Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.

2014 and this is still happening? Exact same story as above. What do you do?

Sandra,
I'm curious, did anything ever come from this?

I just got the same call from a Frank at ext. 205. They called my husband first and gave him the 2-hour summons hold crap and gave me the 888-980-8267 number. I called and said that someone was en-route to serve me with papers for a civil lawsuit from an old 2004 debt with Kay Jewelers. I was literally about to be calling them back with my debt card to pay $100 today and then $59 monthly payments when I plugged in this phone number and all of this stuff came up. Now if this turns out to be real I will print all of this out and take it to court with me and tell the judge I was afraid it was a scam. But all these people cant be wrong, right? Wow.. the things people will do to make a buck! Also, I called back and asked for the address. They gave me 19510 Van Buren Blvd, Riverside Ca. It is a business complex. I called a few of the other businesses there and no one had heard of them. The "Stipulation of agreement" that they sent to me didn't even have an address on there!

Just received a call from 214-504-3231 asking for my niece. She told me they needed to ascertain that there would be someone available to accept service of papers for a her because the sheriffs dept had instructions to serve her with a lawsuit filed against her. She aske if I could ask her to call 888-980-8267 and she gave me a case number. When I asked for the jurisdiction she could not tell me. She said she could put a 2-hour hold on service by sheriff but after that she could be served at home or at work. I told her to do what she must. Then I looked up the number and was surprise to see how these people are readin,g from a script. I called the 888-980-8267 number. Receptionist took case number and transferred me to "Austin Davis" who of course  could not discuss specifics so I asked how my number was selected for ahim I would relay no message and shame on them call. He said my number was associated with her in some way. I told him I would not relay message.

I have called them back with a different name and case number after they have fail to get my info on the first call. Appearanty they have a file for every name. Also if you block your number so they can't ID it. they will tell you a different name to the same file. So this is a pretty cleaver scamming group. so please let your friends and family know. Oh btw, first I call they are a financial company. second time i called they are immagrantion..

I got the same  story as all of you just two days ago but the guy callin me is a Tony Smith same ext 204 that you guys are getting from Jon Murdock told them i called police T & H then told me that my local police cant help me they have nothing to do with this if they dont have anything to do with then who is going to serve me with papers i hope these ppl are caught thank god i found this site before i sent money or gave them any info

this same "chris howard" called my parents 3 states away to get my contact information.  i am in the telephone book, but i live 3 states away.  my mom was in a panic.  they were mean to her.  i'm glad i looked this up online because i had a feeling it was nothing but creditor.. funny thing is, i'm in good standing with ALL of my bills, so i don't know what they are trying to pull..

I got the call from McKenny Texas saying something about papers blah blah the same stuff as above.  I had so much fun messing with that idiot!!!  I then pretended to be a transgender subject with a legal name change and messed with the dude on the 1-888 number.  I hope they call again that was fun!!

Just called my house for my sister in law and asked if she would be at home to receive legal documents from the sheriff's department. Caller ID says the call came from 214 504 3231

A GAL NAMED LINA CALLED FROM 888-980-8257 INQUIRING ON INFO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER/GRANDDAUGHTERS CASE  WE DID NOT GIVE ANY INFO I WOULD LIKE THIS COMPANY PUT OUT OF BUSINESS THE MORE POSTS WE CAN GET HOPEFULLY THIS CAN HAPPEN

I received a cal from my place of employment asking for the person in charge of receiving Legal documents. I happen to be the one who answered the call, how embarrassing that would of been if someone else picked up. I was told that their is a  warrant out for my arrest as well as a civil lawsuit. I told the lady that I never received an papers stating such information.  The woman gave me a case number and said that unless I call within the next two hours I would not only be arrested but sued. I was a bit scared, but remained calm.  When I called the number a man answered, and he explained that I have an outstanding bill since 2001. I began to converse with him. He said that since I never received the information that he would have to check with his supervisor in order to postpone the case. While I was put on hold, I hung up the phone. I prayed to my Heavenly father Jehovah, and I was able to think . Something told me to type in the phone number given, and I was able to see it was a bill collector. I read some of the things posted, so when the man called back , for I told him that I would not make any arrangements if I do not physically receive a letter stating my debt, to whom, etc. He than hung up on me.

This same thing happened today to my husband, some one called from a 214-504-3231 number from Texas and gave him a case# and told him to call this 888 # and told him that there was an outstanding balance on a Sprint phone bill from 2001. The caller verified my husband's last four of his ss# and said that he needed to take care of this matter of $300.00, along with the attorney fees and court costs in the amount of $2500.00. They even had an account # and asked for a cc to pay the fees. Of course my husband said no and we immediately called Sprint and the showed no record of my husband having in outstanding balance with them or the number given to us even being a good number. The originally caller even said that they were contracted from Sprint. BEWARE there are some major scum out there just trying to make a fast buck!!!

so guy just called my dad and said that i would be hearing from the cops if I didn't call this # so being a careing dad he asked is there anything I can help you with. as far as paying the bill for me. my husband is very sick with a heart problem and money is' 'very' ' tite! just didn't have the money so told the guy I guess send the cops. but for some reason I didn't feel right about the call so was going to call back and thought I should look this number up. and boy am I glad I did! ! I will be posting this on facebook for all to see don't always trust people even if they say their from some financial group! !! thanks everyone on here for your stories!  :)

You can call the number on the back of your card - if the call center is closed for the night, call as soon as they open!

Bank card or credit card - she needs to call the card company ASAP and cancel her card.  She also needs to report the callers to the FTC and her state's Attorney General.

It just happened to me about an hour ago, i decided to look up the #. I have a debit card , i tried to cancel it but they r only open certain hrs. I do not know what to do , I am so embaressed and worried.

2004 payday loan?  I found this web site that lists the statute of limitations on debts.  Very few are over 9 years.  http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/statuteLimitations.shtml

COPIED FROM A PREVIOUS POST:

These people and this company are in violation of the following:

1)  Misleading and deceptive practices.
2)  Failure to give the Mini Miranda.
3)  False sense of urgency.
4)  Demands for monetary amounts that are not contractually legal.
5)  Failure to send the consumer a written notice of the debt.

DO NOT GIVE THESE CROOKS YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD INFO!

Did you not read the other posts?  You must call up your credit card company and tell them to stop this payment to these scam artists.  Then get them to issue you a new card.  Do it now!!!

After that, report them to www.donotcall.gov.

they called my son and told him to have me call them back or they were going to serve papers and Sheriff to my home and place of work. And that if i didnt respond i would be going to court and end up paying about $3000.00.I do not know how they got my sons #.It scared me the way they threatened me. I ended up giving my card info to pay.

someone just called me from 347-980-8267 and asked me if i know a ....and i said yes how can i help you,the guy starts talking about my mother and saying that the sheriff dept has been trying to contact her and if they don't contact her in the next couple of hrs that the sheriff dept will start a case against her.I told the guy named Tom from accufield(lol), that i would relay the message and he said thank you, he was nice. Oh he told me to tell her to call 888-980-8267 RIGHT AWAY!!

I just got a call at work from this people. Some lady asked for my mom --who lives in a dif state than I. She said it was about a case and that she couldn't see the legal documents but that we needed to call. She gave me the same 888 # that everyone is taking about. I kept asking her what case & I asked her 4 times who she was calling for, she kept giving my my mother's name over and over. I scream WHO TOLD YOU TO CALL THIS #.....she said it was a legal document and she couldn't see who told her to call. I told her I couldn't help her and I hung up.

Got a call from this number at my fiancee's father's house in NJ. I don't live there, never have. I Don't know how they got that number, but they left a voicemail with a miami number saying i should call back this number.. shady stuff. don't trust them.

my ex wife got a call for me now i havent talked to ex wife in years.. and i had no idea of her number even.. said that he was gonna serve me if i dont pay.. bs

Never pay money to an alleged debt collector until they have MAILED via USPS mail, a debt validation letter giving name of original creditor, amount owed, date of loan, last payment date, and also whether their company is licensed and legally entitled to collect said debt in your state.  If they will not give you written proof that you do owe the debt to them, disregard.

I live in Washington state and I got the same call from someone claiming to be from the Sheriffs office saying that I owe money on a payday loan from 2005. That if I didn't call 888-980-8267 reference a case number and settle up on the case or face a law sute.  I called the number and talked with a person named John  Murdoch.  The rest you know.  Back in 2005 I was living on SSI disability and I didn't have a checking account.  Back then I only got $618. a month to live on.  Based on that amount no payday loan would give me a payday loan ($700 original loan) specially for more then I made total for a month back then.

Happened to me. I live in VA and some guy contacted my cousin in IN telling her if I didn't contact them a sheriff would come pick me up. I called him and i was told i owed $426 from a car title loan. He even had my social security number. After threatening me with lawyer fees and court costs he said I could settle right note. I told him he was full of crap and asked him when this alleged court case was. He quickly hung up. It bugs me this guy had my social.

this just happened to me an hour ago.....i called verizon afterwards, they said they were working for verizon and that i had an outsanding bill. nope,,,,,,just losers with no jobs scamming hardworking people.....what can we do about this???? said they would send cops to my house.....frank dalton was his name....

My mother received a call looking for me. I live in a different state and haven't lived at home for over 15 years. They told her that I needed to contact 1-888-980-8267 and reference my case# to avoid further action. My mom naturally worried called me to let me know. I googled the 888# and found all of your WONDERFUL comments. I advised my mom to HANG UP on them if they call back. This is sometype of SCAM!!!!
