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.

(Here is more info than you really need on process serving:

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam

"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."

"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."

Definitions, if you need 'em:
* A =summons= is an official notice of a lawsuit. It is given to the person being sued (the defendant).
* A =subpoena= is a court order. It requires someone to come to court, go to a deposition, or give documents or evidence.
* =Papers= is a word sometimes used by scammers, as a scare word.  Legal documents can be sent via Certified mail. A courier is not absolutely necessary, although  the Sheriff, Constable, or a Bonded Licensed Process Server might be used.  Such people will have appropriate ID.

Had one also they made it sound professional.an said it was for a payday loan an we could settle it outside  court

John Crawford called about criminal matter

Called me looking for someone named Paula Portis in Coffee county Alabama, which is the area in which I reside, though I'm NOT Mrs. Portis, nor do I think she was the previous owner of my phone number. They had tried to call me before through other spoofed phone numbers that used a local area code before this. I'd blocked the numbers before I realized they were spoofed, but they just kept generating new numbers so block was ineffective. I called the woman back and found out the company was called ERA and they were attempting to settle a debt. I told them that I was not the person they were seeking and threatened that if they called again, I would file a police report. Well, she got pretty miffed and offended by my tone. /cry Funny that a couple of days later I get a call from a blocked number with an official sounding process server type (identified herself as Janet Thompson) rattling on about Mrs. Portis being sued and this would serve as the official notice and plaintiffs and blah blah, and we're going to send someone out to the addresses on file, blah blah. By all means, lady, do so. It's not MY address nor is it MY problem! I don't care if you want this woman's first born...leave me alone! What is so funny is that I know it's scammy/fake/bunk/phising or something bc you can't be "served" this way as someone else here stated. You have to be served a warrant by an official in person. Also, they aren't supposed to discuss matters of debt with someone over the phone unless they can provide identifying information like last four of social. So this is BS. I've blocked this number since it's the one she provided in the voicemail as the "plaintiff". Don't even acknowledge these people. They can learn to do business within the law if they want cooperation.
