Got a call from this number to me cell phone. Caller id says from tx, I live in ca. Didnt pick up call, they didn't leave msg.
1. Looked up number here.
2. Reported call to apporpriate authorities.
3. Added to my 'hang up' list on Mr Number app on my phone.
If they are calling your cell phone, download a free app called Mr. Number. They have it for android or iphone. The app lets you  hang up on any incoming calls from any numbers and also has a setting where it will hang up on a call from that number and never notify you, if you prefer. Let them call for days...you'll never know, and they'll continue to waste their time calling lol.

They always say they are getting ready to serve you papers.  They aren't.  They want you to call a 1800 number with a reference number.  Tell them to go ahead and serve the papers- that your attorney want the physical evidence.  If you want, start asking them questions, i.e. physical address, company name, their name, tell them to NOT hang up, that this call is being traced.  See how fast they hang up!!!

I could not agree more with this post, but may I add a couple things:

1.  Report this number to your local police, state police and even federal marshals
2.  File with the FTC and Better Business Bureau (Just in case)
3.  Contact the FBI- trust me it works, as they are on this group as we speak

Reporting does and will help.  What these crooks are doing is 100% illegal and they could care less about the law because they are most likely spoofing a number when they call.  The FBI is tracing there calls and when they get the connection, the law will come calling.  Trust me, report and it will work..

Collection agency that will not stop calling even after you tell them they have thewrong person

They have not called us from this number in weeks, though have called a couple of times since from 2 different numbers. They are incredible. And please, never think that they are debt collectors. They are not. They are, apparently, just some group of crooks posing as an intermediary for supposed debt collectors.

Do NOT be fooled.

They call us fairly regularly (but now only once a week scaled down from daily) with the same script asking for the same name of a person who doesn't live at this number. Never heard of this person they are asking for. Even so, if the person DID exist at this number, it would still be a scam. They just pluck names and phone numbers out at random, toss out a line and hope to get a catch. Maybe this person once had our number and they have an old phone list. This is ALL over the internet. Just do a little research...it's really quite fascinating. They always have the same threat of legal papers being served "tomorrow". Funnily enough, no one ever comes....and why? Because it is a scam! Other people, who have maybe not been as vigilant as they should have been, have confirmed that someone with the same name lives at the premises. This is all they need. Apparently, they might then offer to take a payment over the phone to stop the papers being served. They have also sometimes threatened arrest to the person receiving their call and that a payment now over the phone can stop the arrest!

Debt collectors and legitimate legal agencies do not operate like this. Even if you HAVE debt, no one will call you before hand to tell you about legal documents being served. Nor can they threaten you with arrest.

So be smart and be brave. Do NOT let these people fool you. They take advantage of desperate people during tough times. Never give them any information. Just take down their details, tell them to never call again and report them to the FTC AND, most importantly, your State's Attorney. It may seem pointless to report them, but if everyone started reporting them then there is a greater chance of things being done. Apparently my state attorney is looking at them right now.

Don't be apathetic. Do something about them. Sure, no one is coming to deliver these imaginary papers so no one is concerned with threats of attack dogs or worse...these are hollow, worthless threats and solutions. But you can rest assured that the calls will NOT stop unless you get a little bit pro-active about this. The more people who stand up to them, report them and let them KNOW that we will not be pushed around, the more likely this will stop.

These are scum sucking debt collectors. Called 6 times in the past week. Every time a different jerk calls. They are looking for a person I have no idea who it is. Told them that and to stop calling and they just keep calling. Want to serve me legal papers. So I told them go ahead make my day. Come on over and my 2 German Shepard's will be waiting at the front door.

I got the same thing today. Looking for the previous owner of the cell number.  In total since I have had this number, for 6 weeks, I have gotten over 150 calls much like this for her.

Calls often, never leaves a message.

Got a call.  Didn't answer as I don't answer numbers I don't recognize.  They have have left messages stating that they were coming or wanting to serve papers on me.  They even called my parents.  I looked on the internet and there it was, my parents number.  SO this is a total SCAM:  1) Tell them to meet you at your attorneys office (you don't need to be there); 2) Ask for their physical mailing address (they won't give you one);  3) Ask for the name of the original creditor (they will tell you that you should know who it is as they've "sent out numerous documents"); 4) DO NOT give them your personal information.  If they are calling you they "should already have it"; 5) Just ignore their calls.

Oh, and no they haven't come to serve me.

did they serve papers

Keep reporting them, as the authorities are closing in.  I have someone at the Attorney Generals office of my state who is calling and tracing this number.  I filed complaints with the Attorney Generals office, filed a report with the Texas Marshals office, the FTC and BBB.  I know the police and AG are working to close this idiots shop and most likely get them in court.  Give these offices as much information as you can so they can trace these people and stop them.  I know these calls can shake people but DONT give this group a nickel.  Get any information you can about them when they are on the phone and write it down.  Again, REPORT, report, report..  Charges are coming, trust me.  Similar idiot was calling me this past spring from a California pay ahead cell number with a similar message and now he is in jail.  All because of the reports of his activity..

I got a call from them and I just kept ringing

So do they deliver anything?

They have called again today, this time called their "new" 877 number of 877-588-7426, oh and new case number. Spoke to Laurie Pinder whom refused to put me through unless I divulged personal information which I refused to do. They Claim to be with GSA Management.  She advised me they would continue to harass me until I divluged the requested information. At this point it is becoming a sick game

Every so often they rotate numbers to other burn type phones,

Person calling from this number civil procedures, they have been calling from different numbers for a couple of years, On this debt that is not mine, about a check never written by me. They have also called from 323-393-1028, and they have in the past had me call 1-877-588-4726. I have called, I have asked them to serve me, not only do they call me but they call friends and family, any name ever associated with me.

I REPEAT THIS IS NOT LEGIT,

I would love to get their information, because a law suit for harassment will be filed.

I like your response!  This is about the 5th or 6th number they have used.  They have called and had the right name, and go with that "civil department" routine, but can't give you a company name.  Once they tell me they are serving papers, I have done the same, except the locked and loaded part.  Just said to come on out, I'll be home.  Freaks them out, they hang up and back off, and then try again in about 3 months.

Received a call from this number. Gave me a case number a number to call  and they would be serving papers tomorrow sometime between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.    Told to call this number they would inform me of the case.  Called the number and it was a convenience store.

Scum agency calling and asking for a dead relative say she owes money.  These bottom feeders need to be stopped.  People should use a call forwarding to every other known scammer and they can call each other all day and bother themselves.

The woman asked for a relative of mine, stating that they wanted to deliver documents for a civil litigation. First of all, when you're being served, no one calls. Second of all, just because someone has the same last name doesn't mean it's okay to call them. I'm sick of this madness.

Company uses bully tactics. Even threatened and terrified my 12 year old son regarding one of our DECEASED family members.   Doesn't matter what you say, they just hang up on you and keep calling.

Total b*****ds.

469-458-2415

I have posted this information to Stalking page Justice department, I have also reported these numbers to AT&T. I have been having this same problem since 2008.

Same game just a different number. They go away for awhile but always come back. Sick of the calls. I no longer have voicemail on my cell bc of these scammers. I got sick and tired of their nasty, rude, threatening messages. I reported them to the Attorney General but they are "spoof" calling and no one can trace them.

Dido, I missed a call today from this phone number.  I called it back and it just kept ringing with no answer. I do not have any more information but will add this to my scam contact list so my phone will not ring when dialed from this number.

These are lowlife debt collectors that buy out of statue of limitation debt for pennies.  They are not legal, just trying to use scare tactics to get any money they can out of you.  Do not fall for this, do not give out any financial information.  File a report with the FTC and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  No one is going to call you and let you know they are going to serve you papers, it is a scam.  Next time they call tell them you are recording them, reporting them to the FTC and CFPB.  They are not legitimate.

Have they came by your house any?

They called many times, no message left. Very annoying. .

I just received another call from this number 469-458-2415.  They asked for a Dawn McLead, whom I do not know and tell them this repeatedly.  They told me they were coming to my house to serve her and I told them to bring it on, we are locked and loaded!!!  I am getting call block, because I have filed with my state attorney and they seem not to be interested in doing anything.  Bigger fish to fry, I suppose.

The next time they call just tell them to change their number because their scam is posted all over the web.

I know it might seem like no good is coming from complaining to the relative government departments, but it HAS to be better than nothing. There might not be an immediate result and, let's face it, there might not be ANY result! But we have to try. The more people who DO complain, the more likely something good might come of it.
I wish that EVERYONE who was receiving these calls would report them....reporting them MIGHT not help, but sitting idle and just hoping for the best will DEFINITELY NOT help.
Good to read that you will continue to report them. I know it can be a pain but it is all we can do...sadly.
I also continue to log complaints, hoping for the best....annoyingly though, these calls will probably just fizzle out, rather than be shut down as whatever this company is moves on to their next scam.
