Fake Process Server call trying to gat a call back and gather information.

Every week from different numbers..... last week it was Melissa, this week its Amber! Yes Processor trying to serve papers. Stated this is final notice, will contact employer. If you block the number they're able to still leave VM or just call from different number. Stated civil matter! Right! No company name given this week, last week wad RDD Processing which doesn't exist!

Scam! Real process servers don't call in advance.

They called me and left a voicemail from amber threatening w/serving me at home or place of employment lol that’s
Were they made their first mistake in violating the FDCPA when I called back and ask them if they’re intent was to summons me serve me or sue me they said no and later, proceeded to tell me that it was regarding a medical debt from 2011 and then commence to lie to me about the statue of limitation’s, and how it works

Thanks Ted.  Just got one from 877 313 0499.  Also claiming to be a server

I did too! It really shook me up as they had some of my personal info and said I had a notice to appear in court

talked down to me in a condescending voice claiming I was trying to get out of paying a past debt that I had no idea what they were talking about

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

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 they 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 have to be served within a certain amount of time.  Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there is actually 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.

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.
