866-217-8269

Phone call shows up as unknown. Voicemail have the 866-217-8269 as a call back. I called and company was CSG

strange call from unknown source who claims they're from CSG.  Who are they?

They called off a local number but gave me this 866 number to call back, said I was going to jail and being served. Lies and scam.

Correct - They are LIARS - and probably spoofed the local number.  REPORT - www.consumerfinance.gov & your state attorney general.  Threatening jail/arrest is a violation of the FDCPA.

Got a call from this number and a person name Samantha claiming to be a lawyer. She said if I don’t contact her in 24 hours they will serve me papers to my home and job lol. I’m an over the road truck driver and I live in my truck. Lol. They won’t never call to serve papers, it will be served by police or someone from the sheriff department without a call. They need to stop with the scams.

Voicemail left they have legal document
Don’t know who they are

I'm giving you a second call following up in regards to documentation I received in my office that is attached to your name and social security. As I stated in the previous message I do have a request for an official come out and serve you summons to appear in court regarding a complaint for my call today is to make sure that you did receive the information properly regarding your claim. Since I have not heard from you or your attorney. I'm calling to set up your service date for Wednesday February 10 2021. If you have any questions concerning this matter you would need to give me a call back at 866-217-8269. Try calling back within the next 24 hours so I can stop you from being served. Your file number is 20122418

Received call from 470-344-3657

Voicemail message:
Hello.  This message is for xxxxxxx. My name is Monica. This is our final call about claim number 20121945.  Again, 20121945.  You now have until the end of the day to return my call.  We've already verified your income and plan to move forward in our process.  If I don't hear from you by the end of the day, we will be moving forward.  You can reach our office at 866-217-8269.  Thank you, and have a nice day.

First point...FDCPA regulations forbid leaving this sort of message.  A business can ONLY leave a message including a number to call back on, business hours, and pretty much nothing else.  Anything above that is able to be considered harassment and threats.

Second...jokes on them.  I've been out of work since last March.  Superb "income verification" skills.

Third...amusing how this is the final call I have received from "Monica" when I got a call from "Lisa" last week, and it was the EXCACT same voice.  Literally.   I played the two messages back to back...same woman.

They called my number for a Julie.  I am not Julie but basically said the same thing as above but call was a Tyler. He didn't say from the company.

Received a TEXT MESSAGE saying “We have an important matter in our office that directly concerns you. This is our second attempt to reach you. Please contact us at 866 217 8269 and refer to file number xxxxxx”

What’s funny is I see other people also putting their “file numbers” and they only change one number and they claim to have your info but once an actual lawyer calls them they hang up the phone and act all scared. Stupid scammers now in days. Be careful. Don’t verify any info with them.

We have an important matter in our office that directly concerns you. This is our second attempt to reach you.  Please contact us at 866 217 8269 and refer to file #20143182

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 (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.
