Called my place of employment saying I'm getting served....not once had a conversation with me, told who answered the phone...I mean really

Caller said have complaints and is being served papers

Called and left a message saying I was being served due to a complaint.

Called 4 times in 4 minutes.used the name David Hernandez. The call was not even for me but for a family member.

got the same call to my place of employment said they wanted to speak to my supervisor because i was getting served. I'm kind of nervous is this a scam?

Yes, it's a scam. REAL process servers don't call in advance. Inform your HR department that this caller is attempting to scam you and, if possible, have them block the phone number.

scam saying im get served

Thank you he even said I have 1HR to get back to me and good luck to me. I wonder if they will keep calling x:

They called me as well with information about my ex step mom that she was going to be served in my house??? I said excuse me who the [***] are you and she does not even have my address. They did have my address, so I notified my kids and husband about this to make sure they don't open the door to anyone. The government and internet need to do something about having our address online to better protect us.This is truly some scary [***], and if any scamming people are reading this just know you will knock on the wrong door! This is just a friendly reminder 😊

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 (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.

They keep harassing my dad saying they are going to serve me and being sued. My dad hung up on them and they called back with another phone and threatened him saying that he can keep hanging up but, they will keep calling. I keep telling my dad to block the number. They have called him numerous times.

They are saying they will go
To my employment and I have to be there to sign - I could tell it was fraud . No one tells u to be there from 9-5 mon - fri
Lol what idiots

They just called me again right now and had information on my boss and were asking to speak with him. Someone in the office confirmed he was my supervisor. Now they're saying I have an HR to have my attorney call them or they will come to my place of employment t serve me.

I received calls from seven different numbers same person giving me this number to call back. Told me I am going to be served papers, kept talking over me and told me I was acting like a child when I asked what it was about. I told him it sounds like a scam and I do not deal with scammers.

When will they give up calling? They called again and I pretended to be a co-worker and told them "the person was not in her boss had given her permission to go file a police report against them" and that her boss will not be in he is on vacation and to stop calling the place of employment that we know they are scammers. All that man said was " ok we will stop calling but can you please just take a case# and a phone number" but will they actually stop ?

I have personally NEVER been contacted by this number. However, this number contacted my wife several times, her grandmother, her brothers, and who knows who else. The context of the conversation goes like this from a "Sam Cruz". Here is the context word for word in regard to the voicemail left on a family member's cell phone;" This message is for...This is Sam Cruz, I am calling regarding a formal complaint that requires immediate attention.. (cannot make out the next words)...is scheduled to be delivered to your residence and place of employment, please ensure you have proper identification to ensure proper delivery. If you or your attorneys have any questions or concerns you need to contact our client at: 888.841.3258 reference/case number XXXXX.

Like most people I am leery of anyone trying to contact me out of the blue, making allegations or threats to 3rd parties i.e., family members and my spouse regarding me. I am not aware of any legal actions against me neither is there a reason for one.

I did my due diligence and check with the state's court records to see if there were any actions and nothing can be found, looked at my credit, and nothing out of the ordinary.

I find it odd that they never tried to contact me, or at least that I am aware of and the second if this was legitimate, it seems like a gross violation of privacy harassing 3rd parties, especially not knowing my relationship to the 3rd party (one of which we do not speak to).

I tried calling the number from an app and was hung up on by the system.

Called the number and was greeted by a woman,  Nothing professional about the greeting.

Of course, they only want your information. I let them know that I do not feel comfortable giving personal information until we have established the legitimacy of the business.

Asked their name. Response Ashcan Associates <--Google searched and cannot find anything.
Where are they located? Her response: California.

This is when she asked why I am calling: I let her know that I have not received a call personally but my family has received several threatening calls and I am trying to establish the legitimacy of the business.

She asked for my case number. I stated once again, that I am not providing any information until the legitimacy has been established, was about to ask a follow-up question and she hung up on me.

At this point, I have contacted my lawyer and they can establish if this is a legitimate complaint/business and if not issue a cease and desist, and anything else we can do for the harassment.

Why are you paying a lawyer to "establish if this is a legitimate complaint/business" when you already know it isn't? They aren't going to be able to get any more information from this scammer than you were so they won't be sending that cease and desist letter nor do anything about the harassment.
