Well here is your chance to do something.
This is a common ploy by criminals attempting to extort money from people by scaring you into believing that you will be criminally charged, go to jail, lose your driver’s license, have wages garnished, be sued, and a variety of other variations on this, all for an alleged or nonexistent debt. One of the tricks they use is to call your work place repeatedly in an attempt to shame you into paying. They also use the “process server” who calls and claims he is going to serve you, but then says you could avoid it by calling another number.
Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) 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.

Called my cell number and a man stated he was a Massachusetts process server, I immediately knew it was a scam since it was a Florida number. Told me it was a second attempt to serve legal documents to a Brian Anderson. I told him he had the wrong number and be proceeded to tell me this person had listed my address as a family member & repeatedly asked me if I would be home tomorrow so i just hung up. He then called me more times back to back! I kept declining the call & thankfully they haven't called back
I received 3 calls from this number this morning: 2 to my cell and 1 to my landline, all within minutes of each other. I ignored all calls because it was from Miami FL, and a number I didn't recognize. "Maria" left messages on both of my lines, claiming they had documents to serve me at work, so I need to be sure to have identification. Well, since I've been disabled for over 15 years, I knew it was a scam.
However, what made me angry, after having no luck with either of my numbers, this "Maria" then called my daughter!!! Like me, my daughter doesn't answer calls she doesn't recognize, but "Maria" left a voicemail message saying the same crap she said in the messages to me. Needless to say, this scared my daughter because she didn't know what to think. I explained it was a scam, and told her to block the number.
I have no idea how they got my daughter's cell number. How dare they call her! It's bad enough to bother me, but I find it inexcusable that they called my daughter.
A company call CNA keeps calling me about a debt on a credit card that I have never had. They have also contacted my employer and family members saying that they have a summons to deliver to me and that I have to call them within 1 hour. When I called and asked them to validate the debt, they hang up. The number is 877-453-9086
