Recent spikes in texts from +18777705901 show a clear pattern of fraudulent debt‑collection claims. Callers repeatedly cite looming legal threat, use vague company names, and push recipients to call a 877‑770‑5901 line for “resolution.” The scripts often mention “process servers,” “law firms,” or “Empire Merchant Solutions LLC,” but provide no verifiable case numbers or court documentation. Consumers should treat any unsolicited demand for payment as suspicious, verify the debt directly with the original creditor, and never share personal or financial details over the phone. If the messages persist, reply STOP, block the number, and report the activity to the FTC or your state attorney general.
I got a text message from a number, it used my last name, saying they need to take further action, I dont know what they want, they provided a reply number, I didnt respond.
Following my experience, I received a text stating 'despite prior contact; we still have no resolve. There is no other choice but further action. Contact us at 877-770-5901'.
I have had a similar experience
It appears this number is associated with a criminal debt collector based in New York.
I recieved a text from this number about some legal issues, and they told me to call them back, but after some reseach, I found out it was a scam, and I was able to unsubscribe by texting 'stop'.
Despite previous contact, they texted me again, now I have no choice but to take legal action, they have my name but no other info, and I've been blocking them all week.
Recurring texts have been received from this number, as well as from local numbers, claiming a debt from 20 years ago and threatening legal action if not paid, which appears to be a scam.
They sent me a text saying i had an unpaid balence and that they needed to take legal action, but when i called them, it was a suposed law firm
Scammers use tactics like claiming to be process servers with pending legal actions to create urgency, asking for money to resolve the issue, and threatening to serve papers at home or work, which are all false claims.
The decision not to post the calling number in the relevant thread raises questions.
Text messages from 208-428-5210 are threatening legal action, but appear to be spam since no company name or account is provided
