Common extortion scam is all. Nothing's there to get excited about. Don't take part in them and ignore the call entirely, answering machine included. They can't do anything without a participant other than give up after a while.
Mike Taylor called from United Express Courier service. Stated I needed to call this number to 716-382-7693 to stop him from delivering legal papers to my home or office. Once I called the number and took care of this, I was to make sure they (at the number) sent him a cease and desist so he would not show up with the legal documents. Nothing comes up with this number when I google it and United Express Courier service only delivers in the Wisconsin, Illinois area and I live in Michigan. I'm so tired of these phone calls, I'm going to have to change my number. BTW - his number came up as "private" on my phone so I can't check it. Anyone out there know what this is all about? I think it's a scam since I don't have anything outstanding.

got a call from this number and he said my daughter needed to call or her attorney at once this is the second time we have gotten calls like this from the same number using different names this one being ERG whatever that is ignore this call it is a scam
Got the same call as Lori only it was not Mike, it was someone different. I dont get what they are looking to achieve, do people give them cc to pay a debt that they don't have?
I got the same call.. Mine was from Joe Harris stating he was from United Express Courier Service. Company has been retained to service me with legal documents. They are supposedly coming tomorrow between 9am and noon. Didn't say what address they were going to, said if it was a problem.. I needed to contact the plaintiff directly to reschedule the order. Plaintiff? That made me wonder.. He said then if 'He' didn't get the call back he would be out tomorrow morning. He then stated that I should call 716-382-7693, and I would need to forms of ID and that my supervisor should be present at my place of employment. (I hope my supervisor shows up to work tomorrow.. still not sure where they were delivering to). He then stated I have been legally notified.
I do know this is a scam. They have tried this from similar numbers .. as I had the same call come in from 716-382-7692. He came across as unknown caller today, but I actually recognize the person's voice. The last time this occurred, I called the business they said they were representing as I wanted to find out if this was real. I went to the souce, as they gave a legitimate business name. They knew nothing of what I was talking about, and had me report what had occurred to their fraud prevention group.
