844-734-1625

I got the same call.  Voicemail said A person of interest (my ex husband of 25 years).  My ex stated he got a call about a person of interest (me).  Very weird. I didn't answer.  Local number came up as Delano 763-888-9243 and call back was 844-734-1625.

Follow up:  I called the courthouse nothing in my name.  And I did a been verified on the phone number and it came up as SPAM/SCAM.  Courthouse said that any debt collector that is actively going to sue you will not call you and tell you.

They keep calling my family members but not me. But is asking for me.

One of the tricks they use is to call your family, friends, neighbors and/or places of employment (past or present or both) to create panic and embarrassment so that their intended victim calls them so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills. They often call people that have never even been a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

The problem is they have so many numbers! They have called my family as well
I asked them to send me a validation letter with their company name,  address and phone
Also the name of alleged creditor with amount owed so I could verify.  He yelled THIS HAS GONE BEYOND COLLECTIONS!! Says I will be receiving court papers. I said good..ok.. please send them.
But still calling, texting me and my kids 😡

They keep calling my family members but not me. But is asking for me.Said I’m person of interest and never stated who there with or name call back number was 1-844-734-1625 scam

I've been getting voicemails and phone calls from this number, probably 5 total, over the past few weeks.  Always the same message, that I've been listed as a reference for someone.  Today I did call back (probably dumb of me but I was sick of the calls).  The person I was allegedly a reference for was my brother's former brother in law, who I have not seen in well over 20 years and wouldn't know him if he walked up to me (he was a kid last time I saw him).

This number I'm reporting is the one I was asked to call - the actual number that called I suspect was a spoofed number, as it's a local number, but it has been reported on a couple of robocall scam sites as well.

This just happened to me and my Father. Very intimidating voice. Dont fall for it!

They called my mother on her cell phone.   Have no idea how they got that.   I called and some guy Gary answered  and He said where he was calling from.   I didn't catch it. I hung up and called back after hours.  Unfortunately when I called back all it said was the # to the extension. Pissed me off calling my mother 2 times.

Called this number back states they auto recovery services. All information wrong  began using profanity and calling me a liar when I told them they had the wrong info. Absolutely garbage and they should be shut down for harassing people.

This just happened to me. Thay called asking for my sister (in the vm) and asked that I call them back.

they said back in 2007 when I was 17 had perfect credit to get payday loan out, names this bank account ending 0000 never had one at that time lop, all bs contact FTC, local police file report, and credir freeze with 3 credit card company! his name was mike!

You want her to do the same thing that I already told her?

They keep calling my husbands ex wife saying im an person of interest. so of course she is contacting my husband. funny thing is she is a detective and she thinks it is legit. (that is the scary part!!) I called the number back to prove to my husband it was a scam. phone rang and then went to a fax type sound.

See the posts above, esp the ones from BigA. He gives a good breakdown on how this scam works in the 4/28 post. Calls from this number can not be trusted.

Do not give out your information they will try to scare you and make up stories that you owe money and call your relatives. Apparently there getting bits and pieces of your information online like work history. I told my family to block the number. They also called on this number 619-383-0600.

I have been getting these calls with regards to my sister. They call all the time and they say…

“This urgent message is intended _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ this is please press one _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ message my name is Mike hi I'm calling from the payment processing department the reason for my call today is to verify the address that we have on file as we are preparing documentation to file in your case we _⁠_⁠_⁠_ now made several attempts to reach you via mail and also do phone calls which were unsuccessful _⁠_ the _⁠_⁠_⁠_ _⁠_ invasive noncompliant in order to avoid further penalties are set to be filed against you we need to speak with you immediately today at 866-383-1452… One now to be transferred to a live agent will give us a call at 866-383-1452 or one of our agents will be able to assist you thank you have a great day…”

I got a message looking for my daughter and left that number to call back, however, the number they called from showed as (217) 666-1161 Dana, Indiana. “217” is a Central Illinois area code.

I got this call yesterday, and as other people I’ve had the same experience. I called them back and harassed them by being 200 times more annoying than them. I called them over and over 81 times in 2 hours and put it on mute every single time. I just sat back and laughed and heard all of them say hello, hello, hello? One guy said stop calling and heard him softly say the F word before he hung up! Eventually they got so annoyed they blocked my number! Haha!! I’ve tried all the numbers everyone has shared and I can’t get through to any of them now! Feels good to put these scumbags in their place! This isn’t the first time I’ve annoyed scammers like this!

Yeah, until they start spoofing your phone number and you start getting crank calls of your own.  Bet you didn't think of that did you?  Before you answer, no you cannot block your Caller ID from being seen when calling a toll free number because the information is transmitted via ANI.
