This is MSA Capital,  a collection agency of sorts. 'Called me on my cell looking for Tyrell.

Stating they sent a letter and you have 48 hours people if get the same call or voicemail #REPORT

Strange automated message about a legal matter. Demand to call back within 48 hours.

robo call demanding callback within 48 hours or else they will file a suit

Robo call threatening legal actions. They claim they have sent a letter in the mail, but its a lie.

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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Same as all post MSA Capital here and it's a Scam

MSA Capital recorder message talking about sent me a letter and want a response from me or my attorney within 48 hours or they will sign off on mediation attempts and further legal proceedings. If I want to discuss and/or negotiate (terms) outlined in "previously" mailed proposal? WHAT....? I never got any letter saying that anyone was trying to contact me about any "debit owed"!
Obviously a scam if you haven't gotten anything from anyone via US MAIL, email or some other process of being notified about such a thing. DON'T BOTHER CALLING THEM BACK they only want what ever money they can talk you out of giving to them RIGHT NOW!
That's the whole theme to the call, get you to act as soon as they can because the longer you put off paying them the more trouble they will tell you that you are in and the more it will cost for you to get out of it!

Oh yeah.....almost forgot to give the phone numbers the calls came from.....
BECAUSE I DID call them back the first time they called.....
1+909-903-0354 said to call them back at 866-751-3181
1+682-294-8463 SAME MESSAGE as the previous call.
AND ANOTHER CALL from yet another number
1+713=677-2679

Just FYI, email is not a legal method of debt validation. ONLY documentation sent via US mail.

Three calls within 2 weeks threatening to proceed with debt collection unless call is returned within 48 hours. A robot call and an obvious scam. Now this scammer calls itself Emerson Capital....
