Recent complaints reveal a pattern of callers claiming to be a process server and fabricating a legal threat to pressure victims. They often know the last four digits of a Social Security number and cite bogus reference numbers, aiming to extract money or personal information. Hang up immediately, avoid sharing any personal data, and block the number. Report the incident to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency. Verify any genuine legal notices by contacting the court or attorney directly using official contact details. Stay skeptical of urgent demands and remember legitimate process servers never call ahead to negotiate fees.
The same experience as others, including Natalie, and upon investigation, no legitimate issue was found
I had a similar call from Natalie at the process service team, who even contacted my sister, claiming she was listed as a reference. However, I never listed my sister as a reference for anything.
Similar to others, I received a call from this number claiming they were attempting to serve me with legal papers, which is undoubtedly a scam.
These scammers claim to have received a fax or complaint, threatening legal action to create a sense of urgency, and then attempt to extort money from their victims

A voicemail was recieved, containing similar claims, and a request to hold, which prompted me to terminate the call, as I beleive it to be a scam
I got a call about a legal complaint filed against me, it sound like a scam about a process and servicing division.
