WILL SAY YOU OWE MONEY ON AN OLD DEBT TRYING TO COLLECT
OTHER NUMBERS 832-742-4309

Got a call from this company saying I was scheduled to be served tomorrow important court documents and was given a case number for a Riverside Court Case and looked up said case number and it was not found in Riverside County's System.

Criminals masquerading as debt collectors attempt to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged (they use the bad check or hot check claim a lot) and go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished without actually being sued or going to court, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt.  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 will use the words “Mediator”, “Arbitrator”, or “Law Office” to make you believe that they are something other than a debt collector want-a-be and that they don’t have to follow Federal and State collection laws.  They do have to follow those laws, but they won’t.  They also use the “process server” ruse who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another 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).  Process servers do not ever call ahead so that you can dodge them.  Process servers get paid to serve papers, nothing else.

Recieve a message saying they were a private server and that she was going to serve me papers on thursday at my current address. She also said that she could not serve me papers at home would serve me at and if she could not serve me then the court case would go on without me. Left this number to call if i had questions. Called the number and woman asked me i had been servef yet told her no and that there was nothing in the court systems. She then said good luck with that they will serve me when asked what it was in refence to she hung up on me. Can someone tell me if this is a legimate call or if its a scam.

My wife got the same call today on her cell phone and left a message for me saying the same thing that they are coming to serve me papers to sign and if no one is here that will go to my work and get them sign there if no one there they will proceed with it and left this number to call did anyone us get the same message

Did they ever show up at your home or work? Was told they were coming today.

Did they ever come to u

SCAM!!!    Real process servers do NOT warn you that they are coming.   Check BigA's post above yours.

Not yet

Did they ever give u a time they said in the voicemail between 3-5

Thats what they said in mine to

Did they come to U

No. What about u.

No they did not

Total scam.  No legitimate process server calls you up in advance and tells you he or she is coming by.
Just because someone on the phone calling you says you owe a debt does not mean you actually owe it.

If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:

1.    Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2.     Demand a debt validation letter by US mail.  E-mail no good.
3.    Do not pay  the collection agent or anyone else a  dime until the debt is validated

Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply ignore them and block their calls.

If they are bothering you, report them:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection (Threatening civil proceedings with no intent to follow through, or threatening criminal process in order to collect a civil debt is a  violation of the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.)  The same goes for endless telephone harassment

Also contact your local attorney general

If they continue to bother you,  and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.

You'll probably have to yell at them and talk over them.
You have to get tuff with these people because,  being akin to thugs, brute force is (metaphorically speaking),  the only thing they understand.

Tptal scam.  Read my post.  Ignore and block these calls.

Did they ever come

Did they ever come to you

They are scammers. I did checks on their multiple numbers and one of the 844 numbers is out of Puerto Rico. I called the company I had the debt with and the amount I owed was nowhere near what the scammers wanted to collect. They refused to give me their physics address and refused to mail me a letter of validation for the debt. They only emailed me something with a very generic email. When I did my research and called back for more information they hung up on me and then sent me to voicemail. They are a fraud. Please call your local police or attorney general. They should not be getting away with this. Good luck everyone!

But what if the debt is real ?
