866-577-3571

Caller said they were calling to see if someone was home to sign for legal documents to be delivered within the hour. They could not answer questions about the documents but gave this number to call back to the corporation the papers were coming from. When I hung up, she called back 3 more times to try to convince me that this wasn't a scam.

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, email, or text (postmarked in the case of a letter) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. Unless they have communicated it to you verbally at the beginning of your conversation. It also must contain the “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 communication 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 communication 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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Rcvd. a Voicemail Msg claiming it was an Urgent message for me.  She said she was a "Processing Officer" from Sacramento, CA and that I had "failed to respond to court documents that were sent to you", and that I must contact "PMC Legal" at (866) 577-3571, the legal dept handling the case, and she gave a Case #.  It's important to Note that I have Never EVER received any such "court documents", NOR have I ever been  served by an official server with any such court documents.  I DO believe that this is a SCAM, just as BigA said above.  Also re: Prescott's post above, it's NOT a good idea to confirm whether or not one is at home, as it opens one up to possible theft, etc.

They called from a spoof caller id that read “clark county” and actually had the actual number on the id. They had me call that 866 number with a case number. Spoke to some idiot stating i owed them for a credit account opened in 2002. He said i was gonna get served. Definetely a scam.

They change their call-back number also. I suppose once people get wind of the scam, they move to another number for their "legal department." I first got a message to call 866-293-7175, and then it was 866-577-3571...now both numbers are disconnected. But it was the same caller who left both messages. Does anyone have their most recent number? I love to F with these people!

They said that someone used my CIBC  credit card to buy a France flight ticket and I had to called them to clarify it wasn’t me who did the purchase. Actually I have no business with this bank.

Tues., July 08, 2025; BC, Canada:  left voice mail saying I made an "International purchase" to Air France for $370.00 which was declined/ my card is blocked "for protection of [your] account" / to pls call back on this toll free number.  Didn't even say who they were.  Such B.S.!
