949-688-7561

This is a scam number they left a voice mail trying to sound like they are calling from a court courier service they are not then i gave the man my reference number he got mad and hung up. I called back 3 times i keep getting voice mail now. He mad because he tried to get me to say my date if bith and last for social i told him i dont give out that information. Then he hung up. Scam beware!!!

Hi everyone i called the number back i had to call from my friends number, guess what.. They answered, and a lady said is this sherry, the woman who left a message on this website about 949-688-7561...I told her yes i left the message about them being a scam she said she would not give me no more info on why im being called. She started laughing that i had to call her back, she would not tell me what company she was collecting for. She said i will get a letter in the mail and i could dispute it within 30 days. So i said ok because of covid-19 im aware of debt collectors i know how this goes. And when you have lost your job and dont pay the minimum due they think they can call and leave mean messages acting like they are the police if you dont pay. Ok! They are not a scam but beware ....

Now you think that they are "not a scam"?  I would certainly disagree with that notion.  But, when you get that letter stop back and give us the complete company name and address.

 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.

All im saying is because the guy hung up after trying to get my date of birth and ss i thought they were a scam. After i called back a few times, they would not answer no calls from the number i was calling from, i had to use some elses phone called 949-688-7561 a lady answered. I told her what the guy did, she didn't want to hear it, then she did not want to tell me what company she was representing she just said i will get a letter in the mail, i have 3o days to dispute the bill. So this is why i believe more they are a debt collector than a scam. But you and everyone has there own opinion.

When I get the letter I will come back to 800notes.com/ and Whitepages com and let you what company they are collecting for.

A legitimate debt collector wouldn't hang up on you. Nor would they claim to be a process server. I will be quite surprised if you get a letter from them.
