You are a dumb Shill. If you really want to reassure people, why don't you want them to know who this trusted office is?

Debt Extortion Scam

Courier Services and Process Servers do not know what is contained in the documents they are paid to serve/deliver. They don't cold call a recipient to inform them of a "failed attempt to deliver", as that would alert the recipient someone is attempting to Serve them. Anyone explaining what they are delivering, saying "matter attached to your SSN", "you have officially been notified", "deliver legal docs and to have ID ready"  or offering an alternative "solution" to avoid delivery is a scammer. Real process servers don't need to set a time to deliver any documents nor do they threaten legal action if you don't call them.

The vague scare tactic message is designed to panic a victim into calling back.

Most debt collectors will use a certain amount of pressure to convince you to pay the debt. After all, they often don't get paid unless you pay. Be suspicious of a debt collector who uses an unusual amount of pressure to get you to pay immediately, particularly if they also use scare tactics to get you to pay right away. For example, a debt collector is scamming you if it :

• threatens you with a lawsuit and tells that you can avoid the lawsuit by paying right away
• Says a Process Server  or Courier is coming with papers to sign
• Threatens to call / go to your place of employment
• Insists you have been notified, served or are non-compliant via phone message(s)
• Refuses to give a company name or verifiable Contact source
• Refuses to send proof of debt via US mail

A sure sign of a debt collection scam is a collector that wants to you to pay via wire transfer or another method that can't be traced. If the payment method can't be traced, you'll have a harder time getting the authorities involved.

If the creditor sounds completely foreign, or you know you never had an account with that business, there's a chance it's a scam. Never pay a collection you don't recognize. You have the right to request written proof of the debt from the debt collector before you send payment.

Hey "Mike Ross" thank you for the laughs!.  I just love it when shills like you try to make pre-emptive "It's true, it's true!" posts only to end up shooting themselves in the foot and pointing out the scam on their own.
Now everyone coming here to check out this number will get to read that nice informative post below yours titled "Debt Extortion Scam" and learn the truth behind the calls.

By the way, how many times did you have to use Google Translate to get your "durka, durka" language to show up as understandable English?

Mikey can't help it, he's full of kalokohan.

Thank you for your post, Fnord.  I'd never heard that term before.  Had to look up the meaning and I am still smiling.  Very useful.

Poor Mikey. Picked the wrong place to shill.  Anyway, I am compelled to ask you, Mikey, why doesn't this "legitimate" company give it's name when openly and clearly asked?  I called the number and got "Shaun" from claims and arbitration.  I asked Shaun over and over for the name and address of his company.  I believe Shaun became frustrated with me as he simply hung up.  Hmmm.  "Makes ya wonder donut?"

This company called my father on another state, THREATENING to do this and that! A COMPLETE SCAM!!!!

110% a scam, when I called back they were tongue tied making excuses. My sister called and they threatened her with identity theft/fraud

If you are going to exaggerate, you should at least do it with style; "200% a scam", "500% a scam", "1000% a scam".  Those are all as ridiculous as your wimpy number, but they at least show exaggeration with some flair.

They called saying the same stuff as the OP. I called back and ran them around. Good times

So glad I found this forum. I suspected it was a scam when my dad called me about it. They called my dad asking for me, smh.

Received a call from what looked like a local number. It went to VM. Stated about delivering documents having to do with a complaint. Stated to stop further action call the 888 number. Sounds like a scam, foreign accent. Complaint was supposedly from a name that appeared on my credit report as someone  doing a hard inquiry several months ago. I got that taken off my report but now the name is popping up with this call. I am not going to call the number.

Just got a call from a local number asking for me and said they have legal documents to be signed.  I told the person to talk English because I don’t understand them, they hung up on me and called my ex-husband and probably my brother in another state.  I called the 888 number and told them I want this to stop or I will find out who they are and sue.  They do this every 3 months.

I just call this same call; I was thinking it was a scam when they said" to call the firm about some legal documents", I called just to see, and they said they have my DOB which they said, and have ny ss number they wanted me to verify, I said no way till you tell me what this is all about, they said they cant do that till I verify name, DOB  and ss#, I again said no, and they hung up.

Some idiot called my phone for someone I don't know.

I'm concerned it's saying the number is a scam do I need legal advice

You understand that scam means fraud, thieves, con artist, etc? What legal advice can anyone give about that, other than don't get scammed? If you need more info, I posted useful info on the first page, 3rd post.
