This is same same scammer procedure operating under302-394-9172, 804-554-1032, 213-260-9483. They call wanting to deliver some court papers. The person is unknown to me. I finally contacted the phone company to block the first three numbers and within 2 hours they had moved to this number and called again. They want to verify that you will be home so papers can be delivered. It doesn't do any good to tell them to quit calling--they won't I've been awakened up to six times per week with their calls. I've reported to the AG of Texas. U.S. government. They will drain your bank account if you give them any information. It is supposedly in regard to an old payday loan. IT'S A SCAM.
I've been getting phone calls from numbers I don't know. I've looked them up on line and found this site and found that the caller wants to deliver legal documents and that's it's a scam.
They never leave a message. The number of times I've seen they called, if they really had legal documents, they would have delivered them by now.
I got a call from this number this afternoon and I answered it. I was told that they're going to deliver legal documents for Hector someone and wanted to know if he'd be home tomorrow to receive them. I said, "Yeah, totally," since I knew it was a scam and would take them off of their script.
The caller then complained to me about my use of sarcasm. I told him I knew about these scammy phone calls. He said it wasn't a scam. I asked him what the legal documents were about. He told me he could only tell Hector. I asked him why he didn't just ask for Hector when I answered the phone. And I asked again what the documents were in reference to.
He again told me he could only tell Hector and asked me if I was Hector, so I said yes. Then, he told me I wasn't Hector because Hector's a man's name. I asked him what company he was with (I couldn't understand what he said) and if the company had a website. He told me he couldn't give me the website for security reasons.
The phone call went on like this for 3 1/2 minutes! I have no idea what the point of this scam is. Hopefully, I didn't accidentally give them everything they wanted. But it was kind of entertaining to hear how flustered the guy was when I called him out of stuff.
IT'S A SCAM, do NOT give them any information. This is same scammer procedure operating under all the following: 212-204-1389, 302-394-9172, 312-614-1344, 347-783-5486, 804-554-1032, 832-582-3099, & 972-528-7419. They call wanting to deliver some court papers. I tell them you have not showed up yet. It is supposedly in regard to an old payday loan, which I do not have. I use a call block app after telling them that I know it is a scam, so keep changing your # & keep calling me because I am recording & reporting each call & # to the FTC & FBI. I am not threatening...I am reporting them.
this caller is calling me saying they have documents to serve me but can't tell me what they are. they have been very nasty on the phone when asking the details of the paperwork.
They call all the time!!! Never leave a message, never pick up a return call, never identify themselves or company!!! They talk to you about having a people deliver court papers...it never happens. They are a scam and need to be reported to the Federal Trade Commission as many times as the call. Record conversations you may have with them, take down times and dates of calls, and give as many details to the FTC site as you can. I have seen 3 numbers so far, sure they are off the net as they have a Delaware, Texas, and Florida.
I have received this same call twice now and really annoyed by this. I know that it has to be a scam of some sort as I have no legal issues. If anyone can find out how to stop these people or who they are, please update this thread! I'm glad I decided to Google this and find out it is happening to more people than just myself. Today they used 786-358-5269 to call me from. I'm grateful I'm able to tell this is some kind of scam and I tell them I'm not calling anyone, that I have no legal issues, never received any papers, and if it is true, then just resend the papers. Then I immediately hang up on them.
How can I report these people? Does anyone know? Who do I tell about this? I looked the number up and it is saying that Metro PCS is the provider of this number, so right there I know they are using prepaid, untraceable cell phones.
