855-441-4244

I got a call from this number saying that there was a complaint about me.  Who are these people??

Total scam.  Usually originating in India.  Or Pakistan.

Saying they have complaint, threatening & ominous.

received this phone call@ 05:00 a.m. saying there was a complaint about me and it required my emidiate attention .same phone call as CONFUSED....

I got the same call......

Exact same phone call hear, only they called both my phone and my sister-in-law's looking for me.

same, left message about complaint on my phone, for my daughter in law from previous marriage also
about a residence in another town.  What a looser , thinking i am going to call him about someone elses business!

My father received a call from this number looking for my daughter they said they have something they cannot mail to her and need her to pick it up.  Does not sound right to me or my daughter.

A woman called from a restricted number and asked if I was me? She then proceeded to say " I am from legal claims filing and would like to know if you will be home to receive documents? I told the woman I didn't know what it was regarding; played dumb basically ;she gave me a phone number to call and a file number. I call the number, give the file number, the woman who answered the phone asks me to verify the last four of my social when I wouldn't comply she turned into Godzilla!!!! Told me I had to verify my social!!!! They call you to get you in a panic so you will call them back. I'm sure its yet another funk stank debt collection agency violating the FDCPA.

I got the same exact same call as Rashawn. "A woman called from a restricted number and asked if I was me? She then proceeded to say " I am from legal claims filing and would like to know if you will be home to receive documents? I told the woman I didn't know what it was regarding; played dumb basically ;she gave me a phone number to call and a file number. ---Only I never called back the number they gave me. Is there anyway to be sure this is fake I mean it really sounds fishy and I don't think they call you to tell you they will be serving you...this number needs to be reported.

i got calls from them saying they to serve me with legal document sfrom the court at my house, and that they did not find me and talked to a lday, i asked my wife nobody came, they would not give me their adress, said not responding would result in severe consequences, they try to offer me a deal good for today. i think it's all a scam

Left a message (from a blocked number) stated their government has a "Pending Complaint against me, that requires my immediate assistance.." Whatever that is... Not much to go on...

same call same massage called back and it was a anwser machine to leave my name and # and also reference #. normally they use the persons last name when they leave a message they only know my first name when they called back and I was not going to share my last name nor my last 4 of my ssa their not very happy person when they called back and you dont share with them

I have received about five calls from an "unknown" number this week.  On one occasion, I answered; and this woman (who incorrectly said my name) told me she needed information from me.  I then proceeded to ask her who she was and with what company she was associated.  She said she had been hired to give me the message, but she didn't know who hired her and she said she could not give her name.  I hung up.  Today, I had a message left on my phone; and it was the same woman.  She said I had to call today to give her the information she needed and left a phone number for me to call.  The number was 855-441-4244.  She told me a legal complaint had been been received on me, and she needed to get papers to me. I then proceeded to search for the origin of that number, and this page was one of my searches.  It looks like we have all been told the same thing so obviously, it is a scam.                                         March 29, 2014

Don't be fooled by extortion dressed as debt collection. Consumer debts in America, including payday loans, are a *CIVIL* matter, not criminal! The agents' horrid threats are empty and their conduct is illegal. As early as possible it's critical to determine if your collector is domestic or yet another South Asian faker. The former you can sue into submission; the latter tend to be out of reach.

My notes from October 2011 on payday loan and "hot check" collectors are linked below.

A man left a message on my voicemail that I had a complaint pending against me and I would be served papers because I would be sued and I had to respond within 24 hrs. I returned the call when I retrieved my voice mail. I was transferred to this woman who had a Texas drawl of an accent who asked me to verify the last four of my SS#. When I did she informed me that I owed $600 from a bill which I had settled with Chevron since 2005. She claimed the amount was not satisfactory and they were going to sue me for the balance. I told her it was over 9 years ago and that what she was doing was illegal. Obviously she had information on my credit history because she started to name out all my creditors and proceeded to tell me that I was paying them and not paying Chevron. Fortunately the phone dropped the call and she did not call back. I decided to decided to google the phone # and here I am. I am also writing a letter to The Fair Trade Commission.

This is a scammer the address they give is for a ups store in orange ca.... when you inquire about it they cut you off yelling !

My husband receive this same call for me. He sd the woman called like 5x restricted. He then finally answered and ask why was she calling from a block number she sd it was her personal cell phone. He replied thtz not how I do business. She then called back from a local hospital number. Stated she had legal documents she needed to bring to me using my maiden n married name. He sd he was nt at home. She called in left a message on his phone not knowing. who my husband was to me sayin tht I have a legal complaint against me then gave a number to call.I am a debt collect its illegal to share personal info ova a voicemail. They kp it up I will call my lawyer. Messy ppl

I received the same phone call today for my husband. The 1st caller called from a restricted # claiming he had court documents and needed to serve my husband. He was being sued and was coming to our house between 3pm & 3:30pm (of coarse no one is home during those times.... we do work) The guy was very evasive and couldn't answer my questions. Also, he had an address my husband that he had not lived at for 15 years. I called my husband on 3 way and the guy gave us the # 855-441-4244 with a claim# to call to reschedule the time for someone to serve us because we sounded "nice" over the phone. He said we needed to do this so it didn't look like we were avoiding being served to the Judge. We called the # and spoke to a "Mr. Ramirez". I asked him if this was a collection agency and he said he was in "litigations". Well, long story short...he had a good talk off and I can't believe we fell for this scam. I was stupid and setup 2 payments to payoff a debt my husband had. The payments were setup for the next 2 Fridays. When I hung the phone this afternoon, I realized my stupid mistake. I did receive an email from "Mr. Ramirez" with a letter attached. It is a MS word document (not professional at all) with the company WFG & Associates & the address 1439 W Chapman Ave. Ste #160 Orange, CA 92868 which the address does  go to a UPS store in Orange CA. I tried to call the # back several times this afternoon and a recording kept picking up. I have already taking the necessary precautions with my bank and will be canceling my credit card to be on the safe side. I have replied back to "Mr. Ramirez" email twice advising him he misrepresented himself and this was a collections scam. If they processed my credit card, I will be reporting them to the Attorney Generals Office.

I checked my husband's Credit for all 3 credit agencies tonight and the collection account in question was not even listed. It was a credit card from the late 90's he had. Apparently, this company buys old collection debts & threatens people with lawsuits.  Please don't be fooled by WFG like I was. I definitely will not be fooled again.

Had a call asking for my daughter - said had legal papers she had to sign for
