Received a call looking to speak to someone from [my work] concerning [me]. When I told them I was whom they were looking for, they told me they were calling to arrange to meet and serve me paperwork to appear in court. Furthermore, if I didn't want them to show up and serve me at work, I needed to call: 844-587-7461 within two hours and re-schedule. I have excellent credit and no delinquent debt so I don't know why they are calling me.
Confused, I looked up the 844 number and it shows up a as a possibly scam. So I tried calling the 706-7700 number back and was received by a female automated voice stating: "You have reached a number that is currently not in service. Thank you"

Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process. They will deliver the notification without warning.
Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam
"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."
"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."
Thank you for the additional information. What you are saying confirms my understanding. I was horrified when I initially got the call but the moment I ended the call, thought "wait, a minute..."
I have not called the 844 number and have blocked the 210 number. I just wanted to post my experience with the number as there was no history when I searched for it.
