A woman who never introduced her name called and left a message stating I have a pending case with riverside county court house with a case # CA 41419. One thing, the phone # is from a 323-282-5892. She even stated that this message is recorded. I went to the riverside county court house website and the case # never existed. I called back the # 323-282-5892 and a man answered with the name Darrel. This is a scam because she used my maiden name which I never used. THIS IS A SCAM!!! Please do not provide $.
I got a phone call from work with the private number verifying if i will be here so they can serve me document. I told her if you need to serve me paper is it even legal to do it at my job. So she said to contact 323 282-5892 and gave me the case#. I also asked what it is about she said she has no information about it but it says it's LDA group. I google this company but nothing comes up.
These people called my mom looking for me or my husband. Told her they did not want me to miss my court date and provided a case#. While I was on the phone with her they called my cell phone and left an "Official" notification with a different case # saying that I would be served at this location- what location -this is a cell phone?!- and that this was my notification that I was served.- ah ok. Do not have any outstanding debt so not sure what kind of scam this is.
If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

Several calls came in on Thursday October 9, 2014. Messages were left on my cell phone and my relatively new land line. Messages were ALSO left on cells phones belonging to my brother, my mom and my husband (she possibly called my other brother though no message was left - he answered the phone and no one seemed to be on the other end - this occurred around the same time as the other calls so we think it was her). The same message was left every time "Listen to this message very carefully. This is the Department of Verification calling in reference to Christine (she uses my maiden name, which is odd considering she called my husband of 11.5 years, and I have not used my maiden name in 11.5 years). This is in reference to case number 72770-OH (no such Ohio case number exists btw). Documents will be dispatched today to this location (what location? She didn't say. She called 5 or 6 different phone numbers what location is she even referring to?). If Christine will not be on site to sign for these documents, or if other information is needed, please contact the firm (yes, "The Firm" a John Grisham novel as well as a generic law firm designed to scare me into thinking I'm being sued, or worse) at 323-282-5892. You have been notified." (Or "served" I guess was her intention there). Someone less savvy than I might have been scared into calling back wherein the firm can proceed with more scare tactics and then eventually get a credit card number and other personal information. I am a little tempted to call back just to see what comes next. I reported this call to the FTC and if you get this call, you should too. There is nothing legit about any part of this phone call. The only thing that concerns me is that these criminals connected all these phone numbers together. Also, why is she picking on me I wonder. Where do they come up with that part??
Hey Chris! I am the brother in question from Christine's call described above.
Now being a week later, I MYSELF receive a "Restricted" call and immediately know what's up, so I let it go to voicemail. Sure enough, I have a message from "Allen Moore from Process Verification" who has "legal paperwork that requires my signature" and is being delivered to "this address". If any info needs changed I can call "The Issuing Firm" at 323-282-5892 regarding "Case Number 72770OH-14".
Now to find out who else they called about my "case"...
This crap is obviously bogus and I will be reporting it to every legal entity I can.
