866-387-3188

I have just received a call from a company and when I asked who it was they would not tell me. Just said that I had charges pressed against me and that they had just served me. Also, when I said I had NO idea what this was over he told me to call this number and give a claim number. He would not even tell me the name of that company.

You can't be "served" via phone or voicemail - a court process server would "serve" you papers (or you'd receive via certified mail).  Since he would not tell you the name of the company or what it's about, you can be sure it's a scammer.  

Next time he calls, tell him since he won't send the legally mandated debt validation letter proving you owe a debt to his company (which he won't identify), you're reporting him to the FTC and your state's Attorney General (and do so).  Also tell him that you are recording all calls he makes to you (even if you're not).  Read up on the FDCPA and know your rights as a consumer.

so you know what that means...it means this fool who called you is scamming you and trying to use scare tactics on you into sending him money the law says he has to send you paper work and full ID himself and the company..if he calls you again you say the FDCPA says you must answer my questions and he will give you some stupid excuse that he doesnt have to answer the questions then you laugh really loud and he will curse you out and hang up and probably not call you again because now your a waste of his time..have fun play with the IDIOT

Someon from this number is calling my job and telling my boss they are trying to serve me papers for some kind of files that have been charged aaginst me but will not tell me the charges and only refer me back to this number and a reference number. What do I do

They're trying to scam you - see posts above.

Someone keeps calling my wife saying that she has gotten herself into a bunch of trouble, she references a file number but will not release any more info. This happen last summer, they explained she will need to western union money to them or they will be at her work place to arrest her, my wife lost her job over this, I contacted the States Attorney Office last summer. Now they are calling my brother and parents stating the same thing, basically they seem to be going thru the phone book calling every one with the same last name. This has gone beyond scamming this is harassment, plus lost wages due to loss of a job, if this [***] calls you turn her in!!!

I just received a phone call at work from 513-587-4416 saying, Do you know that I will be coming to your place to serve you with papers for the charges that have been filed against me, and if I call the number 1-866-387-3188 and give them a reference number they cab tell me what it is about. They have call several times now and always to my job. Asking how much longer I am going to be at work and if they don't hear back that I have contacted the other number then they are going to come with a constable to my job or my home. The man is very nasty mean and threating me. I will be placing a phone harassment charges if they call me again. I have no idea what it is they want but if its money they need to go somewhere else because I don't have any!!!!!!!!!!!

they have called my ex brother in law
stop calling
