888-320-2818

Got a call from a restricted # saying they tried to send me registered mail and gave me a number to call and a ref #.. no one has tried to deliver anything, - someone is always home at my house... I did not call the number back - all they would tell me was the company was W.A.G.

I got that call too

Got a call saying they tried to send registered documents but that failed and now they needed us to call back and verify information... right...

The same here!

They are trying to get people to call this number saying they have missed a delivery for certified documents. The issue with this is, they are trying to get you to reach out to them. So if you share your information. It appears that you have volunteered that information to them. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER THEY GIVE YOU. This is Phishing.

No, this is not "Phishing".  This is an extortion scam for money since they already have your information.

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.

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 received a call today with a "no called ID" identification. The woman said they were attempting to deliver a certified letter and the company she was calling from, Rapid Delivery, had been unsuccessful in reaching me, despite coming to my home on multiple occasions. She provided a number for me to call, 888-320-2818, and provided a file number to reference. I asked for her to identify the sender and all she could tell me was "WAG". When I pressed on for an address and other information, she could only give me a local zipcode. It all seemed a bit suspect! I mean, why did she call with "no caller ID"??  - Needless to say, I will not be calling the number.

I got the same call except no number also

Same here. Very suspicious.

This number keeps calling me- saying the exact same thing as above.  Now they’re on their final notice and are going to serve me at my job. This is ridiculous. I have cameras and nobody has been at my home to serve me .

Called my cellphone,  came up private number, and  was asking for me under my maiden name. I have nothing and I mean nothing in any outstanding debts in any way shape. Or form, even under my maiden name, so I know this is shady. Looked number up, and the place is called  Western Asset Group. I agree with big a, and that this is a definite extortion scheme, and I even looked them up on the Better Business Bureau, and see that they've got multiple unanswered complaints against them.

Just to update everyone on this, I have contacted the better business bureau on this, as well as sent this company, if that's what you wanna call it, a certified letter of cease and desist. If anyone is interested here is the company's address below, as well as the link from the BBB.

Western Asset Group
9530 E Grand Ave
Greenwood Village, CO 80111-1342

I also received this call.  I work from home so I know that no one has come to my door.  What scares me is that they had my name and my address.  I supposed that's how they get people's attention.  I've worked from home since 2020 and someone is always here so nice try.

So I have a google voice number and I called these people so they couldn't track it back to me.  The company is called Western Asset Group, in case anyone wants to report them.

Yes, we already had that information which you would have known had you taken the time to read the other posts.
