I received a call and told me that he couldn't give me his name or the co. he worked for.  He gave me a case # and told me to call that no.  I called that no. and they wouldn't give me their name or co. name

They called my place of employment and spoke with management and also called my former sister-in-law telling her if I did not call them that they would come after her and arrest her.  They advised my management that I have a Complaint filed against me and would be serving me.  They left the toll free number to call as a last resort to remedy.  It is a full on scam.  They would not provide information, nor an address for themselves nor proof of a debt via regular postal mail to me.  But they had all of my personal information.  I have reported them to the FCC, FTC and Attorney General's Office.  Also, since my employment is customer service based, all calls are recorded.  So they believe their front phone call to intimidate people into calling the toll free number to stop the harassment works.  It does for some people but if you know you do not owe a debt to skanks like these, please do not provide any information nor fold into their scare tactics.  The reason they continue is because their tactics have worked for them to collect funds that people did not owe to begin with.  I am thankful our calls are recorded because it serves as proof to the FTC, FCC and Attorney General's office of the first initial harassment call in which the toll free number people will tell you they did not call.  They will state they do not make outgoing phone calls...because they have their lowly bullies make those calls first to scare.  They will be having to answer for their fraudulent ways soon enough and I cannot be more thrilled!  Also, they will use a contact number only for a short time before they get yet another as I am sure they think this removes them from getting caught.  Little do they know that they are being watching closely and it's only a matter of time before they get pounced on.   It's unfortunate for those that work in that capacity that they cannot get a job that is fairly rewarding.  Must have chips on their shoulders and love to bully.

I had a lady calling me saying there going to serve me and like you said they have no info. No addresses just company names and they keep calling my ex for 20 yes ago telling her there going to serve me papers there at her house.  Lol lowlife people

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).

Calling me at my job and threating to have me arrested for check fraud.  Claims I borrowed money from Integrity Payday loans.  I have never gotten a loan from them.  They are harassing me at work.

A lady left a message from an unknown number. The voice said I needed to return a call to 18557072366. She left a file # with a threatening message that I owe some payday loan company and this phone call was notice that I had been served and that I would be getting these papers served at home or on my job.

An actual Process Server is not going to have any conversation with you about any debt you owe, nor will they demand payment from you. If something like this happens, immediately call local law enforcement and make a full report including as much descriptive information as you can give them of the person impersonating a court officer.
