I was told to call this number because I have been served a to court but they won’t answer

Huh?  You have been

Quote:

served a to court

?  What does that mean?  Are you saying that you were served in a lawsuit?  Then why would you need to call this number?  You should be calling an attorney and giving him the paperwork so that he can file an answer to the complaint.

Message stating there was a lawsuit to be served on an individual. Advised to call number and give them the claim number he provided.

I got a similar call. It’s a scam.

Message state that a claim has been filed. That they have obtained multiple resident locations. When I called the number given, the caller asked for my d.o.b and last 4 of my social. I asked for the name of the business and where they are located.  She said she was not authorized to give me that information. I said well I'm not giving you my information.

Micheal watts calls to say there is claim against me but will not provide information about what he talking about all the number back with reference number they said my so called case is red flag ok red flag and what case ? He would not provide information they have been calling for four  five years now it stop three years ago now they back at it again I told them I will called them police on them

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 (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.  If and when you get that letter 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.

Got the same call stating they were looking for my brother and they were coming to my house to locate him lol. I asked them to provide me with the info pertaining to thecase and they hung up.

They have called me multiple times looking for my husband and called his ex wife too. They say that there is a pending case against him in our county and that this is a legal notification by telephone. He needs to call 855-208-8850 to update any information. When I call that number they won't tell me anything.

They think I don’t know they are scamming

I wish I knew where there office is located
