Claimed to be a process server

Some court summons

Those are issued by mail, not phone calls.

Claiming to be serving court papers, did not identify why. Trying to intimidate and scare who they call with legal actions. Total scam!

Claim to be a Processor for Leon county.

Claimed to be a processor

Called and asked for ex-husband from 20 years ago. Told me i had an hour to get in touch with him so he could contact the legal firm that has had a complaint filed against him. No name given. No other information given. Even after i said i haven't spoken to him in 20 years. Total crap

Claimed to be serving a court summons

Call received from 270-431-5379 by a Jordan Harrison claiming to be a Processer for a court document.  I needed to call 855-917-0291 and provide them with a case # so that I could reschedule my court appearance if needed. Also, that I had missed my first attempt. I said I had never received a phone call and he said it would have been in person - when I asked what address, he gave a partially correct address that I had lived at nearly 15 years ago. I was trying to question why they would have not verified my address before attempting to serve and he ended the call.

Claim to be legal documents

Called and asked for my mother who is 73 and would not give me any information. This is definitly a scam but claimed to be a process server.

YES!! i just received a call from him.. telling me i owe money that they were going to put a lean on my property.. i was like ok.. he sounded soooo   shaddy..
people suck.

I had someone call me too and said that I had an hour to call them back. Process server never call you but I had to look up the number and low and behold they are busy scammers. Don't people realize Karma is a B....

They mention that they have received a Fax document or that some sort of complaint has “come across my desk” 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.

Received a voicemail from a number located in home county(I still have cell number from there, but no longer even live in that state). First 3 digits of the phone number after the area code were the same as the area code, which I found odd. Person that left the voicemail didn't get my name correct (something similar to calling someone Danielle when their name is Daniel), said it was their last attempt at reaching me (BTW, this was their only attempt), and that I would be fined for not contacting them back. Person mushed words together and it took me listening to the voicemail 6 times to get this much info and the supposed case number out of it. After listening in excess of 10 times, I finally gave up on trying to figure out what company this person was supposedly calling from.

I did do a search for open cases concerning me, of which I am aware of 0. Not even a nationwide search could find the case number provided in the voicemail.

Told me to contact law firm, trying to force me to pay for crime, no idea what I did.
