877-350-3353

I received a text from this number.  Who is it?

Yeah, who sent this text? Inquiring minds want to know.

This number is a part of Careers Inc, which is a verification service
for employers for hundreds of different job boards. I'm a
representative of Careers and would like to clarify why you're getting
a text from us on this number.

We receive a large quantity of resumes for thousands of positions
across the country, and our job is to verify that your contact
information is correct. Employers use Careers because they get such a
massive response to job postings. It's very hard for any company to
sort through interested applicants - people are not reachable, their
phone numbers are disconnected, or their email is invalid or typo'd on
their resume. This leads to frustration on both ends, where applicants
receive no response and employers get bad contact info for an
otherwise qualified individual.

Careers attempts to contact applicants to confirm that their
information is correct - if it is not, then we help them to correct it
and update the employer on the applicant's status.

We do not ask for any sensitive information such as SSN. We do not
charge for our service. We will never ask you for anything beyond
confirming what's already in your resume on file.

This is [***]! They pretend to do this but end up pointing you high price schools do nothing for you!!! Don't believe anything they say.

I just got a call/voicemail from this number and it said I wasn't present today to sign my sealed documents and that I should return their call and refer to a case number they provided.

Scam, proclaim to be lawyers, IRS, trying to get your info and money

You are either a fake [***] crook or someone is using your number. Ive turned this into Atty. Generals office.

They did same thing to me. Dont give them [***]. I have the recording.

That person posted here 7 years ago.  Who knows what the number was being used for then.

Got a call from this number today. A recorded computer voice said it was a very important message for me and my "accounts" have been placed on hold with my social and I needed to contact them at this number. They call actually came from a whole different number 877-320-7484 which belongs to an auto body shop in Maryland.

This number called my phone yesterday, as well as a 877-820-7484 number. I don't answer unfamiliar numbers and if it's that important, leave a voicemail. Well they did not leave a voicemail but instead called my father's number saying they were a process server and I had hold on my accounts. My father freaked out and called me. No idea how this person even got my dad's cell phone number! I called them back and the woman said I defaulted on payday loans from 3 years ago and now what was $800 is $1500 (due to interest) and will be $5500 once I go to court and lose (due to legal fees, etc.). Also said if I went to court, I would be charged with check fraud. She was willing to settle for $750 and needed my debit card information to set up a payment plan. I told her I'd contact her back. She threatened that if she didn't hear from me by the end of the day, she couldn't stop the process server from getting me. I called them back today and said to send me a validation of debt and also the company's contact information. They emailed me a fake looking letter from "Midlane Processing" saying I owed $1500. Nothing on there pertained to anything legal or charges against me, other than I owed them $1500. It was from an Aaron Cohen, subrogations. I emailed them back and told them not to contact my family or myself, as they were a scam. There are no businesses out there with this name and their address to their office is a P.O. box and not an actual business. Their multiple phone numbers cannot be tied to an actual business. I also informed them that I would be reporting them to the police and attorney general's office. When I spoke to a lady this morning, I told her that they called my father and gave him personal information when they informed him I had a hold on my accounts and a process server was looking for me. I told her that was clearly illegal and she agreed with me, saying she would  contact the process server because that is illegal and it wasn't the company who did that. It clearly was them because the phone number that called my father was "their business." Now they are calling from a private number instead of their business numbers. Something needs to be done about these scam artists... I feel bad for the people who actually go along with it and give them money.

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 and they can scare that person into paying their extortion money.  They often call people that have never even been associated with you because they get erroneous information off of the internet.

They mention that they have received a Fax document, to create the sense of urgency and tell you that they are a “process server”. This is simply ruse to get you to call another number (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:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

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

Received a call stating that I needed to sign sealed documents...SCAM!!!

Received a call stating that I needed to sign sealed documents...what the F**k is a seal document?  Anyway, If you dont know then dont call back.  Looks like a scam of some sort .

I got a call from a very similar # which sounds the same, but they are using a married name I have not used since 2008? The number was 877-350-3558. Is there a way to find out the name of the business?

just got a call/voicemail from this number and it said I wasn't present today to sign my sealed documents and that I should return their call and refer to a case number they provided.

This number called and left s voicemail looking for my brother to sign sealed documents. I called back to inform them that she reached the wrong number. She also was rude to me and knew my name but couldn’t tell me anything other than there’s a formal complaint against my brother and that him or his attorney need to contact them. She couldn’t verify the state or county of the complaint other than “the state he lives in.” And when I mentioned that I was told this is a scam she got super salty and was like “of course you did. Well if people told you that Applebee’s was gross would you eat there? And I said she didn’t didn’t need be rude.” I also threatened to call the law enforcement center or attorney general and she said go right ahead.. my name is Maria Rodriguez and I’m calling from Midline Arbitration.

They called with a case # yet the listing when I looked up said careers inc. My daughter living in another state got the same call asking for me. I The said they had sealed documents I need to sign. She also looked up this number and found the same Career Inc.
I don't answer unknown callers I let it go to voice mail

Did they ever proceed with anything. I've gotten the same email

This same situation is happening to me right now. It a sounded fishy and the debt they are talking about is 10 years old if even real bc I never had accounts with who they said I owe mo ey to and di send a plane Jane "Midland processing" email with an address that when I Google earthed it it shows a PO box location.
