Process Server scam. Received a call from a person claiming to be a Process Server. She knew my phone number and my name. She claimed to have sealed papers that are important and she didn't know what the case was about, but she was phishing for any information from me about any business, disputes, cases, conflicts, etc that I may be involved in. She gave me the name of an "attorney" to call about my case. She said the attorney was "tracy williams" at phone number 855-470-1674.

A lady named Monica, with a Hispanic accent, called me and a family member claiming that she had been retained to serve me papers to the address associated with my phone number.
I was to call 844 544 1807 to speak with the law firm who filed. If I did not call I will be charged with "willful evasion". Lady Please! I am so tired of this scam, they have been trying to get me with this BS for three years.

I received a letter in the mail stating I owed an outstanding amount of $1202.00 to a payday loan company Check in to Cash. The letter stated they were going to garnish me and file legal charges because I closed my bank account immediately after the loan...while employed through a company I worked for in 2017. This is completely false. I have the same bank that I have had for 13 years, I did not take any payday loans while employed in 2017. I left them a very nice voicemail, its a straight up scam.

A woman with a hispanic accent calls from a number in my area code 949-202-4434, and she says my name right away, the call had bad audio which was the first red flag. She said she had papers to serve and asked if I would I be at my location to receive them. I said, no. She said she could not provide the information and to call this number: 844-544-1807 and provide a case number 2023123828. Within one minute of hanging up the phone with her, someone in my family called me and said a man called him from a (714) phone number (his area code), telling him that I was being served and tried to get personal information about me from him. He gave the same phone number and case number. Thankfully we are not dumb enough to fall for this, but it is infuriating how crafty they can be. It is also sad that we have gotten to a place in our lives that we cannot trust anyone.

Her name was Josephine , said she was from ADA Mediation and I have a civil judgement against me for 2012 they sent letters and attempted certified mail and kept getting return . She confirmed the last 4 of my social and address. She said I need to pay 2300 or I will need to go to court and pay that and court cost and fees , which can be over 6000. She mentioned the money I owe that i don't even see on my credit report. I said i can try and pay 50 a month , so they sent me a document to sign and put my credit card info. on . Im afraid to give this information out if I don't even know if its real or not .

They are calling insinuating they are a process server and will deliver legal documents. If I don’t act on the case, they will pursue legal action.

I was left a voice message on my phone while I had stepped outside from a company called JAA at phone number 877-390-0059, stating that mail they had sent to my address was returned to sender. I have never received anything from this company. The message gave me a reference number and a telephone number to another company called Jacob Alexander & Associates. A few minutes later, my sister called saying someone from Jacob Alexanders office called her and I had used my sisters name as a reference ( I have no idea how that got my sisters phone number) I called the number back and the man said he had to look up my account and needed to verify my identity, and he stated the last 4 digits of my SS #. I told him I was not comfortable with this, he said it was the only way to verify it was me. I verified that he had the correct 4 digits. He than said I had an outstanding debt and that they were mediators. That the debt was from a Visa card from 17 years ago, If I didn't pay resolve the debt I would be taken to court and have my wages garnished or lien placed against me. I told the gentleman that he needs to send me a copy of the debt and the information by mail. He said, he could email it, I told him I was not comfortable with that, it needs to be mailed by the U.S. Postal service, he said they don't do that, only by email or phone. He told me they could take me to court, I told him to take me to court, because I need it sent by mail and I will not do this by email and I hung up. About 1/2 hour later I got another call, this time it was a woman from Jacob Alexander and Assc. office, I didn't even respond, I simply hung up. I literally received 3 phone calls in under 1 hour from these people. I believe this is some kind of scam, what law office or mediation firm doesn't place anything in writing and send it by certified mail when it is regarding a possible lawsuit.

Attempt to collect fraudulent debt claim

A female with this company attempted to retrieve personal information from me by phone, and by phoning close family members without stating the nature of their inquiries in a disrespectful manner.

Impersonating AVS (which isn't even a debt collector) claiming I had a debt to repay but wouldn't answer any of my questions in what the call was in regards to (ie: what company I or service I "have a debt for"). I honestly don't know if it's even helpful to report this considering the phone number is probably spoofed, but I figured I would try and do my part anyway.

Phone call stating I owe a payday loan and that if I don't pay it I will go to jail for 3 felonies and I better contact a bondsman now since bond will be expensive. I told them I do not owe any debt and then Raymond Donovan 404-537-3100 ext 113 got very angry and hung up. I called back asking for the name of the company calling me and he said that the file has been sent to the police department, good luck. No one will answer where they are getting this information from or who they are working for. I wanted to know the name of the company to report them. Beware, this is a scam!

Bechmann and Associates contacted me, saying a third party working for them (National Processing Services) collected my information that was included in a file searching for someone (who ended up being my father). The rep told me my father owed money and the debt had been sold to their firm and they wanted to give him a chance to pay the amount. If there was refusal to pay, the rep threatened to take my father to court. The rep was willing to settle for less and willing to accept a counter offer. When we asked for documentation of the debt and proof of this debt, they were unwilling to provide any details, only high level information. The rep informed us only detailed information could be provided if we went to court. We were able to obtain an email with some information, which did include accurate personal identifiable information; however, when we asked for more detail regarding the debt, the rep began to lose his patience and was not understanding why we were questioning the legitimacy of their claim or who they were and the rep said he was done trying to negotiate and would send the file from mediation to begin legal action. I ran a credit report on behalf of my father and did not see anything in regards to their claim. In addition, there is no web presence except for the exact site the rep walked me through to get to, which was through the California Secretary of State web site, where you do a search for the business Bechmann and Associates.

The 1st dumb and [censored] scammer that called said his name was Tim Ross. He called and left a message. The 2nd dumb and ignorant scammer Nikki Jones said that she was with Mediation Bartin and Baxter Group. She had my social security number, past and current address and type of car that I drove. She said that I had a past due balance from 13 years ago with Capital One and that I owed over +$9,000.00 and if I didn't pay they would garnish my wages, court, jail, etc. But if I paid them $2,000.00 now that they wouldn't start court proceedings. I told the dumb, clueless scammer that I didn't have a credit card with Capital one and I didn't owe anything. She persisted and said that I did. She said that I had 24 hours to pay. I hung up and didn't call back. That's when I googled the number and found this website with similar stories. TOTAL SCAM!

I received a call from a woman stating that I need to call a number she provided for a legal matter. It’s being taken to civil court tomorrow, and she could not disclose any other information, and that I needed to call the number. She gave me a reference number. She said if I don’t call it’ll go to court and I’ll be served paper at my home (she knew my address). I called the number, a man answered and told me I’m being taken to court over a credit card debt. Told me I owed 1400 and the minimum he could drop it down too was 430 but it had to be paid today. He then told me he could put a 48 hour hold on it, and he will call me in 2 days for the payment. I received a letter the same day in the mail about the account being transferred to collections and to contact them directly regarding the account now. I reached out to the debt collectors who my account was transferred too, and they don’t even have that account in their system yet.

They had my social, addresses but wrong email and phone numbers -other than my cell that they called on claiming that I have a credit card from 13 years ago that was not paid off and that I will now get something from an attorney in the mail because I did not choose to mediate. I called back by blocking my number and somehow the same person that I spoke to days prior answered the phone and knew it was me even though I blocked the call. They have all of my info. I blocked by credit report- any suggestions on next steps to secure my info?

I received a call on my cell phone and my work phone and my mother received a call which is transcribed below. The caller had no information regarding what this was about. I called the number requested for a Martin Baxter Group and was advised that in 2002 I had a Capital One Credit Card that was not paid and they are using the "tolling agreement" in the contract to pursue recovery. I have never had a credit card with them, nor have I ever had unpaid credit card. I also have never had this account on my credit repot. I called Capital One and they said they I never had an account with them. They refused to provide me any information on who sent this debt to be collected citing an "NDA" with the acquisitions company and told me if I didn't pay in arbitration suit would be filed however they could not provide me with the info for the attorney that would allegedly be handling this suit.They also said it was verified byt experian however I just ran an experian report and it is also not there so this Martin and Baxter Co is clearly assisting their client in commiting fraud.
