888-414-0102

I got a call looking my friend (that I havnt seen in over 6yrs and lives 1000 miles away)  that I know as a contact person for a Company called Dispute Resolution with a case # for her to call back.

This man talked very abusive saying he knows a a relative and they are coming to my house

The fake process server/location finder extortion attempt 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 (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “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 letter 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 letter 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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

This man say that one of my kin people was in alot of trouble but he didn't know that person he was calling about haven't lived here for over20 years he say this could be work out with money at this time I told him he was lying and I hung up

I got a call from a No Caller ID that left a message with File #. He gave me this number to call 888-414-0102. When I called the caller never said his name and talk to me with a tone to try and scare me. I told him do dial it down and he got mad. I told him to not contact my number again he got mad and called me a stupid hoe and told me not to call him, lol. Fool you cant scam me that is why he is so mad.

I recognized the nature of this call. I too called the number given and was answered by someone from Dispute Mediation Services. The caller was looking for my son and told me that they wanted to give my son a head's up so he could "avoid" having to go to court. They also called my other son and left a message.

Last time we were targeted by a similar scam, we were told that a warrant had been issued and the police were closing in. These scammers create a false sense of urgency then want money to halt the process.

I call this company because they keep harassing my phone.   I spoke to a lady who in turn called me a batch and was just blatantly rude.   then when I called back I spoke to a gentleman his name is Paul he's just as rude as the lady.  I have never dealt with the company that thinks it's okay to call you a [***],  I proceeded to tell him that my identity was stolen and I have documentation stating that I never had an account with the credit union that he said I did.   but he could never tell me the year that this happened or the date I know it's fraud and idols company if they are in business they should not be in business,    if you get a call from 888-414-0102 and the guys  says his name is Paul hang up on him because purified,
