877-644-7047

received call from this number stating they would deliver papers to my residence and place of employment . They were a processor

Did this happen? Did they come or is it fraud. The number I was given I called and it goes directly to a Johnothan Duval and no one ever answers and no company name

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process.  They will deliver the notification without warning.

(Here is more info than you really need on process serving:

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam

"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."

"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."

getting a call from a Tim Roberts who says he has been contracted by this number to serve me documents and that he is an independent processor. he will not give out his personal cell and called from unknown. says he is going to deliver me papers and says the filing party (never gives their name) is 1-877-644-7047. was supposed to deliver to me on Friday - I was available, but he never came. now he is saying this is his last attempt...blah blah blah. these guys never show up. I've been served with eviction papers and let me tell you - they never warn you they are coming. I have been getting hit with so many scammers its ridiculous.

These guys are good...but it's a total scam.  My ex wife received the initial call and emailed me concerned I was in trouble with the law.  I even freaked out a little as I do have some past unresolved debt, but it's a scam.  It was Johnathan Duvall and I called him with the number my ex got on her voicemail 855-452-6425 but when I called to settle the matter it rang and then I got a voicemail for Johnathan Duvall.  I left a message (I still thought this was valid) and left my number.  He finally called back this morning from "unknown" and I sent it to voicemail.  He left a message saying he has papers to serve me and that if I called him back we could work on keeping this out of court and his direct number is 877-644-7047.  I was a little concerned as he now apparently has TWO direct numbers...in TWO days?  This is a total scam, I won't be calling him back, he won't be showing up and he won't be swindling me out of any money.

How can I verify whether or not a debt collector is legitimate?
Here are a few warning signs that could signal a debt collection scam:

The debt collector threatens you. Legitimate debt collectors probably won't claim that they'll have you arrested or claim that they or their employees are law enforcement officers.

The debt collector refuses to give you information about your debt or is trying to collect a debt you do not recognize. You have certain rights to ask a debt collector to verify the debt. You can use this sample letter to request this information. Ask for an explanation in writing before you pay.

The debt collector refuses to give you a mailing address or phone number.

The debt collector asks you for sensitive personal financial information. You should never provide anyone with your personal financial information unless you are sure they're legitimate.
If you think that a caller may be a fake debt collector:

Ask the caller for his or her name, company, street address, telephone number, and professional license number. Many states require debt collectors to be licensed. Check the information the caller provides you with your state officials, or the state in which the debt collector holds a license. If the caller refuses or is unable to provide you with information about his company, or if you can’t verify the information he provides, do not give money to the caller or company.

Tell the caller that you refuse to discuss any debt until you get a written "validation notice." This notice must include:
The amount of the debt
The name of the creditor you owe
A description of certain rights under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
If a caller refuses to give you all of this information, consider requesting this information in writing or seeking assistance before paying the debt to make sure the debt, and the company, are valid.

Tip: You can consider sending the collector a letter requesting the information by using one of the CFPB's sample letters. You can also submit a complaint to the CFPB or you can contact your state Attorney General’s office.

Do not give the caller personal financial or other sensitive information. Never give out or confirm personal financial or other sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number unless you know the company or person you are talking with is a real debt collector. Scam artists, like fake debt collectors, can use your information to commit identity theft such as:
Charging your existing credit cards
Opening new credit card or checking accounts
Writing fraudulent checks
Taking out loans in your name

Contact your creditor. If the debt is legitimate – but you think the collector may not be – contact your creditor about the calls. Share the information you have about the suspicious calls and find out who, if anyone, the creditor has authorized to collect the debt.

Report the call. Submit a complaint with the CFPB or get in touch with your state Attorney General's office with information about suspicious callers.

Stop speaking with the caller.If nothing else works and you believe the calls are fraudulent, send a letter demanding that the caller stop contacting you, and keep a copy for your files.

Tip: You can use this sample letter to write a letter demanding the debt collector stop contacting you. By law, real debt collectors must stop calling you if you ask them to in writing.

Tip: If you're having trouble with debt collection, you can submit a complaint with the CFPB online or by calling (855) 411-CFPB (2372).
