Some guy claimed he,was Justin from an investigation firm to serve sealed documents on me if I didn't call 866-214-6097. I told him I was relaxing and he said since I'm relaxing I could just call, he said he was in his car riding my way to deliver the papers if I didnt hurry and call. I said I was gonna finish my nap and by time he got here I could get the papers. He got frustrated and hung up.
Caller asked to speak with the "direct manager of Employee Xxx". This employee is a frequent target of illegal collection scams. Caller said she wanted information on company protocol for presenting a claim. The red flags were waving furiously at this point. I told her she would need to have a claim presented by a sheriff's deputy. She tried to be intimidating, but I held ground. What she was really after was personal information about the employee's home address and phone number. In NC, it is against the law to give out personal information about employees.
BTW: telling the switchboard operator that you will be presenting someone with a claim is a violation of federal law. Also, no self-respecting process server calls ahead to announce their intentions. These are all very clear indications of a Criminal Operation. Don't be intimidated. Tell them to use legal avenues and then Hang Up. They're nothing but crooks and you DON'T have to play.
