844-816-1224

Called and left a message that my delivery has had to be rescheduled and I have to call this number. Complete scam. I don't have any deliveries due. Scary part is that they knew my whole name.

Called and said I was listed as a contact number for my wife. they had her name correct. Said he was from rapid delivery service and had a package that needed delivery scheduled. I inquired about the origination of the package and the guy said all he had listed was that is was from WAC Corp. and it was being held in a warehouse in my home county. (he had the county correct)

I just got the same call but asking for my husband and said they had a package...

Same. Initially said i missed a package and needed to reschedule delivery.  Called the number back to inquire said package.  I was told I had a debt from 2006 and they needed to send court documents ordering payment for $4000 but would settle for $1000.  Further inquiries concerning said debt and learned this company, who NEVER disclosed their name, had my complete address history dating back to childhood!  Very scary! BEWARE! I will definitely report this fraud and the two numbers who contacted me.  One woman set up the contact info so I could acquire the package and gave me another phone number to call and the other disclosed all of the information.  My question is where did they get my complete social security from and my address history.  I call bs!

Call comes thru as "Unknown Caller".  I did not answer.  The message said "Hello this is Michael with RDS Rapid Delivery Services".  Said I had a delivery pending.  Gave phone # 844-816-1224.  I am blocking the number.  They also called my daughter's cell phone with same message for me.  SCAM!

I got the call in the same manner described here above. I do feel that the one element that gives me suspicion is holding off everything as to who they are. They did advise needing to deliver a package to me and will to my job if I don't call back. They knew my name and address. Odd but scary. I do know I am with sprint who got hacked last year-all my personal info went to the web. Perhaps this is connected.

Left message from an unknown number saying they had been “retained and hired to deliver certified documents” in a matter that I had been named in. It said to call to work this matter out to avoid them delivering to my place of employment. Very vague information. Only a phone number was given, no company or contact names.

Stephanie, looks like you got the same caller I got-exact.

It's the very old "we have a summons for you" SCAM.  IF there were real documents, you would NOT be warned.

Yea-whenever I call these back, I always ask if I may record the call as I always want my attorney looped to these kind of concerns. Many times, they disconnect.

Scam, trying to deliver a package from WAC Corp that needs a signature.  The callback number is NOT the same as the real EDS Express Delivery Service.

I just received the same call. Apparently they will come to my place of employment if it don’t call the back to resolve this matter.

Guy named Steve Hernandez called and stated I had a package delivery.  Wanted me to call.  They called my work, then texted my older brother trying to get my address.  Do not know how they obtained his information.

It is called the internet.

 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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

I just kept asking questions for clarification and that made them highly upset so they hung up and I've been calling back ever since. *evil laugh* It's no way a credit card debt from 2014 is an issue, especially one I can't get in a state I never lived in.

Said delivery pending and when called back they told me I have an outstanding debt with a tire center from 2005

Got a call just as you did. Called company and they Said I was contact for my father but listed the address as one he hasn’t lived at in 15 yrs. I asked too many questions so the guy said I was rude and hung up. Lol

I do think-somehow, these resources' get data from the web based on owed accounts/address of some type and try to utilize a call back to deal the amount owed for a smaller amount. I say this because I fell for a trap-almost about 10 years ago. They were correct about a very old amount owed and even removed from my credit report and closed in the 90s. They tried to use old information to advise it can get placed back on my credit report as unpaid although beyond statute of limitations-etc. I only verified the actual call was fake when the so called layer laughed at me, cursed me out and hung up. I guess they go by the 'call 100 people-5 will react and pay..etc..margin of error.  This is sooo bad.

Just talked with them. Said I owed $4000 on a capital one credit card. I’ve never owned a capital one credit card. They knew by date of birth and my last 4 of my social. They said they would take me to court to garnish my wages and were very combative with me. I don’t know how they obtained my info.
