lady Cheryl McQuay saying my name, ss# are involved in a case and that they sent legal documentation to my home, last attempt to contact and legal complications will take place. Ended it with good luck. Sooo sick of these people
ID themselves as Legal Mediations. No such company that I can find. Something called Legal Mediations has a history of debt scamming on 800notes. They use a variety of CIDs and make threats of arrest and so forth. Ignore them and block their calls. Do not return the calls.
Just because a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt does not mean you owe it
If a voice on the telephone claims you owe a debt:
1. Demand the person give you his or her name, company name, and address
2. Demand a debt validation letter by US mail. E-mail no good.
3. Do not pay the collection agent or anyone else a DIME until the debt is validated.
Of course they won’t do this, no scammer ever will, so simply block their calls and ignore them.

Also contact your local attorney general
If they continue to bother you, and you know you do not owe any money, tell them that you know this is a debt scam and that you are making a complaint to the police for extortion. You might have to yell at the scammer and talk over him or her. Once you get a copy of the police report and they call you again , just read out the file number and the name of the PD or Sheriff’s office involved. Tell them you’ll be glad to send a copy to them at whatever address the jack***es are working out of now.
