866-315-0935

Calling all my family and myself saying there's been a complaint filed against me. They won't say what the complaint is.

I received a call from this number. They asked if and when I would be home to deliver league documents regarding a civil complaint to be filed in Denton County. I explained to the caller that I will not let a stranger know when I will and will not be home, and that they are not welcome on my property. I instructed the caller to have me served or to send the documents via certified mail. The caller hung up and proceeded to leave voicemails with my ex wife from over 10 years ago, my mother and my father.  I called the company back( Process services) and instructed the person on the other end that he was being recorded and that I am demanding that they do not contact myself or any other person regarding me. If there is a league mater the need to properly have me served or notified via certified mail. The man told me they already did( not true) and that he would note my file. Legitimate league matters are not handled in this manor. I have no outstanding debts, my credit is monitored and there is no reason for anyone to conduct business in this way unless they are trying to scam someone.

Just got a call from this number.  Said I had a civil suit on me and wanted to deliver legal paperwork.  Wont tell me what its about.  But number showed up as Molina Healthcare... She said well we work next to their building.  Supposed to call a number back.  Im not.  If this is truly legal paperwork, they will find me.

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.

This number called my brother and left a message for me saying that there was a legal case pending against me threatening legal action and left a case # and a number to call, 866-315-0935.  They also stated that a decision would be made by Tuesday whether I contacted them or not.  I was immediately suspicious of it being a scam so I looked online and found this site confirming my suspicions.

As others have said, they called saying there was a legal case being filed against me and to call 866-315-0935.

Same as everyone else! Avery Law Firm???

So this number didn't call me, but a local number that I have obviously received scam/spam calls from in the past so I had it blocked. I noticed today I had a few voicemails from blocked calls and went though them. This voicemail was on 2/17/22 stating the same thing everyone else is saying, that a legal complaint has been made against me and is scheduled to be filed. They listed my address and said I must be available to sign for legal documents or a legal decision will be made against me without my consent. They referenced a case # and then this 866 phone number to call them back. Funny thing is there was also a blocked voicemail from this number back on 11/30/21, but the message cuts off after about 10 seconds so I don't know what they were trying to say, but it starts off the same. Shortly after that November voicemail (either same day or a day or 2 later) my parents got a call from someone saying they were trying to reach me about a debt I was being sued for. I'm pretty sure these are all connected and it's a total scam. I don't have any debts or reason for any legal complaints, and they have my address - but have never shown up or mailed me anything?! The lady ends this voicemail saying I have been notified...as if that counts as you have been served.

Same as those above. Trying to collect on a debt that last service was in 2014. In Texas there is a statute of limitations on most commercial debt of 4 years from last payment. They couldn't/wouldn't provide verification (I requested copy of original Loan Origination Document and never received it) that anything was owed. Gave them runaround to get more information. They offered discounting supposed debt which again they wouldn't provide verification (Discovery) to 35% of original. I had them send my public email contract and found it to be a collection company out of California (Glasssell and Associates). The person sending the "Official" settlement offer sent it from an email with the domain name @legalaidpro.com !

They are allowed to attempt to collect the debt for eternity.  What the Statute of Limitations tells them is how much time they have to sue you.  Once that passes they cannot legally file a lawsuit or threaten to file one.  Debt Validation must be requested in writing per Federal Law which would be the controlling debt collection law in Texas.  I also cannot find anything on that company so I don't know how you came up with the idea that they are in California.

The domain "legalaidpro.com" was registered with GoDaddy last February, updated last month and is due to expire in February 2025.  Contact information is hidden behind a privacy proxy.  Unusual for a scam outfit to register a domain for more than a year, but they might have caught a deal on GoDaddy (well know as a haven for registering scam domains).

Google search for "Glassell and Associates" turns up this page, the page for 888-845-1350 and several entries for books on books.google.com that reference reprints of old natural gas journals from the 1920's.  (Apparently it was the name of a company dealing with natural gas at that time).

On the other 800notes page, an address is given, but it is pointed out that this is a "virtual office" (often used by scammers to give the illusion of legitimacy).

I did not see that other number thread.  The legalaidpro.com is a parked website as well.

"Doc" did mention that they had the (supposed) debt collector send something to an email address that "Doc" gave them.  It is possible that whatever they sent listed an address in California.  (If so, it would have been nice if it had been posted here.)
