Wants to schedule for certified mail to be delivered to my address for someone that has not lived here for 20 years.

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 (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/

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

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

Anonymous caller. Left a message stating looking someone?? Trying to deliver certified mail (smh), vague references, leaves cb # and reference#. I never called back, I knew it was fraud & knew they were impersonating a company I was very familiar with. I reported it as well.  Exactly what BigA stated.

Unknown Caller, said it was RDS Same Day Delivery.  Trying to get ahold of my sister for a delivery.  They used her maiden name and called her a him.  Ignored the call.

Called my cell # stating I was their contact person for my wife. Voicemail stated his name was Louis with Rapid Delivery Services. Said she had to call using a specific reference #. Complete Scam.

They repeatedly called my Mother and gave a reference number in Voicemail then called all her nieces looking for her. I called and yelled and a Rick screamed at me and told me I was being rude then I called him a scammer and he told me “I’m not a scammer. Maybe you’re a scammer” then hung up on me.

In addition to what I previously posted

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.

Debt collector stating that I owed a past due for a credit card. I just called today since the email they advised would come hasn't. A different person answered and said it was a wrong number.

I just received a call saying for my mom to call this number I didn’t tell them the person in question was my mom but everything about it seemed fake. He said all he could tell me was the “letter” was from a place called WAC Group…I looked that up and it’s not real; I asked if it’s just a letter why can’t they put it in her mailbox, he said it’s too full it won’t fit…my mom’s mailbox door is broken…so trust me the box is empty. Everyone above confirmed my suspicions so thank you!

Called from a restricted number left a message saying that I needed to call them about a failed certified mail attempt. I knew it was a scam because as soon as I ignored the call, my son's phone rang. This number was also restricted. I looked up the number the guy left on the message and low and behold it brought me here.

Exactly as Big A described.
If I didn’t provide them with requested information “the case” would proceed.
I said, “Guess the case will proceed then because I’m not giving you (excrement.)
They hung up on me.
Loudly.
