Called relative and says gonna come to house at 3:00pm and have ID ready...and the call is about another relative

Said they were coming to my home or work for me to sign something

Just got same message. Calling about another relative who does not reside st this number saying a delivery on Tues and he needs to sign for it. Days it has to do with a complaint. Then recurved a second call from another person saying complaint filed against same relative. Guy starts to leave his call back, but after area code, it switches to music.

I got called yesterday about my ex boyfriend but the only thing is that they actually came out with a pass loan he still owes am not sure if is a fraud anybody know anything about this??

Anyone who makes a threat, such as saying they are coming to serve you something , is an Extortion Scammer. Debt Collectors who have a "target" victim will also call anyone associated with their target and try phishing info to make their scam more realistic when they call their victim.

Ok thank you so much!

Your welcome!

On 12/26/18, I received a call from 843 203 0121, stating they needed to serve papers for my child. When I mentioned she does not live with me they said they would come by house between 3-5 pm, on that same day and a signature was required, I said my mom would be home and she would sign for papers and then the male proceeded to tell me he would call back with claim information number (to be left on voice mail) and a contact number, which is this toll free number. The message mentions going to my place of employment "as mother" is also named in claim. Well, I called the number and left VM with claim number and now I am becoming very suspicious after doing more in-depth research on these phone numbers . And of course, no one ever came to the house.

Process server DO NOT  all first!  Report at www.consumerfinance.gov .

No one will ever come to the house.  Your mother is not responsible for another person's debt unless she co-signed.  This is the fake process server extortion scam.

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 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 department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

The fake process server extortion attempt 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 (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “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 letter 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.

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.

Thank you Mike Huntleton. This number has called my husband numerous times in the past few days and he's been freaking out about what it's for and he went to the county where he works and the county where we live and found out he has no felonies no misdemeanors no priors no tickets no nothing there's been nothing for the IRS nothing from anywhere else that we could think of nothing on this credit report those he we have we have already taken care of so he was just as stumped as I am but the message you have left has helped me and he is transferring all this information to his work so those people can stop calling him at work also so again thank you Mike. 1/4/2019
