Who called from 2136326510

calls cell phone

LPS is using this number as well.
A man showed up at my old place of employment yesterday and said he was there to "serve" me. I haven't worked at this place for over two years! My old coworker called me and gave me the contact information. It was the phone number above and the contact for LPS was named Keith. I called and left a message because it went to his voicemail. I'm going to call him tomorrow and rip him a new one, after I report them.

No address?

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.

If you have their contact info. give us their physical address. Things get much more "fun" for fraudulent debt collectors when their physical address is known. Call your local county clerk of courts offices. Inquire as to if a civil summons has been issued in your name. If one has not, contact a consumer attorney immediately. One can be found that will take the case "on contingency". No money up-front. If this outfit sent someone to a supposed employer posing as process server in an attempt to coerce you to pay an invalid/bogus debt, or in the aim of causing you embarrassment, they have done more than simply violate the FDCPA. An attorney will advise you as to where to take this, but I can assure you that it will involve much more than the meager $1000 + costs that violations of the FDCPA will typically provide.
File those complaints with the AG in your state, the FTC, the CFPB &, if you can locate these jokers, have an attorney have them served and...slap 'em silly!

LPSG
LPS Scam
This group of scammers has a long history on 800notes.
Known for:
• Constantly calling you at work when you have asked/told them not to.
• Revealing your debt to third parties.
• Leaving messages and not revealing they are a debt collector.
• Threatening a lawsuit when they do not intend on bringing one.
• Claiming that you can or will be arrested if you do not pay the debt.
• Claiming that a judgment will occur immediately if you do not pay.
• Claiming that they can garnish your wages if you do not pay.
• Claiming that they will put a lien on your house if you do not pay.

Demand a debt validation letter if they call you and demand it be sent by US mail.  E-mail no good.  Of course , they won't do this.
Do not pay them anything w/o such a letter, if you have paid them anything or are  in the process of paying them anything, it might be a good idea to simply stop paying them.  Any credit or debt cards numbers they have should simply be cancelled and new ones obtained.

These people are serious debt scammers.
Report them:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0149-debt-collection
Also report them  to the California Attorney General:
http://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/collection_agencies10

If they continue to bother you, tell them that you know this is  a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion.  Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the  file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved.   Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the [***] are working out of now.
