855-561-8727

Got a threatening call about a law suit not for me, but my husband and mother. Ray Jackson said I will have a judgment against me, wouldn't tell me who is suing me, where the court was, why me, why I wasn't served, etc. Then said I'll have a bench warrant, attached wages, etc. When I asked how I was involved, he hung up on me.

This is a scam, do not give them your information

Total scam.  If you were the subject of a civil lawsuit, you'd have received a letter form the attorney for the other side.  You'd have a paper trail.  Then if a case was filed against you, you'd have been served with process by someone licensed to serve process in your area.  You woul NOT have heard about a civil case from some scammery scummery debt collector who cold calls you and starts demanding money..  Being in ordinary ciivl debt is NOT a crime and you cannot be arrested for it.  Wage garnishment can only by done by a judge during a civil proceeding.

Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.

Sherman Law, Sherman Legal and Sherman Professional have a long history of debt scamming on 800notes.  Ignore and block any calls with such a CID.  Total scammers.

my # was called but someone else names was said to have a law suite against them. dont answer this stuff .i hope they the law get these scamers

Ray Jackson from the Legal Affairs Division called saying if we didn't pay a $3,000 Texaco / Chevron that there would be bench warrant issue.  My husband works for the police department and told him he'd be easy to find.  That when the guys hung up on him.

got the same call. The caller ID was blocked but they left a message saying there's a judgement against my mom and that they tried serving her at home and at work but no one was there. Googled the number, found this website, called them and it was indeed Sherman Law. Hung up. Didn't want to deal with it.

This person keeps calling me and when I told him that what he was doing is a white collar crime and a civil offense and asked the location of the office and location of the supposed court I was going to he said "I'm not going to argue with a dumb low life who knows nothing" and when I told him I had already filed a police report he said "I can't wait to seize your home " and hung up, texaco and chevron need to take action Immediately.

In general, engaging these guys is pointless.  Spoofed number, calls from outside the US... and local police are not able to do much to help.   If you want to be a scam buster, treat it like a job.  Just getting them to give up their actual physical address and names of the owners and a real phone number is a lot of work.  Do some research on TCPA suits.  But like I say, if you what your privacy back, better to Ignore and block calls from unknown numbers and suspicious Caller ID's.

I got told from Anthony James at Sherman that I owed a bad check from 2008- it's 2016 and they tried sending me notice but last address they had was P. O .Box; in a town I havent lived in over 10 years.  I did tell them I needed some proof that this was legit so I could pay especially since their numbers were coming up as Scam and not registered with BBB.  The man hung up and said he was going to start proceedings.  I called the local PD to get them to find out if a scam or not.  I don't have the money to go to court to solve this, I don't have the money for arrangement the man made either but I sure don't want him to have access to my bank account and this is fraud.  The thing is though, the man knew the phone number is coming up as SCAM. You'd think if this is legit they'd do something about their number or make sure you knew this is legit.

You don't need any money.  What you need is for them to follow the law.  You seem to have no idea of what your rights are, nor are you aware of the Statute of Limitations which would prevent them from even filing a lawsuit.  So, your first job is to read the following and use the links to both learn what you need to know and while there report the criminal activity of this alleged debt collector.  This is an out and out extortion plot.

Criminals masquerading as debt collectors attempt to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished without actually being sued or going to court, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  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 and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another 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).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.

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.

This time they called UNKNOWN saying they were Hamilton County Dispatch and trying to serve me with papers and I needed to call 8555618727 (Sherman Law Offices) with some case #.. she gave me a case # so I said "are you with HC courts" she said yes.. I asked then why isn't that a Ham County Court case #?? she tried to have an excuse meanwhile Im on here reading all of the comments and letting her know how I knew they were a scam... she tried her best to clean it up and have excuses as to how this was valid..but I told her if they have my info... they know how to reach me and good luck

On September 29th. 2016, we received a call telling us that they were looking for our Daughter so that a process server could come to her home and serve her with papers. He said his name was John Shepard and gave us a case number and a number to call them back to get a cease and desist order to stop the proceedings. We called the police and they took a report of what happened.

Today, September 30th. we received another call from this John Shepard telling us that time was running out and for us to get in touch with them immediately to stop this action.
The telephone number given to us on  the 29th was: 855-561-8727 and the number today to call is: 888-732-4298.

We went to an outside pay phone and called the 888 number and it was answered from someone from Sherman Legal Services.
The advice we received from the police was not to answer their call since they were going to charge us with high fees to resolve this problem.

WE BELIVE THIS TO BE A TOTAL SCAM SINCE THERE ARE NO COURT CASES AGAINST ANYONE IN OUR FAMILY.

The phone call was blocked the man gave me 888-732-4298 and a case number 2016-42334 He was looking for my husband and offered to transfer me to the "Sherman Law Firm" and I let him. Mostly because we've never had an account at the bank (One of 3 in our small town) and they swore he opened an account in 2003 used it for a year and left a negative balance, the bank finally closed the account in 2012 and they are just now taking us to court, he offered to send out a police officer with a summons and I replied " That would be great, because then I would know what the hell is going on!"  He got angry when he realized I wasn't going to pay the $1200+ over the phone and told me, "Have fun in court!" So I contacted the local Police Department and the bank in question.
They told me thanks for calling and took all the information down and will be letting everyone in town know what's going on.
Geez, can't people just go and get a job and make their own money?

Total Scam. No lawsuits filed. Threatening me with everything under the sun. But have NO LEGAL right to sue for a debt that was 15 years ago.
