Scam company. Do not speak to them. Do not pay them. They are a debt collection company posing as a fake law firm trying to collect on out of stat debt that they bought for pennies on the dollar. They threaten legal action if you don't pay them. Sue them if they contact you and record everything. Do not pay them anything. They cannot pursue you legally. They are liars and a scam.

Just got a call from them.  They left a message.  Sounded like a law firm, but I was pretty sure they can't serve you by phone.

Their calling everyone in my family for gods sake !! Very annoying

Very rude and calling everyone with my last name (family) in other states posing as an attorney from the state I live in.

Person called/texted me and told me I needed to call this number due to a pending civil complaint scheduled to furloughed against me... LIES. Don't call this number. They are scammers.

This people are scammers so they try to get anything they can be careful don’t even call this number you just waist your time

This number just called my husband and stated that they are trying to put a civil case against him if he does not call them back today. What a scam we do not have any collections. Do not call them back.....

they said i have debt from fingerhut going back to 2007.. i never  had  a finger hut acct.

Called me at work on my office phone stating that I had a civil action pending and I needed to contact them today or they would proceed without my consent.  Tried to give me a phone number and reference number but I hung up on them.  They then called my cell which I blocked so they called my son's cell and gave him the information for me to call.  I have told my family not to answer and block the number.

It is also illegal to give your information to a third party - which says a lot about the caller!  Kim's post (above yours) gives good information on what to do.

Now they called my mother's house with the same message.  I'd love to know how they got her information to call.

Some guy just called saying that some documents were delivered to my home that needed my signature and they returned to them because they couldn't get anyone to sign. Probably because noone was home. He gave me a reference number and a phone number to call. He could tell me what it was about, but something regarding litigation. Good thing I researched the name of the company and the phone number and was sent here. I'm not going to call them.

No one came to your door.

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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

It's not hard to find her information once they determined your relationship to her, which they quite possibly did on social media.
