Called saying they needed to verify my address so they could serve me. The lady stated that she was with the processing and legal department of some company(?), and if i didn't call back, i was waiving my right to take care of this outside of court. They have called me before from different numbers. I called back once and requested that the information be mailed to me, but she refused, offering only to e-mail me the info. I told her anyone can forge an e-mail, and stated i would onlly accept snail-mail. Lady became rude to me and i hung up.
They were telling me it was concerning a payday loan. I've never had a payday loan, and doubt i could qualify for one as i'm on disability.
I think it's some kind of racket! It doesn't make any sense!
This number was left by someone stating they were Mary Jane a process server for the state of IL. I'm supposed to be listed as a witness to appear in court regarding fraudulent charges that are supposedly pending. I don't see anyone listing this number here. She is supposed to be working for a company (she sounds like she intentionally garbles the name of the firm) that is a process server for the state of IL.I haven't decided whether to call back or not since I don't think servers EVER call you first. That is the point of being served. Called from 708-843-8028.

This is not correct, at least not in the USA. I have been served more than once (civil - resulted in garnishment, paid now, not criminal) and they did in fact call me. They were polite, open and gave the information I needed to know they were not BS scammers. (One was an off duty sherrif's deputy - kinda scary until I learned he was "moonlighting" as a process server and the other was a friendly young woman.)
I met with them, got the papers, didn't go to court (because I couldn't pay them at that point and garnishment was acceptable as a last gasp way of getting it paid) and garnishment was the only result. Know your rights and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) people! Don't get scammed.
This is yet another phone number for a BS fake bill collector. I have experience with the real thing and with scammers - real bill collectors will not hide their name, mailing address, company name, original creditor name, etc.
If the "collector" isn't up front with details, they are fake - DO NOT PAY A PENNY.
