Caller Lauren Blake claimed to be from "dispatch office" of Elite Processing Service, Plano, TX number 972-372-0221. Same crap others reported about needing to serve me with papers for a civil case -- found it strange that Illinois would use a firm in Texas - one that can't even pronounce the county name correctly. Company with this name is a defunct mortgage broker in a different part of TX. Called a relative and friend leaving detailed messages with more information than a legit company, debt collector or whomever, would leave. Messages stated Illinois gives me 48 hours to talk to the party suing to discuss matter - IL has no such law to my knowledge. Address they had for work is NOT one that I have ever used (it is one of our satellite offices) but it is the only address that shows if you google my work phone number. 2nd message stated that if they couldn't serve me by such and such a date that judge may issue bench warrant. Checked county records after 1st call - there are no suits against me. Filed police report today due to threatening nature of calls. Played 2 messages for cop-he also stated it's a scam. My advice is to file police report and file complaint with FTC.gov.
I received the same call as caw-conky, except it was made at my place of employment. Lauren Blake left the same message on my voicemail, stated the address of my employer and that I have 48 hours to call back. Funny the creditor wasn't even mentioned. Same number has also called my Mom, who almost had a heart attack, thinking I was going to jail.
I received the same call and called the police station they stated it was a fraud and to ignore their calls. I am in North Carolina and I was told by the officer that a summons wouldn't come through a phone call but through the mail. Gives me a peace of mind. The person that called me got mad when I told him that I have proof of paying my account in full and ready for court if necessary and hung up on him and since then haven't received any calls back.
