Legitimate process servers do not call to warn you, or to get money from you to stop the process. They will deliver the notification without warning.
Click the "Confuse" link, below, to learn how to validate the call, or confuse any "process server scammer"
ConfuseIf you want to confuse any "process server" scammer, or validate the information, ask these questions of the caller:
What is the name of the person or company suing me?What is the reason for the suit?What is the name and address of the issuing Court?What is the phone number of the District Clerk's office where this process is registered?
Then, check those answers against the real District Clerk info you find on the Web, for your County. Or, ask the County District Clerk to tell you if you have a process being served.

Also, if you were threatened with an "arrest warrant" via a phone call or email, read this:
http://news.uscourts.gov/warning-arrest-warrant-scam
"The warrant is phony. A valid warrant would not be served by fax or e-mail. It would be served in person by a U.S. Marshal or other law enforcement officer."
"Anyone receiving a fake arrest warrant should contact the FBI or the district U.S. Marshals Office. If there is any question regarding the authenticity of a warrant, contact your district clerk of court."
Definitions, if you need 'em:
A summons is an official notice of a lawsuit. It is given to the person being sued (the defendant).A subpoena is a court order. It requires someone to come to court, go to a deposition, or give documents or evidence.Papers or documents are words sometimes used by scammers, as scare words. Legal documents can be sent via Certified mail. A courier is not absolutely necessary, although the Sheriff, Constable, or a Bonded Licensed Process Server might be used. Such people will have appropriate ID.
