Did they say that you were going to be taken to court for a pay day loan?

Debt collection extortion scam.  Nothing to be worried about, they are certainly not going to tell you where they are (which they would have to do to sue you) so that you could sue them back.

Criminals are masquerading as debt collectors in an attempt to extort money from people by scaring them into believing that:
a.       You are going to be sued and it will cost you lots of money when they allegedly “win” their case.
b.      That they are about to file criminal charges or that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, even though debt is civil not criminal, there are no criminal charges, and debtor’s prison was outlawed over 200 years ago.
c.       That they will take away your driver’s license.
d.      That will garnish your wages without actually suing you, going to court, or even winning a case and obtaining a judgement followed by a judge’s consent to the garnishment.  They also claim that your wages will be garnished in amounts far above all legal limits which are described by the Dept. of Labor here:  https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs30.pdf

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 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 department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

They will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, “Law Office” or claim that they are a “Lawyer or Paralegal” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws, even though they do have to follow those laws.  They also tell you that if you fail to call them back you are "waiving your right to council" or that “the case will proceed without you” which is pretty much nothing but hogwash.  They tell you that they need a “statement” from you regarding the complaint and if you don’t call back they “wish you good luck as things unfold”. They use the phrase “consider yourself notified/served” or “govern yourself accordingly” a lot, something they should do themselves.  They claim they are officers of the court, or that an officer will accompany them, or even that they are sending officers to arrest you.  All hogwash.  They are now also claiming that they will be in an “orange vest” and they tell you to lock up your dogs and guns for “everyone’s” protection.  More hogwash.

The fake process server extortion attempt 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 (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.  If and when you get that letter 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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

Received  call stating legal action against from a management company. I called them a SCAM  and they hung up!! I then blocked access.

Both my fiance and I have received a voicemail from 213-418-9349 stating that "This is a courtesy call to notify you of the delivery scheduled for tomorrow between the hours of 9am and 4pm please contact 855-944-0329 to confirm your availability for delivery as soon as possible thank you...". Neither of us have ordered anything. When I call the 213-418-9349 number back it won't even ring. Our phones actually never rang before these voicemails came through. When I called this number it rang twice and hung up.

Saying I have a delivery and will I be home. No one answered when I called and I know I'm not telling them if I will be home. So sick of these types of calls!

Thats the same message I got !!!

This call is to inform you of your delivery tomorrow between 9 and 4. Please contact us to ensure you will be home.....

same call and said delivery ..I won't call back and blocked them of course they will just send it to another # to call back

I got the same call today. Geeze!

Same exact message just left for me

Got a call from this number. They left a message saying I had a package scheduled for delivery between the hours of 9am & 4pm and to call back to confirm my availability.

I just got the exact same message, about a delivery tomorrow, said to call back 855-944-0329 to confirm my availability. The call came from 346-299-6064. SO ANNOYING!

Me too, delivery tomorrow.... idiots!!
