I received a call from a different number on my house phone from a recording that only said "please hold while we connect your call" - when I hung up, 10 seconds later my cell phone rang from this number, when I answered, they asked for me by name (a live operator), then told me to hold for the other operator.  My bank recently had a data breech so I did hold to make sure it wasn't about that.

The person who came on was nasty when I asked for more details than "this is about a personal business matter" and "IC Systems" before I would answer her questions about MY identity.  I hung up at that point.

I recently (like last week) filed for divorce - I think they get the contact information from court documents and figure anyone going through any sort of legal matter might be stressed/confused/overwhelmed enough to fall for the scam.

I got a phone call and they also called my Auntie for me, not even sure how they got her number.  Same thing as all the other complaints, telling me there is a restraining order out against me and to get a lawyer and call.

I got a call from 1-774-221-8770.caller id said Emma Chaney.I dont know this person  but the recorder said it was law suit w/ a restraining order.Ive never been in trouble so i knew It was a scam.PLEASE DONT FALL FOR IT !

I have been receiving phone calls from this number several times a week. They keep giving a civil case number and talking about some case against me. When I call back or enter the civil case number it goes nowhere and the call is ended. What is going on? Is this a scam?

They are a joke. As soon as I asked to talk to the managing partner of the firm or ask for the attorney's Bar Association number they hang up.

I kept getting a call from this same number. cannot get anyone. they are referening case number uox1983. they call my office everyday. what is this?

I have received two messages asking me to call this number and providing an Affidavit No.  They say there is a restraining order being processed against me.  My 75 year old father has received five of the same calls.

Left me a voicemail with a threat of a retreining order I don't have issues with nobody that I know of so is stessing me out to find out who is doing this

I also have received this call from 774-221-8770.  They call my mothers house and my 90 yr old gmom.  They had her in a panic that I did something wrong.  I wish I knew what to do to stop these calls.  We have all received this call three times this week.  I am going to call Verizon and have this number blocked. Thanks for all the info

I had the exact same phone call as these hundreds of other people have described hope they get caught...thankfully it sounded so phony I knew it was a scam. It was a message about a restraining order and said I should forward it to my atourney and had 24-48 hrs to respond or a judgement would be made against me I was given a case # and the phone # 774-221-8770 to call back. They called my mother and my ex mother in laws house. What a SCAM!!! Not going to even try to call back.

I got the same message from # 774-221-8770. Stated I was sent a letter in November and I owed something $2900.00. I spoke with someone that sated his name was Chris Tressider(he even spelled it for me when I ask), I figured the phone call was costing him more than he'd ever get from me. So I kept him on the phone for 1 1/2 hours. Oh gosh we laughed and I ask him everything short of what he thought of western civilization. Later I ask again him again to spell t so I could make sure I had it correct. Poor fellow couldn't even remember how to spell his own last name, he spelled it totally different. I ask him all kinda bull crap. From weather where he was to if he liked his job, did he have children, did he play golf. I even talked him down to only having to pay $150.00 (WOW). Call ended with me telling him to give me some time to think about it but I said "It's been great talking to you, oh and don't call me back, I'll call you." All the time I was on the computer and knew it was a scam. Poor fellow.

Multiple calls to ex mother in laws unlisted home number saying I was attempting a restraining order.  No idea where these crooks are getting their info.  Call back # 1-774-221-8770 left on messages.

I just left a message for the FBI, with a full description of the recording, case #, phone #, as well as the name identified by my caller ID.

Received the same message from the same number, with the same result, all mailboxes I tried to access were described as "full."
However, my caller ID identified the caller as "Emma Chaney." If that is of any help.

I received a message on my phone to call regarding a civil suit against me and show cause hearing.  I called the number left, 774-221-8770, and tried ALL the options to speak with someone about this.  Well go figure, not a person at any one of them.  It makes me mad that these idiots go after others to make money that we have worked hard for and the have NOT!!!

Received message on phone and also phone for prior address'. Same as others, call and goes nowhere, as all boxes are full.

Received a call from National Legal Corporation with a recording both on my cell phone and land-line phone.  Message states I have a class action suit against me and that I need to respond with my attorney within 24-48hrs.  The recording states that the avadavit number is SVV9-3286 and it response to a restraining order being brought against me.

This is definitely a scam.  If you were being sued, a process server would show up at your house or workplace unannounced and serve you.  You cannot be served over the phone.  The restraining order threat is also empty for the same reason.  This sounds like a sleazy illegal debt collector.  If you really did owe debt, you certainly would not be served with a restraining order.  They are violating the FDCPA right and left.  I wouldn't talk to them if they call again, but if you do, try to get their mailing address so you can certified-mail them a debt validation letter, or if you do not owe any debt, you can certified-mail them a cease-communication letter.

Dear Stressed:
Please read my post and rest assured it is a scam.

I received a phone call first on my cell phone.  When I answered my phone not recognizing the number...774-221-8770...it was a recording.  Letting me know that I had a restraining order against me and that I had 24-48 hours to respond with my lawyer to this complaint. SVV9-3286.  I pretty much figured it was a scam because I thought you had to have someone come to your house and deliver it personally and have you sign for it.  I wasnt sure if maybe it is done differently now...not knowing 100%....so I called my cousin's husband who is a lawyer and let him listen to it.  He is the one who advised me to google the phone number and that it is more than likely a scam.  Also said it would be wise to report it.  If they get enough complaints...they can be under investigation.  They also had my home phone number and left the same message.  BTW...when you do call...like the above posts read...you cannot get through.  Hit 1 or 2 and it says mailbox is full and hit 3 and it says invalid selection.

Received a call today from 17742218770 saying a civil action has been filed against me and that I must appear and that there is. Restraining order. I have called the number about 15 times and every mailbox is full. I pray this is a scam because if not I have no idea what this is and it's got me pretty stressed out!!

We received this on a fairly new cell # and it really  annoys me and agree with the string of emails - why can't we get to the attorney general and have this shut down - its apparent our govt can't get anything else accomplished maybe they could handle investigation and elimination of these bottom feeders.

They said that I was being sued by a credit card company for $1495.00 and for credit card fraud, I told them that I did not commit fraud.  The man said that my assets and bank acct. would be frozen and attached, I told him that I was sick and could not work and could only pay $25.00 per month, he refused and said I would have to pay $149.00 per month until paid in full. He then said that I would be served papers for fraud.

Received phone call from National Legal Civil Investigation, phone #774-221-8770. Said there was a civil case against me,  left a case number and phone number to call, also said to give info to my lawyer. The name that showed up on my caller id is Emma Chaney.  I called that number but each time I called, the mail box was full.  They never left the name of the person they are trying to call, so how can we know who it was for.

They contacted me about a restraining order.  Gave me the above # to call.  All mailboxes were full.  Said call back later.  It also left a claim Number.  I had a feeling it was a scam.  I don't want anymore calls from them!

Christie:  If your attorney is dealing with it, does this mean it is a real deal or is he just dealing with the fraud side of it?  It sounds like everyone else is saying to just leave it alone its a hoax, but I want to be sure.
Thanks

Got the same call this morning.  Legally I don't think they would even be able to give the "Case number" over the phone anyway.  I worked in the court system for years and I have never heard of anyone being advised a head of time that they are getting a restraining order....lol....it just happens.  I did call back and pressed every number, got no one...all of their "mailboxes are full", how convenient!!!!  I just wanted to ask has any of you contacted an attorney at all about this just to see what they say?

civil investigation.  restraining order.  NATIONAL LEGAL CORPORATION.    When I tried calling it back  they said the mail box was full.  or you could press 0  to leave a message.    Seems like I would have received something certified if this was legit.

called w/message concerning my son and restraining order....

got message, returned call, called my lawyer, he's dealing with it
