I got a call from this number on 6/22 saying that there was a formal complaint against me, and to have two forms of id ready as attempts to deliver documents relating to this complaint would be made. They told me to call 844-712-2130 if I had any questions.
I got a very similar call from 214-200-4444 a few weeks ago.
Clearly a scam of some sort, I'm guessing you're supposed to call the alternate number and will then be asked to verify certain information about yourself and that's how they get your info.
I have been receiving these same calls continuously and daily. I finally took to google for research and glad I found this! They have new numbers....same scam.
Calls our office line multiple times a day, and appears to be originating from different numbers... The latest one's caller ID popped up as U P S (notice how the U P S is spaced out), no doubt to make you think it's UPS calling, and then the same old recorded message plays. Blah blah blah, 2 forms of ID, delivering documents, so forth and so on, call 844-712-2130 blah blah fricking blah.
I actualy spoke with a live individual. Told him i would be more than willing to accept the process serving at my local police station...Jason the caller said he didn't have time for this. Am only getting the recordings now and did not identify myself either.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.
According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.
The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.
