Several users have reported receiving calls from scammers posing as "process servers" or claiming to represent legal entities. The callers often provide a fake case number, threaten legal action over old debts, and pressure victims into making payments or revealing personal information. Common tactics include creating a sense of urgency by referencing pending legal matters, claiming documents are sealed, and attempting to scare victims by mentioning they might be served at work. Despite providing accurate debt details, these calls are fraudulent, especially when the caller’s number shows as private or unavailable. It’s crucial to remain cautious if contacted by unknown numbers or if the caller’s story seems suspicious. Never share personal information or make payments without verifying the legitimacy of the claim. Always double-check with your local courthouse or creditor to confirm any legal actions. If unsure, hang up and report the incident. Stay alert to avoid falling for these scams.
These scammers create a sense of urgency by mentioning a allegedly pending legal matter, supposedly requiring immediate attention, and claiming to be process servers who cannot disclose further information due to sealed files.
I recieved the same message today, and I'm looking into it before returning the call, as I suspect it might be a scam, posible
A call from a number showing all zeros on my caller ID was concerning, especially since the caller claimed there was a pending lien on my vehicle and needed my signature.
similiar thing happend to me, had a bad experiance
Initially, a phone call from a unknown number asked me when they could serve me 'papers' for a civil lawsuit, and then they gave me this 855 number, which i called, and it was a recorded line, probaly a scam.
After receiving a call from a private number, I was given this 855 number to call back, where I was told I owed Americredit funds, which I disputed, and the caller became belligerent before I ended the call, clearly a scam.
The individuals behind this number pose as process servers, referencing a fictitious case number, and are attempting to deceive people.
