888-261-6241

Called 3 times within a minute. Phone picks it up as spam, likely. Called back, and it just says “associates” when answering.

I'm tired of these people calling. This is the xact message they ALWAYS leave.

If you will not be present to sign
for them. We will be forced to record the attempt to deliver and return all
documents to the issuing party. If there's no response from you by the end
of the business day. They will continue without your participation. To
reschedule delivery of service you will need to contact 1-888-261-6241 or
you may press one to speak to your case manager now. This call has been
recorded as an attempt to deliver the documents you have been notified.

This is the fake process server scam. Real process servers don't call in advance.

Same just got a call I’m not certain it’sa scam but it sure does feel like one it’s similar to other calls I’ve returned

I have gotten calls from this number at least two or three times this week alone. I first got a lady the first time, asking for my home address. I would not give it out and hung up. Today, got an automated voice call talking about documents being delivered. Then it said contact these officers at this number. Sounds like they want to arrest me. Are they in for a shock. I'm physically disabled, and I am broke. What are they going to do?

No one gets arrested for not paying a debt.  I'm surprised that no one seems to know that.

The fake process server/location finder extortion SCAM usually consists of the following:

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 then they will 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 must be served within a certain amount of time. Remember that you can always call the local courthouse to see if there really is 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.
