I got a call at work, too.  This call was from an "attorney", who (in leaving a message with an unknown party at my office) claimed he was looking for me "to serve [me] tomorrow on legal action that NYC Courts have taken against [me]".
No real lawyer would leave such a detailed message with someone other than an involved party!
What crap!!  AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

Got a call from this # 877-290-9007 stating her name is Mrs.Santana and she is an attorney and they need me to settle my payday loan for a settlement fee of $400 or I would be served with papers to appear in court. Called me at work and said to please call them with my bank card # so they can take out the settlement and they would send me a paid in full letter either by email or fax.

Very upset at this number. They left a very threatening message on my voicemail that they were coming to my house.  They had the wrong number.  I called it back to let them know and they were absolutely so rude.  I pray that the person they are searching out stays far away from them.  What a horrible way to try and collect money.

Thanks, I will do just that....

I too received a call from a unkown #. I've learned to not answer restricted, unknown calls. So I just patiently waited for whom ever was calling to leave a msg. She finally left a msg today. Her name is Veronica Daniels. The voice mail stated that she had legal papers to serve me with at my house or place of employment. She asked that I call the claim processing # @ 1-877-290-9007 if i had any questions referencing a docket #. Of course I called and the #, Gobert Law Firm is the name of the company. I dont know if this is true or simply someone trying to get money out of me. I only say that to say this, Ive been receiving unknown calls for a while and as of yet been served any legal papers.

Got a call from this number from William Harvey stated that he had a summons for me to appear in court and that he was ging to be dropping off the paperwork at my house or my place of employment.

People, don't ever, ever give your debit card or information over the phone to a debt collecter especially these kind of people.  Legitimate debt collectors are not going to threaten you with serving you papers, those papers have to filed in your county court house, if you owe a debt and they have it, it's old, prob payday loans, don't pay them, it has already been on your credit, they are junk debt buyers, let them try to sue you, they wont' for small loans.  Send money orders if you must pay them.

They are fishing for information, they only have bits and pieces, they pray on scaring people to call them and pay for debts that are old, bought, or written off.  They have some of my information because I had fraud on my account, anyway, best thing to do is ignore them, if they call tell them they have the wrong number, scam them back.  If they call ur work tell them as if you are someone else that you don't work there any longer, they will stop for awhile then start again.  They even say they are going to serve me papers and issue a warrant for my arrests, bologna.  Change your number and deny they are speaking to you if you call.  I changed my number and I eventually got rid of them.  Make it a fun game and lie your a** off to them.

I received a call from this person when I was unavailable, so my voice mail picked up. The message she left me was insane.
She stated that her name was Veronica Daniels (I assume its made up so as to try and sound more legit) and then stated my name (not my complete legal name, just the one that I generally go by,with no middle name). She said that she was contacting me because I was on schedule to receive some "legal" paper work from the county. That they were going to come out to my residence to serve me,and any other parties involved. That I should have valid Id and a witness present at the time of signing.And that if no one was at home that someone would be escorted to my place of employment to "complete the service of process" and that they would use my supervisor to witness the signing.
She then continues by saying that if I had any questions or concerns or want more info prior to delivery that I could call the "claimants" office directly at 877-290-9007 and discuss this with someone in their office. And unless she received a stop order from the "filing party" that they would be at my residence first, and then my place of employment. Then to please be advised, any other questions I can contact them at 877-290-9007.
Then she ended with the statement that "this has been your legal notification"

And her song and dance started out sounding pretty convincing, but once you start to pick it apart then it ended up with some majorly glaring flaws.

First off, I am not aware of any law enforcement that would give you prior notification to being served papers. They already tend to have a difficult time locating the people in order to be able to serve them the papers (plus its not their job, nor would they pay someone to play secretary for you or them in order to give prior notification). Does it make any since that they would want to take a chance that you would take that notification information and use it to make sure you were NOT there when they tried to serve you.
Second, in the state that I live in, and most states, it tends to be the sheriffs office that will be serving the papers. And it requires the papers be signed by the clerk, assistant clerk, or deputy clerk of the court in the county in which the action is commenced before it can be served. So they are going to notify me the day before all this is going to take place, so that I might contact them and get a "stop order" on the paper serving? How would this work? I contact the "claimant", then they would contact the county court house, who would then in turn contact the sheriffs office, who would then in turn contact the servicing officer to let them know they have changed their minds about going to court and then therefore no longer need the papers to be served. Yeah, that all makes sense. Because they would be saying that this didnt just apply to me, it would apply to ALL the people they were trying to serve papers to. In my county, in my state, in this entire country. Thats a LOT of running around and a LOT of tolerance by the law enforcement community and court houses (which they are of course KNOWN for having in abundance, patience and understanding)

And to clinch it all, I also looked up the number I was given as to be the "claimants" (the 877-290-9007) and there are TONS of info on the web about this either being a scam or some type of collections company. In my experience, the two are not mutually exclusive.
Anyways. I just wanted to share because these companies are getting bolder and bolder in their scare tactics and lies as the economy continues to worsen. And I am sick and tired of not only them harassing me, but them preying on less wary people such as the elderly or inexperienced. Hope this helps someone :-)

I got this same message from the same guy!  he told me since i wasn't at my place of residence when he "attempted" to serve me (again, that's a lie, was home all day/all night), he would be coming to my place of employment.  he called my job, i pretended i was someone else in the office, he left a message w/a case # that he was a county processor and would be serving "me" papers first thing in the morning & to have a supervisor also available.

left voicemail w/employer stating they would be serving papers @ my place of employment 1st thing in the morning.  said he was with the county processing office.

I received a call from a man from Goldberg, Keller, and Brown LLC on thursday May 3, 2012 around 8:30 the phone number he called me from was 1-716-235-5833 in which he said his a name was attorney Tom Gibson.  He stated that I borrowed $200 dollars on November 2012 and that the company bought out the people that I borrowed the money to in which Bahama Marketing Group is the original creditors. He asked me for my debit card number to settle the payment from $550 to a total of $350, and $ 9.95 for processing fee.  I did give him my information with my debit card and called another source and I was told he was a scam. I went to my bank and filed a complaint and right now it is pending.

This company just called my daughter about me, now she is worried.  Told her the samething that they had a warrant for my arrest.
Threats like these should be against the law even if they are a lawfirm.

i just received a call from a private number when i checked my vm the caller said i hung up and hes coming to my job and house to serve court papers it has something to do with my license when i called back they refused to put him on the call im calling tmobile today to restrict private calls and toll free numbers from calling

U ARE A SCUMBAGE

got a phone call from 877-290-9007 wanting to serve me papers but would not tell me what it is about unless I give them my SS# and bank account number.when i started asking them questions they hung up on me....

Recived a call on my machine with only GK&B giving me their #. It seems from all that I have read that they are privy to all information given in confidence to Payday Loans" . United Cash Loans lent me 400 dollars and I paid it off. They attempted to debit my account with a bogus check attempt which "bounced" and turned my account inside out. Though the loan all my personal information was given to Packistani/Indian scammers ; one named "Mr. O'Brien ---another African Woman (at the same # )named "Mary. I spoke with them and they stated they were the FBI attemping to save me from Prosecution by the Supreme Court and they gave me a case # for the Supreme Court!!! I advised I would speak to the Attorney General in Maryland and The Almighty Federal Goverment. I called the FBI in Atlanta and Wash. State about it . FBI was not interested! FCC was very much ; FTC bored with it; CCC advised. They never called me again. They wanted $411.00 to save me from SCourt Prosecution.


 NEVER volunteer information, Especially on the phone!! The USA is veritable grape to be plucked by any malevolent domestic or foreign scammer scum you can think of. Many defensive aspects of our goverment no longer operate as is days of Yore!

I just received a call yesterday with a broken English stacatto statement. No #'s were given for case, dates or who to speak to. It appears to be an American version of the Nigerian 419 scams. I believe the info given to "Overnight Lenders" is provided to these boiler room operations. Maybe they are involved in the Social Security Ponzie Scheme along with the Federal Goverment?

This company has been harrassing me all week at work.  Today I got a msg on my cell phone stating a mans name saying he was Billy Rices that he was a civil case process server, stating that he was going to go to my employment and serve me some papers regarding an eight year old acct which the amount was a 500.00 loan and they were asking close to 3,000.00.That I better have an immediate supervisor to be my witness.  It was so embarrasing they caught me off guard, I am still in shock.

They called me too and tried their the same stuff. Whenever I asked them a question they would not give any info. The person said his badge number 456789....really!!! Watch out for them! They are full of CRAP!

I got a call from these people stating that there going to put a warrant our for my arrest and garnish my wages if I do pay a dept that's owed.. The company that I owe I called and they said they dont do anything like this so I called and report this company that calls them selves GOLDBURG KELLER and BROWN..

CALLED MY CELL PHONE WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND LEFT A MESSAGE THAT THEY HAD PAPERS TO SERVE ON ME AND IF I WAS NOT HOME WITH IN TWO HOURS THEY WOULD COME TO MY WORK. AFTER READING EVERYTHING ONLINE ABOUT THIS COMPANY I BELIEVE IT IS A SCAM.

Freelancer and received a phone call on Friday from an Officer O'Neal (spelling unknown). Being that I've worked county courts for sixteen years, I know the officers.  I never bothered returning the call since after listening a second time, I Googled the number and realized it's a scam.  Most creditors will move forward with court action without the illegal harassment calls typical of collection agencies. This group of people give legitimate collection agencies a bad reputation. The message was scripted with generalities thrown in regarding the county, the prosecuting attorney's office (keep in mind I know the entire county system) and that Monday (yesterday) I would be getting a visit to my workplace and then my residence.  Court paperwork is mailed and all that was mentioned was an affidavit. For those of you out there that are receiving these calls, they are illegal since they are harassing and any paperwork can be mailed to your residence.

Definate lawsuit time! When I called. the person on the other end said what is your phone number, then when I didn't answer he threw out a name that I nevr heard of and called me a dumbass! Time to put a stop to these idiots. How are these people even allowed to be in business. It sounds like some basement
scam operation of low life losers trying to scam money from people by threats and harrassment and
name calling.

NO! These guys are breaking the law lwft and right! They called my work telling the secretary my business then told her she better get me on the phone. they tried to tell me they were US process servers for the county and that they were coming to my work and to have 2 forms of ID and if I wasnt there they would have a sheriff arrest me! Then the supposed process server told me to hold on and he would transfer me to the attorney office. when the phone was transfered the exact same person came on the line acting like someone else and told me I was going to be arrested. When I told him I knew this was the same person that just toold me he was a process server and I know he is just trying to scare me he called me a SCUM BAG! This is also after I notified them to never call me at work again when 2 mos earlier they called with the samegame.

They called me today said a mike reynolds was a carrier with pcs and was stopping by my home between 5 and 6 with court documents foe me to sign and that i had better make sure any animals were locked up inside and i needed 2 forms of id? has anyone been served with anyhthing by these idiots? lol

got several calls from 877-290-9007, stating his name was mike pearson, calling from my county office, gave me the # to call back and ask to speak with an attorney to discuss the matter. i called back in 2 mins top and it was the same man that called earlier.....this is very scary!!!!!!

I recieved this same call from a Mrs. Benjamin.  It took a long time to get a 1st name of Lori.  Also probably fake.  they had a real account number and some information such as address changes etc. don't give them any extra info they can use to scam you.  They tried saying they would serve me papers at my work.  i told them I was unemployed(which isn't true) It was one threat after another.  They target bills you may have settled on and didn't pay the full amount as part of the settlement.  Then they try to tell you that partial payment wasn't accepted and then try to  "settle" with you.  It's comedy!
