I recived a phone call from unknown number number was blocked. My wife recived the same phone call in her phone that I was been sued. They left a phone number and case number 888 239 6853. I called the number and they don't know nothing about what I was talking about. It seems like a scam I will be home waiting for them if they do show up I will call the cops.

Real servers do not call you or your friends or relatives. You can not be arrested for a owing a debt, its a civil matter.
Section 809 of the FDCPA http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf requires 3rd-party debt collectors to give debtors written notice of debt (the key word is *shall*) :
"§ 809. Validation of debts
(a) Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing?
(1) the amount of the debt;
(2) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed;
(3) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector;
(4) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector; and
(5) a statement that, upon the consumer?s written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor."

Use Abusive or Threatening Language
A debt collector may no use abusive or profane language in the course of communication related to the debt.
Publish a Bad Debt List
Publishing the consumer?s name or address on a "bad debt" list is prohibited.
Contact By Embarrassing Media
A debt collector may not communicate with a consumer by post card. It may not use any language or symbol, other than the debt collector?s address, on any envelope when communicating with a consumer by use of the mails or by telegram. A debt collector may use its business name if such name does not indicate it is in the debt collection business.
Contact a Consumer at Work
A collection agent may not communicate with consumers at their place of employment after being told this is unacceptable or prohibited by the employer.
Seek Unjustifiable Amounts
A debt collector may not demand any amounts not permitted under an applicable contract or as provided under law.

Bills.com FDCPA FAQ
Below are questions Bills.com readers ask frequently:
Can a Collection Agent Call My Cell Phone?
Yes. However, if you tell the debt collector it may not use that number because it is a cell phone, it may not contact you again at that number.
I Keep Receiving Dozens of Calls From Collection Agents. Is That Legal?
No. Unscrupulous collection agents will use "block parties" or "office parties" where they contact a consumer, multiple neighbors, or co-workers telling them they need to reach the consumer on an urgent matter. This is not permitted under the FDCPA.
A Collector Says I Will Be Arrested if I Do Not Pay
This was a true statement before the US Civil War, but has not been true since. People may be arrested if an aggressive judge files a bench warrant for a person who does not appear at a hearing relating to a lawsuit regarding a debt. However, in that case, the offense is the failure to respond to a court order, and not the existence of the debt. As stated above, it is illegal under the FDCPA to threaten a consumer with arrest if the consumer does not pay the debt.

Got call from daniel carrigan stating he was going to serve me papers from the tbg group. Said if I was not availbale he would have to contact local law enforcement. He also contacted my roommate which really freaks me out! Makes me feel uncomfotable being home!
| Linda 2013-09-16 14:12:14 Unknown |
I received a call from Daniel Carrigan stating I was being sued. He left a case number and telephone number to call on. This call was very intimidating, scary to be honest.I was not even trying to call back I have idea how my telephone number was found because it's private and a cell phone.
| Irritated 2013-08-07 21:58:33 Unknown |
This man Daniel Carrigan called my mothers house, not sure how in the world he got this number, I have not lived there for over 10 years, also called my old cell phone number which my son uses and said I have court on Friday. Today is wednesday, I am pretty sure if I had court on Friday I would be aware of this. Scary call to get, he didn't leave any detailed information, just sounded threatening and scary. Gave me an 888 number to call and a case number for what I am not sure of. After reading these other comments I am definitely NOT going to be calling him back. I am thankful that these other people have experienced this same phone call so now I know not to contact him.
| Irate 2013-07-25 14:12:18 Unknown |
This "Daniel Carrigan"has called my home and my cell and my husbands work and my work and told everyone that he is serving me papers to appear in court. Do not believe him. He is a scam. He was supposed to serve me on the 23rd of July and he never showed up at my home or place of employment. According to a attorney I talked to they said to never show your drivers license to anyone cause they will write the number down and use it against you. This is a cam. He can't do what he is doing. I can't emphasize enough to not show anyone anything. He is a harasser and a bully. Don't listen to him
| coder 2013-07-12 18:52:58 Unknown |
This Daniel Carrigan called and left voice mail on phone for my ex. Stating he will be out to serve legal court document that I have to sign on a certain date at the residence or work.. SERIOUSLY!! Blocked #'s, etc. This is yet another scam that people usually fall for. I'm not giving them any information for my ex or anyone else for that matter. Process servers do NOT call ahead of time. Ridiculous!
| Miss bea 2013-06-21 08:51:46 Unknown |
This guy calls my home looking for my son I have a private number so I don't know how he got the number also saying he needs to serve my son papers by the 20th of this month then the stupid person says make sure he has his identification with him when I come to his home & ask if the address he said was my son's correct address he claims to be an Attorney. Of course we all know a Officer of the court that Serves people notice to appear in court doesn't tell you their looking to serve you by a certain date nor do they say make sure they have ID Whomever these people are if they are reading these post YOU WILL BE CAUGHT THIS IS A SERIOUS CRIME AS I CAN SEE THEY ARE A MULTIPLE OF PEOPLE IF ANYONE COMES TO YOUR HOME CALL 911 DONT LET THEM IN OR GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION DO NOT SIGN ANY PAPERS OR EXCEPT ANY FROM THEM REMBER DONT LET THEM INTO YOUR HOUSE. I HOPE THIS PERSON IS READING THIS "DANIEL CARRIGAN" IT WOULD BE VERY UNLIKELY FOR YOU TO SHOW UP AT MY HOME OR CONTINUE TO CALL PEOPLE PHONES THE CRIME IS ALREADY DONE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN YOU ARE A THREAT SO I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO BELIEVE "SELF DEFENSE IS NOT A CRIME" BUT STALKING, & HARRASSMENT IS,
| Heather 2013-06-14 13:06:45 Unknown |
A process server saying he will be at me house to serve official court documents. A real process server is not gonna tell you when they are coming to serve you. SCAM
