855-883-3526

Threatened with a warrant for my arrest.  Told them to stop calling me

Called me, my husband, and sister all under unavailable. Said her name was Crystal. Then called my elderly grandparents at their home. Said I need to be available and my residence or place of employment with state ID. If you’re a state official you wouldn’t call my phone under unavailable.

Left a message with phone number and case number saying needed state identification  and signature. If they can't get a hold of you the process will start without you.  I tried to call back. S&S Services litigation department.  Wouldn't talk to me because I wasn't the exact person they were looking for.

- Received call today from an “Unknown Number,” which I did not pick up, but the caller/scammer left a message to call 855-883-3526 about serving legal documents.
- I don’t want to provide any other info that may help this scammer if he if she reads this, but trust me they completely messed up...

- again.... day two Received call today from an “Unknown Number,” which I did not pick up, but the caller/scammer left a message to call 855-883-3526 about serving legal documents.
- I don’t want to provide any other info that may help this scammer if he if she reads this, but trust me they completely messed up...

Same as the others, Got a phone call about serving papers, etc. got nasty quickly!. Got the number to call, S&S services answered, sounded like the same guy that was trying the same thing last year, hung up

Got a message that didn’t even say my name remotely right saying I needed to be a t my residence and make myself available. If I wasn’t there legal action would go on without me.

So what happened? I've been getting calls since yesterday. They're also contacting each of my parents, my sister, brother, sister in law and two uncles. I'm working on my credit right now so I'm aware of all debt I have out there. I spoke to a lady today named Jacqueline Wright and she said she would stop by tomorrow but had an address from several years ago. It's puzzling how they're getting my family members info.

Nothing happened.  This is a well known debt collection/fake process server extortion scam.

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 (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 complaints with the FTC:  https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Thank you so much for this information. I have relatives freaking out at how their personal cell phone numbers were being called. I've had 8 people called multiple times over the past two days and it's ridiculous.

You are welcome.  This is what they are doing:
 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.

They have my info

They called unavailable left a long message about being served for a federal case left case number calling me by a name that is not mine accused me of lieing about not being a person I’m not said I better have my state issued I d ready to be served today at my residence & good luck to me..
