes says he's with Legal Caring but I don't know where that is.  According to the BBB,  Legal Caring along with a related company  Swanson Walker & Associates Inc. was shut down by the New York Attorney General, see http://www.bbb.org/upstate-new-york/Business- ... t-ny-235970600/

Anthony Stone  however,  is still scamming and using a similar CID on his calls.

In any event:

Report them:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general.

If they keep calling you tell them you know it's a scam and that you'll be making a compliant to the police for extortion.
