I got it just now

Had the same exact text today!

Thank you so very much for all the information in your post.  You have given me peace of mind.  You may never know how much you just helped me and I'm sure a ton of other people.  God bless you.

Same text as above.  I called and they Said I owed over $2,000 for a debt that they were claiming I owed they said that I was being sued in that my wages and or tax return would be garnished. I was then told to please hold and was on hold for several minutes so I ended up hanging up and calling back as soon as I called back I told him my name and the woman asked me to hold and transferred me to another line I guess and that line started ringing and I was then put on hold again. I didn't have time for this so I just ended up hanging up no one ever called me back.

As soon as they mentioned tax return you should have known that it was a lie.

Was for my ex that I am prosecuting for assault. I blocked the number and since he has been in jail for 3 years waiting for trial I will nit even be calling to give them his number.

I received a text saying to get in touch with you. I was wondering what it could be about.. I wasn't sure if it was scammers , I have gotten those before, so im just making sure this is legit first. Thank you

Ii called and was told about a place I had done business with in 2008. No other communication from them at all. I was told if I didn't pay this amount that they would go after my checking accounts and any business that I had joint accounts.
Do I believe it????

Nope you don't believe it.  They cannot legally sue you in any state and that is what they would have to do to go after anything.

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.
