Have had to different places call saying I owed I debt that had already been payed but both places are threating to call reference people and employer both places wanting 700 dollars for 350 dollars debt  night er will mail anything but send email saying I owe

They called me months ago telling me if I did not pay my debt, I was going to be served an brought to court. I was sooo scared I had no idea what was going on.. But they were really threating me.. So I fell into what I know now is a SCAM!! I've gave them over 400 dollars! Paying $75 every two weeks!! Enough is enough! I will not pay another cent to these F&$king people!!!! I don't know who they are BUT they are still calling me telling me I owe them money an in order to avoid "being served" I would have to pay them!! At this point they don't care how much I can give as long as I give them $$$.. I stated catching on when they were calling me from diff numbers an leaving voicemails with diff numbers.. I feel like a fool!!! How did I know!!?

Same as above called me at our work and asked me about an employee and threatening to serve papers at work. They called form 877-614-4934 and gave case number 263647 . Said he needed to call them immediately.

Thank you so much for you help.  I am so glad that i didnt give them any information except an old prepaid card number.  I will look everything up and report them.

No, it's not legitimate!  NEVER pay money to anyone unless they send you a debt validation letter showing original creditor, date of debt, how much is owed, last payment made, etc.  Demand they also mail you a copy of the original contract you signed with the original creditor, showing your signature.  

They also have to be licensed to collect in your state.  If they refuse to MAIL you this legally required information, then tell them you're reporting them for violations of the FDCPA (look it up and read to learn your rights).  DO report them to the FTC and your state's Attorney General.

This is a scare tactic scammers use to frighten people into calling them back and setting up payment for debts that either bogus, already paid off, or outwith the statute of limitations for collection.  Never give money to anyone unless they mail you (not fax or email) proof that you owe the debt and that they are legally entitled to collect said debt.  

Since they have violated the FDCPA by threatening you and leaving this message with your supervisor, I would report them to the FTC and your state's Attorney General.  I would also let them know that they've been reported and that you are recording all calls they make to you (even if you aren't).  

And the biggest reason they are scammers - NO ONE gives a heads up that someone is going to be either served or arrested.  You can't "serve" someone via voicemail!  That's just ridiculous!

I received a message from Ms Black Statewide Mediation said it was important for me to return the call to let her know of my place of employment and home address. The call came up Private.

These people spoke with my minor child leaving a threating message scaring her in disbelief. I can't believe they would do that to a child. I do not want them calling my home anymore.

Jacqueline left a message on my answering machine, stated that were looking for my niece.  Left a case number and that charges are being made against her and she has been served.  Really?!

called me today 5/30/13 and told me that i will be served if i dont take care of this today.  they also said that i can do this by a prepaid debit card.  does anyone know if this is really legit.  I told them let me verify the info first

legally they are not allowed to tell your employer anything

called my supervisor and left the following message:
To whom it may concern:

On May  21,  2013 11:41 the following was left  on my supervisors voice mail.  ?This information is for the manager of xxxxxxxxxxx  in reference to case number # xxxxxxx,  my name is  Alex Black  I am calling because I need to know the protocol for  service of process.  It seems to be your employee Ms xxxxxx has some charges files against her. This is her final chance to contact the mediation company at 1/877-614-4934 reference case # xxxxxxx . Ms xxxxxx you have been served!?

Looking at the dates on complaints, it looks like this scam has just started. What is everyone else doing about this? Is anyone reporting them to authorities?

Claims to be a law firm that is going to serve papers against my ex-husband (that I divorced 11 years ago and have had NO contact) Have called twice and left threatening messages. Even if this was for real, do they really think I would help that smuck??!!!
