866-207-1967

Not sure what this is, they are calling from an anonomous number and leaves a 866 number.  Does nort Identify who the company is

They are calling from an anonomous number and states it is a legal matter, they then leave a 866-207-1967 number for me to call back, they have tried other means and it is disrupting!

They ID themselves as RH Group.

A lot of complaints against this group.  Typical New York debt scamming bullies.   Mall-rat kitchen-table type.   Many complaints on 800notes .  They use the ID of RH when you try to call them.  Typical deception.

Just received this call.  The call came in Unkown Caller ID.  Stated his name was Matthew Archer and he was a process server and this would be my one and only time to contact them before I was "served" for a summons in court.  He wanted me to write the number down.  Told him I was driving and it wasn't safe to drive, talk on phone, and write.  He asked if I was trying to ignore my one chance.  He called back and left a voice mail message.  He doesn't send emails.  Big Bully!!!!

Neither fax, phone or email is legally acceptable.  Real process servers do not give you a heads up - they're paid to serve a court summons (or other legal documentation) only.

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0258-fake-debt-collectors

Consumers across the country report that they're getting telephone calls from people trying to collect on loans the consumers never received or on loans they did receive but for amounts they do not owe. Others are receiving calls from people seeking to recover on loans consumers received but where the creditors never authorized the callers to collect for them. So what's the story?

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, is warning consumers to be on the alert for scam artists posing as debt collectors. It may be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate debt collector and a fake one. Sometimes a fake collector may even have some of your personal information, like a bank account number. A caller may be a fake debt collector if he:

is seeking payment on a debt for a loan you do not recognize;
refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number;
asks you for personal financial or sensitive information; or
exerts high pressure to try to scare you into paying, such as threatening to have you arrested or to report you to a law enforcement agency.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:
Ask the caller for his name, company, street address, and telephone number. Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." The notice must include the amount of the debt, the name of the creditor you owe, and your rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, do not pay! Paying a fake debt collector will not always make them go away. They may make up another debt to try to get more money from you.

Stop speaking with the caller. If you have the caller's address, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.
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 whom you're dealing with. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft – charging your existing credit cards, opening new credit card, checking, or savings accounts, writing fraudulent checks, or 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. Contact the FTC and your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers. Many states have their own debt collection laws in addition to the federal FDCPA. Your Attorney General's office can help you determine your rights under your state's law.
Also good info at the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau:

Collector.  Using scam tactic of making references to "formal complaints", "summons faxed to her/his office", "pressing legal matter", etc.  Also connected to 229-518-6462.  Company buys stale dated debts and illegal internet payday loans and tries to bully consumers into paying on debts that are time barred and/or not legally collectible.  

thank you for the information.  I figured as much about the "process server" but wanted confirmation. :-)

You're welcome!

I just received the same call from the same guy, with the same scare tactic.  I have no doubt I have an outstanding debt out there, but it certainly hasn't been filed with the State courts like he stated it was, because I used the online public search index for all court cases open under my name/SSN. Nothing current is listed.  He called me at work!

I just received a call today on my home phone and my son called me with the information, I called back and left a message for a Larry Foster. And all the things I have read about this company it sounds like a total scam to me.  The message he left was for my ex-wife's husband which I have no doubt that he has a lot of outstanding debt. But why would they be calling me and how would they get my phone number??? All I know is they better not harass me or my family.

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).

Thank You, but I guess why would they call me since it has to do with my ex's spouse??

Rcvd a call on my cell from an unknown number. Person identified herself as Jayden Striker (sp?) said she was a process server regarding a case concerning my ex from 10 YEARS ago! Wanted me to pass along the message to have him contact the plaintiffs at this 866 number with a reference number for a case. I called and spoke with Eric and asked that he remove my number and place it on a do not call list.

I just received a call from a Paul Lewis at work from this number.  He got my receptionist who told him I was on my line and unable to speak with him, she offered to send him to my voicemail, he refused.  The then started telling her how she had an attitude and how he demanded to speak with me.  She told him that again, I was on the line and he could go to my voicemail.  He then rambled on about how she blew it and now he will have to get the law involved and the summons will be served and he hopes she's happy, etc...he was unbelievably rude and wouldn't give any information other than his phone number. Wouldn't say the name of the company, what it was about, and wouldn't leave me a message.  Oh yeah, he at one point mentioned he worked for the state...my receptionist used to work for the state and started asking him more questions, he completely changed his tune after that and that's when we knew for sure he was lying.  He was a total a**hole!

Just received a call on my cell phone from 866 207-1967 asking to speak to my nephew. He said that my nephew was about to miss a court date and had one chance to rectify the issue. He gave me a case # , but would not give his name. He said many things that you would not say to another person because they are personal - he did not seem to care.

Harrassing call to my job

Let them know the next time they call they are calling on a recorded line and you and your employer are going to have them prosecuted for harassment and attempted extortion. See how fast they hang up.

So far this so called Larry Foster has yet to contact me personally but has called my elderly mother in law who is disabled and has talked to her in a threatening/abrupt manner and has also contacted my disabled wife and talked to her in the same manner plus voicemails. He says it is a legal matter and if I don't call this 866 number he will go to where I live and leave a summons or if I'm not there put my wife in jail. Also he has threatened to go to my place of employment to have me served or arrested. I'm not sure what to do but will someone please do something about this guy? I have contacted other family members about this matter for just in case purposes so they won't get worried. For everyone else, don't believe this guy, he is nothing but a 2-bit SCAMMER.

Read and understand Tamianth's Notes!

First off you can't be arrested for ordinary civil debt.  Being in debt is not a crime.  We do not have debtor's prisons in the US. These people are located in New York state and they aren't going to serve anyone with civil process.  Secondly, no legitimate process server notifies you in advance.  

Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  DIME  until the debt is validated.

Of course they aren't going to do this, so simply block their calls and ignore them.

If they are bothering you,

Report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
