received a call and in the VM it said these was a compliant filed against and gave a docket  # .. i feel this is a scam

They are calling to say they have legal documents that need to be signed for.  They are not going to call me to tell me there are documents to sign for. They would just deliver them. I have zero legal concerns so... Positive this is a scam.

I agree with you, it's a scam.

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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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

I have been getting multiple calls from this number. No matter how many times I’ve blocked them. They reuse number. They went as far as calling my dad and trying to get information from him. I Called stage number and it either rings and rings or someone answering with “ corporate office” BEWARE

Calling my family and asking for me to sue me? Sounds like a scam.  888-481-3689

Local phoenix number left voicemail stating she was Lily from CDL and for me to contact their "client" at 888-481-3689. Called local number back and "Mike" answered. He called me by my maiden name which I quit using in the 90s. He was rude and gave no info on the "business" I was calling. I didn't call the 800#. I believe this is a scam.

 Received one call yesterday. Voice-mail message telling me about certain documents to be served on .me.        Then,  then my ex husband called and told me they had called his cell and his wife's cell looking for info on me.
About one hour ago  I get message from " Lily" with the same threat.
She called from 850 273 6024 telling me to contact their client at. 888 481 3689 before end of the da,y

Same scam everyone else it getting. They have called from many different voip numbers threatening to call my place of employment and speak to someone whose name they give that hasn’t worked for the company in 15 years. Every time they call I pick up and have fun with them. Mostly telling them to f*ck themselves and find a job etc.

Same, stated my refusal to contact them. Dude I have never heard of you.

I just received a voicemail from them that sounds the same as a bunch of other listed here, first time I ever heard from them, the voicemail came from a local number and the number listed here was the number they told me to call-  “This is Matt from CDL, we’ve left you a number of voicemails and are now marking that you are not willing to cooperate in our report to our client.  This is your last opportunity to call (number above) about file number (made up number).  I tried looking them up and the only CDL I could find is I think the truck delivery company and it’s maybe the title of their licensing they get?  So I’m pretty sure this is a scam, but it worries me other people are reporting they are calling their family members too.

This was the number left with a case number for me to call. It wasn’t actually me they were calling for but my ex SIL. They also mentioned what street she lived on. They threatened to serve me at work since I’ve refused to return their calls. Same name “Lily” is given. They’ve called three times this week. Finally blocked the number. I’m sure they’ll work around that

In addition to what I previously posted:

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 so that they can scare that person into paying extortion money.  They will usually also state information that would be illegal for a real debt collector to state to department and tell them that you are a deadbeat who does not pay their bills. They often call people that have never even been a third party such as that you are being sued, that you owe money to someone, etc. They threaten that if you do not call them back, they will contact your HR associated with you because they get erroneous information off the internet.
