855-679-2141

They claimed in the voicemail that my mother had a court ordered appearance, and she guaranteed does not nor does she even have any outstanding debts that aren’t being paid. When I called asking why in the hell they were contacting me with such a scam and that I was reporting their phone number, the first woman hung up on me and the second one claimed they were a law office. There’s no reason why they should’ve been calling my phone for my mother in the first place.

Left voicemail informing we had been notified of future legal action if we didn’t return a call. Rep at company blamed the voice mail on process server. Refused to take additional calls and would not answer following calls. The person in question has been deceased for 15 years.

Received a call from +13212375354 asking if I was home and informing me that a court Ordered document had been attempted service twice without success, and that I had to call another number of 855-679-2141 and provided a case number.  The number the called from is from the Miami, FL area.  When I asked which company she worked for she hung up the call.

They called me with the same scam.

Left a message saying the same thing others have reported.

Court service of papers to be signed.

Called regarding service of legal documents.

I just had the same thing happen to me and they were looking for my ex-husband stating my phone number is associated with him. The business name they gave was Montgomery & Associates.

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 often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off of the internet.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

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 they 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 have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually 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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

They called and said that my husband has papers that he needs to sign. When I said that it wasn't true, he said how do you know? I let him know I was his wife and handled all of the paperwork of that nature. They gave me a phone number to call but hung up on me when I continued to press for a company name. They would not identify themselves
