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.

They called from a "unknown" number and left voice message. They were calling from "QRS" they needed to set up delivery of legal documents, that there was a refusal to sign on previously mailed documents on my behalf. That I needed to call within the same day to avoid any further legal issues or complications. They left this number (424) 209-9574
I received a voice mail from a woman from QRS. She said that because somebody had previously refused to sign on my behalf for legal documents, a scheduled delivery now has to be made in order to avoid more legal actions. She left the phone number (424) 209-9574 and a claim number.
I suspected a scam, but who knows what my ex-husband could be up to, so I asked my son if anybody came to the house while I was out of town for a week. He said no. I have not called this number but researching online.
