855-216-9796

I would've called the local cops!

Airhorn works wonders. Hit that number with it a couple of times and they will stop calling.

It's not legal to "officially notify" someone via phone - has to be MAILED!  I hope you made him send a debt validation letter proving that you owe the alleged debt, and that he's licensed and legally entitled to collect in your state...

I just had the same thing happen to me! Total scam! They somehow got an old address of mine and saying that cops are on their way. They even called my uncle's house phone. I haven't talked to that guy in years. They even texted me saying, we are servicing (note* not serving!) you court papers. cops are on their way to your old house.

The nerve of these people! They've been at it all week.

They said that they were from the District Attorney's Office... really? The DA could pull up my info in a snap. I am a registered, licensed tax-payer.

REPORT the phone number and name of the person claiming to serve you along with the number he wants you to call to your ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. I did and they verified they are a SCAM.

I keep getting calls like this too. They ask for me and then claim that someone will be out to deliver some legal documents the next day... but they need an address. Then they want me to call a different number and verify the last 4 of my SSN. They will not say what it is regarding, and they hang up when I refuse to verify my social. Total scam!!!

Thes idiots. Are annoying. And they don't want to miss with a navy brat screw

Did anyone get a phone call from 877-780-4515? Someone stating that they are going to serve us papers today (or tomorrow) and that we can put a stop order on it? Sounds very fake and a scam like most of you who posted here! I wish the law enforcements or FBI will catch them and show their ugly faces on TV before throwing them in the slammer! FAKE DEBT COLLECTORS! BURN IN HELL!

CALL #1

Recd call on my cell from an unknown #.
Sounded like he was reading a script.
Stated his name was Ron or John  Scott & stated that this was to inform me that I would receive legal documents filed under my name & ss#.   Placed on his schedule to sign for certified notice for intent to appear in court . He will be serving me on ... <he then pauses to figure out what day to say>  Monday. If I have any questions on this legal matter, I can call the claimants office @ 844-348-7361  - Case #xxxxx ... you have been notified of receiving these legal documents &
<says this dramtically>  "my first name" - I will see you on Monday!!!

lol ...if this was legit -
1)  they wouldnt be calling - you would be sent a certified letter
(ex: when the IRS wants $- they dont call & let you know - they just send a certified letter)
2)  they would leave the name of the company or law firm.
3) the # would be a legit #. I searched this # & it came up no record for the #

Its a scare tactic to try & get you to give them $
Could be a total fake claim or a zombie debt ...you prob dont even owe this debt they are trying to scare you into paying.
Anyway - dont fall for it !!!
Dont call them back - as this will start the "collection" period.
They will continue to harass you - then sell the info to someone else ... its a never ending cycle,

Unfortunately with an unknown # - you cant block the call ... this completely sux..

CALL #2:

Just received 2nd call on my cell ... this morning, again from an unknown #
Sounded like his name is John Scott
Said he was "Calling again - active notice of service legal documents.
Be at my residence on Monday between 10 & 3, to make sure that I am there with a valid state ID to sign for them.
Leaves the same call back # & claim # ... BUT NO COMPANY NAME or what he is trying to collect ?!?!
uses my name ... I'll see you on Monday ... (same ending as yesterday)...

1) - i dont use a residence address - I have a PO Box - so how is he going to be at a Post Office ???
2)  why would he warn you that he will be there - if legit - they would just show up to catch you.
3) wouldnt be calling from an unknown #

Read this is the same as scams on other #'s ...

I received a call from Gina Davis indicating she had an order to complete regarding charges for distribution of fraudulant text associated with social security number [provided last four of social] and that she would be serving these documents to me at my home address [provided address] today and if service could not be made they would contact my employer and inform them that service would take place at their premises.  She said if I had any questions or wanted to set an alternate service location to contact the plaintiff's attorney at (855)201-2986.  I work at an attorney's office so I brought this to the attention of an attorney in our office.  He called the number, and identified himself as my attorney.  The gentleman was very rude and said he could not discuss it with him without a letter of recommendation and that when I receive the papers I could bring them to the attorney to review.  When he said I was present and would like to ask what it was regarding he still refused to give any information and again said to wait for the papers to be served.  My attorney asked him if he was familiar with the fair debt practices act and the gentleman said it was not regarding a debt.  I later called him back asking if he could please let me know what it was all about and he again refused because he says I have counsel, although he previously refused to tell my attorney any information because there was no letter of representation.  The man was very rude and hung up on me.  I called back and again asked to please be provided any information about the issue, he said he could give me information but was choosing not to and again hung up on me.  I called back and he said it was policy to not discuss the matter if I am represented by counsel.  I asked if their company (ARA) was the one suing me or someone else and he said it was them.  I asked if he could please at least tell me what court it was being filed in.  After a very exasperated sigh and some computer typing, he indicated it was being filed in [county I lived in 8 years ago] through the office of [provided the name of prosecuting attorney for that office].  I then called that prosecuting attorney's office and let them know about the call and asked if they had any cases with my name, which they did not and suggested that perhaps it was a civil case.  I then called the circuit clerk's office and again told them the situation and asked if anything had been filed with my name and they had nothing.  After bringing this information back to my attorney he said it is very likely a scam and to inform the Attorney General's office.  I called and gave the Attorney General's office all of the information and was again told that it was very likely a scam.  I suppose we will see if I have anything served to me in the next few days...

i got the same exact call phone message in regards to my spouse but they called my # not hers that raised a red flag instantly.First to show at mt spouses residents and place of employment, so if you want ill let you know what happens, and hopefully you might do us the same favor.
