888-672-3560

Says mail from uscc needed to confirm my mailing address after 2 failed attempts

I was informed that a lawsuit has been filed against me for an outstanding balance of $48,000.   I asked him what it was from, and he “couldn’t tell me”.    He said he could settle this claim right now for $9,000.  Isn’t that generous of him.  🤨.  He told me it was from the early 2000’s and that my husband was on there too.   That’s funny because we weren’t together in the early 2000’s.   SCAM!!!!   Do NOT believe them.   And definitely do NOT give them money

Just letting the people know,  this people have access to your relatives phone numbers.  Every few weeks they call one of my family member, claiming that I have a civil lawsuit or something like that with them. FALSE!! Beware citizens!!!!

left a message caller ID 541-578-8218 stating a similar story? Thinking this is a scam, have not called back the 888-672-3560 number.

This is an urgent message intended to reach ***** my name is Madison and I'm calling from document preliminary Services. Our office is been retained to advise you of a pending matter that has been placed in our office at four to be filed against you out of pierce County. There's usually a 30 day notice sent over to the shoot(?) address I have on file for 97th Avenue. This message is to inform you of your failure to respond due to no contact on your behalf it is imperative you contact the claims department immediately otherwise you could be in jeopardy of the from moving forward without your cooperation. The number I advise you to call is 888-672-3560 with your document number 419696. We advised this is a time sensitive matter and it does require your immediate response....

He cannot legally sue you or even threaten to sue you as that debt, if it ever existed, is long past the Statute of Limitations in every state.

The fake process server/location specialist scam usually contains:

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

Just received a call from a Brittany Jones, preliminary global services department.  Caller ID showed 530-220-1791.  Claiming there is a pending matter.  If I do not respond move forward on the matter.  Googled both numbers with no link to a valid company or law firm.  Haven't called back since the responses in the search about it being a scam number.  Plus they used my maiden name that I haven't used in about 10 years.

I got the same call same number to call back it's definitely a scam

This is almost the exact same call I got but was not intended for me but someone connected to me. And it was a local number that called me and since I didn't recognize or wasn't expecting a call I let it go to vm. It was a Sumara Jones that called and she was breaking up so I couldn't hear her as well. And she sounded bored. Her tone didn't sound urgent or aggressive just bored or monotone. 6/10/24 11:45ish am.

I got the same call.. as well they called my ex wife and brother.  They are trying hard nowadays.
