“There are a lot of scammers who make phone calls and make people think they`re a big company or that they owe them money,” said Hilda Martínez, president of the Better Business Bureau. He was a living person talking on the voicemail. Do you still think it`s a scam? Recently, one of our customers received the following voicemail from a scammer posing as a process server. This was particularly worrisome for her because she had recently been sued by a debt buyer (who quickly resigned when we were involved). However, a few months after the court was released, this scammer called our client and her family about the same alleged debts. Our client knew that he should not accept the word of a scammer for a debt and called us instead of calling him back. Often, these scammers illegally access your credit reports or use public folders to give them more information about you in an attempt to get you paid and harass your loved ones. Don`t fall for it. Require them to provide you with their website and physical address so you can write to them to validate the debt.

If not, tell them: 1) not to call you back, 2) that you believe they are scammers, and 3) that you reported them to the FTC and CFPB. You are right. I know it`s you. And they`re right. I just didn`t want any misunderstandings in the thread, just in case anyone saw this in relation to their own situation. They are absolutely right to know why they used to call. That`s always the logic I`ve applied. They want you to be surprised so they can actually serve you. If you know in advance, you can leave or move.

I live in the state of Missouri and there is nothing under my name in a participating court in Missouri when I case.net A viewer received this voicemail and returned the call only to be scammed for $2,000.

I never asked where I was or how I could find myself. I thought they thought that if my friend called me panicked, I would believe him and make him look more real. I just told them to ignore it and block the number. As I said, for me, the gift was that they contacted my friends and told them nothing but a callback number and a file number. If you are served, do you think the person doing the service would call you before you used the service? Who would be at home or at their employer`s house? Have you also tried to contact your employer personally, as they threatened? I bet you`ll never see a service processor, either at home or at your workplace.

Service processors will never call you to notify you that you are being served. Instead, they show up and serve you. In addition, they never call your friends to tell them that they have papers to serve and why. They would simply ask your friends where they can find you. If you want to be sure, search for a case under your name on the website of the county court where you live. If no case arises, that should tell you what the situation is. If your district court does not allow online business search, call the clerk and ask, the staff will tell you. So yes, we think it`s a scam because what they say doesn`t follow the process of running the courts and prosecutions.

You are free to call the number and tell them you want to be served on the steps of the courthouse and see how they behave.

I included that in my original description. I understand what you are both saying, but it is not relevant here. No need to focus on this part. I still think you`re right, it`s a scam.

The weird thing is that they said the complaint was against my spouse, but it doesn`t really make sense because they called my phone and most of our debts are in my name. His only debts are medical debts. Personally, I wouldn`t worry about it unless you`ve actually done something wrong that you know with the number of scams at an all-time high, I`d just ignore that until it gets worse, because if it`s true and they need to contact you, they`ll find a way to do it.

And if you don`t hear anything more than you know, that`s probably fine. – `A complaint has been filed against you` – I`ve never dealt with any of this, but only this particular wording doesn`t sound at all professional.
