Follow the steps in what you need to know below. I've pulled the info on this company and will post it below as a informational Post. Seems sketchy as I noted out of the 13 complaints filed with the BBB, 10 went unanswered by this company.

Seek a FDCPA/TCPA Attorney if need be.
***A company must be licensed in their state as well as the one they are trying to collect in if two different states are involved.
Some Tips:
*Keep all messages
*Take a picture of your Caller ID
*Keep any and all conversations recorded to your states recording laws, some require they be told, others do not. This can be transferred to a recording device.
*Keep a notebook handy for writing time,date, who you spoke with and what the conversation detailed.
*Check your SOL for your state as well.
*Attorneys need to be licensed as a DC to collect, all DC's must be licensed in their state as well as yours if different.

Just received a call and this is very fishy. Asking if someone would be available to accept a summons. Wanted us to take a pen and paper down to take down number. Don't call or give them your information. This is a scam to have you pay money that you did not need to.
A female called from this number and asked to speak to a relative of mine that I hadn't seen in 20 years. She said that my relative needed to call 1-800-980-8267 within 2 hours or a sheriff would pay her a visit with a warrant. She gave me a file number (RK36121) to be sure that my relative called in and used that number. What a heavy-handed scam. They are impersonating law enforcement officers via the telephone.
Today, my significant others mother called telling us both that she received a phone call from 305-417-6255, and that she was from the sheriffs office in Marathon, Florida. The lady asked her if she would be available to receive some legal documents in regards to me. She flat told the lady no way and disconnected the call.
My question and concern is how are these people obtaining information about people here in Washington State???? I don't know anyone in Florida and I have never lived there . I did some research online and discovered that this is indeed a scam and I would encourage that anyone who is victimized by these horrible thugs should contact the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as your local state attorney generals office, These people need to be turned in because they are impersonating law enforcement.
