I just had the same experience as most of you,  a phone call from a lady,  who also called my daughter, son in law and husband trying to get in touch with me regarding a legal civil claim matter.  When she got a hold of me she gave me the name of Adams, Daniels and Associates and also a case number.  When I called the number in which she gave,  i gave them the case number then was transferred over to a man,  no i did not get the name,  anyway,  he said that there was a civil case against me regarding a medical bill from over 20 years ago and that the bill had escalated from 900 something to 4884.69 due to interest and legal fees.  I argued with him that there was no way i was paying for a bill that i could not go back and prove whether i or the insurance company that i had at that time had already paid.  He had extremely accurate information from my credit report and read off to me several institutions that i do business with.  He then said that someone would be at my house on Friday at 6pm to serve me papers regarding a court date.  i told him that was fine and i would be looking forward to going to court regarding the matter.  I then got on line and yes this company does have a web sight.  then i also started reading all of the comments regarding the scams they are involved with.  i called the number back and informed them that i reported them to the local attorney general and also the FTC and that i knew they were trying to scam me.  I also had asked for bar numbers of their attorneys and got the answer that they work for attorneys and had no actual attorneys there.  His answer then was well did you see our web sight?  and i said yes,  doesn't matter,  I still knew they were scamming and i still reported them

I’m not sure if this was a real phone call or not but I did get a call regarding a closed bank account that my husband and I had together in 2008-2009. They also called to tell me that I’m husband was going to be served and the 900 bill was going to increase to 3000 due to attorneys fees and my husbands ages would be garnished at 25%. We bought a house In 2015 and I’m wondering how we could have missed this on our credit if it had been charged off and reported in 2011 as he said. I’m actually scared as I am 20 weeks pregnant and I was u see the impression that we had no debt and a judgement could damage our family in the future. I can’t figure if this was a scam phone call or we really owe a debt? How can I find out? And why wouldn’t we have found out about this when we financed our home? We were required to take care of any and all debts to qualify for ge loan? I’ve never once heard about this debt until today. Does anyone have experience with this company as an actual debt collector or lawyers office?

Lady called and asked for someone that does not exist in my office.  She tried to sound tough.  Started out by saying only to call back if we are concerned and ended the call by saying we must call or else and we have been notified.  She should go to jail.

Nothing to be scared of.  This is a debt collection/process server extortion scam.  There is nothing for you to find out, because this is what the law says:

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Please also read the first post as that person did exactly the right thing.

Very good job!  Excellent!   You did everything right!

This is a big scam lol i pissed off guy name Jesse and probably his wife. Tried telling me he knows my social and driver's license number lmao!!!! He actually spewed out some numbers and I couldn't help but laugh. I asked to speak to a manager and he hung up. Serves him right.

Called my place of employment stating they needed to “deliver items to me”. Left a case number for me to refer to when calling. NOT. Pretty sure this is a scam or an over aggressive debt collector trying to use some scare tactics. Would not leave the company name.

I am also experiencing this as I type. Is this a scam or not. Probably going to get some legal aid. Any help?

So what has happened since then?

Please read what BigA posted above - this is a scam!

Why did you copy and past the original post?  Why did you not read any of the other posts?

I suspect they are a site troll (probably registered electing to use an alias) looking for a reaction in typical fashion.  It could be the same one that called you an idiot earlier.  Thankfully that post is gone.  From what I have seen recently there is at least one troll trying to stir up trouble.

similar situation, this guy called from a restricted number (twice in a matter of minutes) and left a message with the above number to call back about something to do with a complaint registered against my husband that was very urgent and had to be taken care of right away, gave a case number etc. seems fishy, not going to call back.

What I have found so far.

I'ts a scam!!! Too bad this is the days and times we live in.

If they REALLY wanted to contact you they could have mailed you the information or come to your house and served you papers. SCAMMERS!

just received a call from danials and asso. they claim that they are calling for chase manhatten credit card,could not give me a lot of info. they did have my old info which was well over 25 years old. they did get me excited and they did claim that I had a civil suit pending. did call chase and had them do a search with my ssi number to make sure that I did not owe any money.A Daniels asso, they claimed that I owed $788.73 dollars. they were taking me to court for $2,512 dollars. they did have mine and my husbands ssi numbers. did call the D.A.'s office and did report them.
they can take me to court or KISS MY ASS.I know what I owe and money is very tight.  they will not get a penny out of me. the person that called Is Named Lance Owens.

Was called as well  with all of the same  details  as stated above. The  only  difference  is  they called  looking  for  my sister's  ex boyfriend  whom I've  not seen/spoken to  in about 23 years! I'm  not afraid, though. I know  this  is  all a SCAM. Thankfully  they called my landline  that  I  rarely  even  answer. At any rate, please  don't  answer  a phone  number  you  don't  recognize  and NEVER  give your  Social  Security  number nor any other  personal  information  out to anyone. If someone  was really  trying  to  collect  money  from you, ask them  to  send the information  to via US Mail  since they should  already  have  your  address  IF it is a legitimate  circumstance. Best wishes  to all.

Threatened to be served papers at my work for unpaid debt, that doesn't exist. Called my employer, my sister and myself. When I called the number provided they told me I had to pay $1500 to stop papers. Company was A. Daniels and associates....when I got irritated with them, I got hung up on.
