877-409-0532

I got one too

They call me every other day from a local number telling me that they are going to have no choice but to serve me at my work or home bc I have not called them. They also call and leave the same message on my 20yr old daughter’s phone each time as well. The always tell me to call back 877-409-0532 with a reference #. They are using typical scam tactics such as instilling fear and call to action. I fortunately have paid off every debtor in my credit report. I literally am not in default for anything so I know they are scammers.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

They mention that they have received a Fax document or that some sort of complaint has “come across my desk” 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, 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 a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

Some person with an accent that is nearly impossible to understand, states something similar to the previous comments. Advice to the scammers....employ someone who speaks clearly and can be understood.

The caller left s message about SVC notification from Pima County court. This has to be a scam!

This message is intended for a this is Lena giving you a call from Oakhill management um Mrs B I've been leaving you several messages regarding an arrangement that you set up here in our office um it looks like your initial payment that you had scheduled for the 21st if they declined unfortunately this is going to be my final attempt reaching out to you if I don't hear uh from you by the end of the day today I do have to forward the documentation so just go ahead and get processed uh phone numbers 877-409-0532 ask for Lena extension 454 thank you

I'm experiencing the same issue; they are calling both my work and cell phones. When I answered the call on my work phone, I told them not to call my work number again. However, they didn't listen and called me 4 times at work, leaving a message and a case number. They call with a 773-phone number, and the insurance agent must hear from me as soon as possible.

Now they are calling my brother and father, and they continue to call my work number. It doesn’t make any sense. SCAM!!!

I just had a missed call from a local number, when I listen to the message the first referred me to my maiden name which I haven't used in over 17 years. Left this number along with a refence number stating my file is getting ready to go out. Clearly this is a scam!!!! Do not fall for their tactics!!!

They called my phone and ignored, within minutes they sent a voicemail to my sister in law, stating it was urgent, paperwork will delivered to my home. They stated it was a child matter and money is owed to me....  The name they use is SVS Center.   SCAM!!!

Keep calling for someone that I don’t know

I got a call from them with the same ruse on voicemail. Thanks for posting the above.

You are very welcome!

Thank you to everyone posting about this. I am being called as well. I made the mistake of answering once. They are very pushy and persistent.  Yes now they are leaving voice mails threatening to get in touch with my HR dept. Again Thank you all :-)

Got a text from a number with a 361 area code telling me to call an 877 number to 'prevent escalation'. Typical debt collector scare tactics to try to get you to call and make a payment for whatever it is they think you owe. Ignore it.

Same BS happened to me. Clearly a spoofed local number from Mount Vernon, WA - a big red flag because I don’t know anyone there. 360-429-0311. Middle eastern female telling me a complaint has been filed against my wife and can’t share any details, but directs me to Oak Hill Management (ironically, I work with a client by a very similar name). They want me to call 877-391-1462 with a case number. I directly laughed at her and said it sounds like a scam, then laughed and hung up while she insistently tried to articulate her next threat.

I have received to of these looking for a “relative” with the same threats of serving papers to my work. But not for me. 😂 called from 360-429-0311
And requested a call back at 877-519-0986. Same scam. Very heavy accent and hard to understand.
