Received call threatening legal action.

Stated was with ATT and owed money and that if they didn’t get immediate payment legal action would occur

Received call saying I have a court case and should be home to receive some paperwork that needs my signature.when I asked which court (family, small claimed etc) she just said it’s a it’s Clark County (Nevada) . They also used my maiden name & I haven’t used that in close to 20 years. She gave me this number & a “case” number.

Looks like they're on a roll, he was super disrespectful. Said his name was Noah and he is a paralegal. Threatened legal action in Fresno County due to an unknown/unpaid debt.

If they don't know what the debt was then how do they know that it is unpaid and how would they file for "legal action"?  Unless you live in Fresno County they cannot file a lawsuit there for purposes of debt collection.  They must sue you in the county that you live in.

Whenever someone tells you that they are a "lawyer" or that they work for a lawyer or law firm, the first question you should ask is what state(s) they are registered in and their BAR number for that/those state(s).  Then go to that state and check them out, contact them directly using the information in the state registration, as these crooks have been known to research real law firm names and attorney names and impersonate them.

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.

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, 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.

I just received a similar call about 30 min ago provided me with the last 4 of my social and a case number

Received a call from 530-203-1114 telling me to call 877-992-6939 that they had legal papers to serve me and it would require an adult signature.  Gave me a case number and said to call and set up a time when I would be home to sign for the documents.

Threatening legal action

Received a call stating that they have legal documents to serve me. They threatened fines and legal action if I don’t respond to them.

Had a call from 5632302213 to call 8779926939 in regards to to Capital One mastercard.  When asked for account and when it was open they said 2007 after 1.5 hour found out that Capital One ins no longer the owner of the account

Calling for legal action. Scam

Dept collector, threat legal action.

Quote:

found out that Capital One ins no longer the owner of the account

What does that have to do with this phone call?

called said I have a phone bill from Verizon that was opened 15 years ago.  I have Verizon and have had them for about 20 years. When I told they they became rude and said I will be sued for this bill.

This is a scam they are calling me about someone that has been deceased for over 5 yrs.

Mumbled name of who call was for, said it was for case #2022-8772701.  ID self as Chelsea White, then mumbled something about service certification and they are making their 'final attempt' to serve a court summons "for the property address attached to this phone number". The document requires a signature for "proper service and delivery of someone over the age of 18 must be present and available. Contact the issuing agents legal department for further information at 877-992-6939. Failure to communicate with the office penalties and fines under the Title 18 Section 1501 Willful evasion of service."
