Apparently there a lawyer , I got a call as well, waiting on a call back today !

What is the name of this law firm/lawyer?

Any update on this? I got a call from this number that we were being served and for us to call another number to get more information about it

Don't bother calling ---- REAL process servers do NOT warn you.

I was getting served and they’re were  going to my house and my place of work and should call them

I was contacted by an agent who was looking for my husbands estranged son. They said they had a court summons for him and that they needed him to pick up some paperwork.  They said “he has you listed as a reference” which is hard to believe, as I have not spoken to the person they are looking for in over 5 years. Also, this is a new cell phone number that they contacted me on.

So I got a call as most of you. Saying claim being filed also gave a lot of information about me which is accurate. I was curious and called back. I believe they are debt collectors and not a law firm no address only online. Person who helped me was actually very nice. This was accurate as I owed money to CashnetUsa Years ago and it went to collections years ago (I didn’t pay) So they possibly buy off the debt and then call to get it back. Amount I owed was accurate. I asked for a invoice they emailed it to me. So I paid them the amount that I had been owing. They are not a scam. If you owe money they can invoice you the bill. Mine happen to be accurate. But I mean I wouldn’t give my card I’d verify if debt is accurate. Which they allow you to do or they can call the party for you to see if it is accurate. Or those of you getting calls could be them trying to collect a debt from someone who had your phone number in past. Hope it helps.

Folks, everything "Gisel" said is an out and out lie.  Every word of that post is an out and out lie,  Every single word.

Let's start with what the law actually says:

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/

Called stating they were bringing marshals to my place of employment freezing bank account . One thing they have to be licensed to practice in my state . Recieved nothing via mail . A scare tactic.

Message stating they were a processing agent with the county I lived in. Same as the above..blah, blah, blah...

I got a call today from them. But before they called me, they call a list of people I know. I of them my daughter and left a message on her phone that they were looking for me to service me paper . They said they were coming to her house, and that I better be there with my drive license . first of all  she live over 2 hour a way from. Second she in the military and suffer from PTSD. They also left the last four of my Social Security number. Than they called my mom and did the same. Then my son in-law. I am so upset right now because I have a Michigan drive license with my right address on. Why can they call people and give them my personal information. When am not hard to find. This has cause me stress as well as my family. I'm just wondering if there's something I can do about the harassment.

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.

The fake process server/location finder 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.

Up to their same old tricks.  Some people have no decency to work for crooks like this!

Did anyone ever come over or did you get a lawsuit?  I had the same call.

Glad I read this to realize these people are absolute scumbags and shady!
I had some clown named "Jarrod Knight" leave me a voicemail about a "pending civil matter" that he was "calling to get a statement from me or my lawyer" and if I didn't then he "had no choice but to forward it to processing".   This dude did NOT use his business name or anything either.
Screw these people! It's shady they lie and try these scare tactics to try to get you to contact them. I NEVER call these people and only contact people from my credit report IF something shows up and only after verifying I owe anything... I mean, come on, if you didn't pay a bill chances are you do know you didn't. I HAVE had stuff show up that I KNOW was not me. A credit card for example I NEVER had, as I have only ever had ONE credit card!  I requested verification through credit karma and it took a while but it disappeared!  Makes me wonder HOW it got there in the first place 🤔...
Thank you to all the public justice warriors who post on here to help the little guy know their rights!! You all should be commended!

He called saying he was from LSM and left a message called the 1800 number back he asked my name and then asked to verify the last 4 of my social and I said I cannot confirm or deny sorry. The he said I’ll contact the local sheriffs office and let them know and hung up on me. He was a [***] and rude

Received a call from “ Officer Sanders” stating he was coming to home, last place of employment etc. I am on disability, last place was in 2005. Left a four digit case number. I could hear voices in the background, saying the same thing he had just told me.

I did *67 and called the number that came up on my ID-9186122910. They answered LSM and associates, left the number referenced above as a call back numbers. “Officer Sanders” at least had an American accent. I could hear others in the background, relaying the same message he was giving me during my call.

Called today, no identifying name etc. Stated this was legal notification of claim against my name and SS. Also, case number was two letters, four digits. Stated they were filing an affidavit. Suspect LSM but didn’t identify .
