Several calls came in on Thursday October 9, 2014. Messages were left on my cell phone and my relatively new land line. Messages were ALSO left on cells phones belonging to my brother, my mom and my husband (she possibly called my other brother though no message was left - he answered the phone and no one seemed to be on the other end - this occurred around the same time as the other calls so we think it was her). The same message was left every time "Listen to this message very carefully. This is the Department of Verification calling in reference to Christine (she uses my maiden name, which is odd considering she called my husband of 11.5 years, and I have not used my maiden name in 11.5 years). This is in reference to case number 72770-OH (no such Ohio case number exists btw). Documents will be dispatched today to this location (what location? She didn't say. She called 5 or 6 different phone numbers what location is she even referring to?). If Christine will not be on site to sign for these documents, or if other information is needed, please contact the firm (yes, "The Firm" a John Grisham novel as well as a generic law firm designed to scare me into thinking I'm being sued, or worse) at 323-282-5892. You have been notified." (Or "served" I guess was her intention there). Someone less savvy than I might have been scared into calling back wherein the firm can proceed with more scare tactics and then eventually get a credit card number and other personal information. I am a little tempted to call back just to see what comes next. I reported this call to the FTC and if you get this call, you should too. There is nothing legit about any part of this phone call. The only thing that concerns me is that these criminals connected all these phone numbers together. Also, why is she picking on me I wonder. Where do they come up with that part??

A woman who never introduced her name called and left a message stating I have a pending case with riverside county court house with a case # CA 41419. One thing, the phone # is from a 323-282-5892. She even stated that this message is recorded. I went to the riverside county court house website and the case # never existed. I called back the # 323-282-5892 and a man answered with the name Darrel. This is a scam because she used my maiden name which I never used. THIS IS A SCAM!!! Please do not provide $.
received message today from a young woman stating that they, (never said who they are) wanted to verify that the address was correct for me to sign off on important documents.
other staff members at my job here have gotten similar calls. it appears as if this is some type of scam to try getting a person's information.
i signed up for the don't call on all phones: work/cell/home
they obviously have a way around this.
BEWARE-Do not give ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Pretending not to be me, I received message at my job asking to speak to my supervisor. I told them that they were out of the office. The woman then left the 323-282-5892 and said have the supervisor ask for Mr. Murray.
Just received a call from a "Restricted" number. I do not answer restricted calls, so I let it go to voicemail. Some guy who did not identify himself or his "firm" stated they were trying to reach me to settle a claim, but he provided an address where I haven't lived in THREE YEARS! This is a scam, because every creditor and agency that is current has my new address! DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR INFORMATION!!!
