855-799-5287

This is a scammer called in private and left a phone number of 855-799-5287

Do you mean a scammer named "In Private" or do you mean a scammer took you away from the public "in private"?  Isn't a cell phone private or are you answering a public phone where everyone can hear?
Don't scammers usually have a scam or did this one just say they were a scammer and ask you to call that number to get scammed?

Left the following voicemail.  I'm location specialist David Adams calling you ________ time in reference to a pending client I have contacted you trying to get your name off the filing that the soon to be public record I'll be over to your home and job withing the hour to get your signature to help move the filing a long you have the legal right to contact the filing party before I arrive "there" number is 855-799-5287 if I don't hear from the filing party right away I will be seeing you.

Same experience as listed. "This is a location specialist  calling you for the final time in reference to a pending claim.....get your name off the public record....i will be at your home or job within the hour...." Not sure what the scam is but I won't be calling back that 800 number.

Same as the others listed. He sounds pretty real but this is a clear scam call. Beware.

Same. Scary sounding guy, “Location Specalist Jackson” but total BS. Frustrating is that you can’t block ‘No Caller ID’.

Same here, location specialist Jack Jones but he states its a pending claim and he is going to come after my house and job payroll and that my name and social will be publicly displayed with my legal documents etc... Mine came from no called ID and the voicemail said unknown.

This number has called several people about me. I’m not sure how they got information. Especially to some people I’m only acquainted with. It needs to stop

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 so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills. They often call people that have never even been a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

The fake process server/location finder extortion SCAM usually consists of the following:

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 then they will 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 must be served within a certain amount of time. Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is 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.

You can also file a complaint with the FTC who will then direct you to the CFPB.  Or you can simply go to the the FTC website and file a complaint which will again be redirected to the CFPB.  No matter what you are going to end up reporting the complaint to the CFPB so why not go there first and forget about the FTC?  I mean seriously, you are not actually going to report anything about debt collection directly to the FTC but hey, knock yourself out!  https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/assistant

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.
