866-220-9381

I got a private blocked call from a lady who called herself  Rayna said she was from LPS and that they were going to serve me with legal papers today and I should have my ID on me or I need to call 1-866-220-9381 to stop the process. I did not call the number. I can't find anything on this, but I assume it is a scam

same here, she is an uneducated want to be private investigator. I wonder how much she gets paid to act illegally I hope a LOT because she is going to need legal assistance for threatening and harrasing complete strangers into giving her private info stupid Aileen Mourns !

I received a call from Paul Dixon at LPS (legal Processor Service).  They wanted me to pay money for some debt and that they couldn't tell me the name.  They were trying to set up a time for me to get served with some documents for check fraud.  This is a scam!!!

she is a total [***] and is now calling my friends I wish I knew how they connected us but I hope she calls me again because she is going to hear me stupid liars! it is a scam wanting to serve papers on what you bunch of idiots? go ahead and call me once more and I AM GOING TO BE SURE YOU REGRET IT USLESS COW!

My mom had called me and told me about this too. She said they were asking for me and that I don't live with my mom. They are starting harassing my mom. So I'm going to file a complaint with police department.

Give your state attorney general a call.  The police can not really do anything about calls like this.

My mom had called me, and they were asking for me for the last couple of days..this has causing harassement. My mom were trying to know who were the business assocaite, they reply a very fast respond and that she couldn't catch it but the number. Please investigate.

Ok and thanks.

Hi Karrie, got the same problem as you have. I've report and file a claim with Department of Justic Attorney General. They reply "Do not give out your bank account or credit card number over the phone to a stranger."
I would strongly recommend for you to report your claims to DOJ. You can do this on line.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, 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.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.  Tell 'em  no scammy debt collector is going to push you around.

I received a call from a lady a LPS that there is a civil case against me from a loan I received over the Internet from 2013, she wouldn't send me any documents since she said they already emailed and mailed them to me. I've never received anything from this company, she was very rude and said I would be served tomorrow at my home or job, not sure what to do.

E-mailed documents are not proof of debt. Read on:

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.

I got the same exact message except she stated she worked for my county, and in order to stop being served to call. I haven't called either, wonder if she realizes I work for the county!? oh she also called my job!

Not sure if the calls are actually coming from this number, the caller ID says Private but the 866-220-9381 is the call back number to stop her from serving me legal papers. She is saying she works for the county I live in and today has called my job, a coworker took her name Chelsey and the 866 number. My coworker said in the background she could hear alot of talking and someone was talking about selling a cruise?! I work for the county and when we answer the phones we greet with the county name, so hopefully she's smart enough to figure out maybe you shouldn't claim to be a county employee to a real county employee.

If you pay your bills you owe you won't have these problems.. I called for mine and it was a loan i took out.. when I read up on the loan they can take you to civil court to get there money back! So save your self.. and save your credit if it matters to you! Pay your bills!!!!

Pay your loans back!

Stop taking loans out they will come for there money back!

I got a call also she claimed to be a county officer.  I turned her in to local police department

I do not answer numbers I do not know, but they just left a voicemail for my husband saying he's going to be served Monday for something in Santa Clara County which he's never had anything to do with. She even stated, when she gave this number, that he "probably wouldn't know whats going on".. um, seriously? They mentioned mine and of old friend of his, names in the voicemail. He and I will both be beyond pissed off if they try to get his work involved in this scam!
