866-901-0023

I received a call from a Private Number at work stating a judgement has been filed against me, they had my full name.  Gave me a case number, and a number to call.  I searched the internet for the number and this page came up with a very similar number.  Read it was a scam.  Did not call.  What freaked me out is we just purchased land in another state and I was thinking someone has a lean on the land.

Today, same deal.  I called the number and told them I was recording the call, she asked for a case number, said I did not have one.  She then asked if the call was for me or someone else.  I told her someone else, she said she would take my number off their list.  She never asked my name.  I would like to think they removed my number, but seems unlikely.

There is no way this is legitimate in my opinion.  Every business or person I have had dealings with has my cell number.  I rarely give out my work number, even on important documents.

This was a call for my sister-in-law stating there was a civil case against her but they called my cell number as if it were her. They said it was Cook County...I doubt it!!

Complete fraud these same people have called me twice with different case numbers with the same threatening voice mail. They’ve probably obtained your info off the dark web but no one owes them anything. They make it sound official because they know what county you live in. It’s 2022 that information is readily available. The poor dummy the first time couldn’t even pronounce the county correctly. Which is impossible if you actually did business in this area. What a joke. Don’t wasted your time with them.

Since you already know that information is readily available then why would they need to go to the "dark web"?

Judgments don't get "filed".  There must be a court case first and someone has to win to get a judgement.

 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 department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills.  They often call people that have never even been 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 associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.

 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.

Got a message from a blocked number for an urgent civil matter/ delivery of legal documents.  To call them back at 866-901-0023.  This is a scam company.  No need to waste your time unless you're bored and want someone to talk to, just for fun.

The firm suppose to be Adam and Sons Legal Services representing Capital One.Had my info and everything. The lady that called from unknown number said her name was Jade Martin. I was to call 1-866-901-0023 and give a file reference number

Yes, all of the above. Civil Complaint filed against me in Jeffco, then Adams County. Same number. The scammers are getting more and more creative. 866-901-0023 is a total fraudulent group of lowlifes. They try to be very convincing.
