Left Voice Message claiming one of my relative needs to be serve

I received a voice message from an unknown number saying they were a calling on behalf of the Los Angeles County from the process to serve department regarding a legal matter affecting a close relative and the my close relative has 24 hours to call the 866-263-0157 phone number regarding their case number.

I was suspicious so I called my relative who is familiar with legal cases and informed me that legal papers have to be served in person and this was probably a scam.

Laura has nothing better to do

My husband received a voicemail from 833–458–2245 with a message saying this message is for his wife; that they sent a letter to my house that has gone unanswered, and that this is their last attempt. She said her name is Laura from Pasco County processing service department, and that they were trying to serve me papers as a lawsuit had been filed against me and left a fraudulent “case number” that doesn’t exist. My husband called back and tried to get information and they said that they would not tell him anything because he was not me, but they wanted him to provide information about me to them. Of course, in the voicemail, I was threatened with legal action if I didn’t call them within 24 hours. SMH.

Ryan Eubanks and Edgar; HC & Associates

Both my father and I received calls from these people trying to reach me. They were trying to reach me posing as a law office that was suing me for an old credit card debt from 2006. First I got a voicemail from an "Edgar" from the County Process Server office telling me that there were papers to be delivered and i needed to call them back. The number he wanted me to call back was 866-263-0157. (The number he called from was 855-917-0633). When i called back, i spoke to a person saying his name was
"Ryan Eubanks". He said I was being sued for $6200 to include the original debt amount from Bank of America and processing fees. He said that i could make a counter offer of "around $3500" and we could keep it out of court. I told him i would figure it out and call him back. In that time i began to feel that it was weird. First, they were using my old married last name from the early 2000's. Second, this debt is not on my credit report. They couldn't tell me the original debt amount, just that it was sold or closed by Global Assets in 2016 and then given to them to try and collect via a lawsuit. I called him back and told him i was suspicious and wanted more information, however i wasn't sure because i did have a small debt from Bank of America back then. I asked for his company name, he said HC & Associates. I asked for a website, he said they didn't have one because they are a small private company. Then he went on to tell me, how could this be a scam, we have your social, your employer records, your debt records and all your family contacts. I then again said i would call back to make a deal and that i wanted to keep it out of court. In the meantime i contacted my attorney and was advised that this likely sounded like a scam and to let her know if they contacted me again. Sure enough, "Ryan" called again and left a voicemail (from yet another number, 833-458-2245) saying i had to make the deal today or i would be getting served on Monday. I called my attorney and she called him and sent him a cease and desist letter and informed me that this was a long running fraud.

Also, one more thing to add because it might be helpful to the next person... When they answer the phone they say "Legal Administration" not a law firm name.

Ryan eubanks

I received a call from this company saying they were going to sue me for a credit card through continental finance that I have no knowledge of, and when I started to ask questions about the debt and any information I was told I would be served and the amount of the debt was 689 but with attorneys fees it would be upwards of about $2800 lol. I asked again the name of the company because the guy answered with “legal department” he said HC and associates, I then asked so if I looked up the company by this name I would find it? He studdered a bit and then stated they are a private law firm lol, he called me a [censored] and hung up on me.

I had the same issue just recently, I got called from Ryan Eubanks, saying that I have a debit I owe $876 through HSBC and there's a Law suit against me. That either I pay the $3000 or settle it now for $876. So of course me being 61 yrs old, got scared and can't think straight i settle the $876. And I got a Email from this Michael Landing about settle debt and sign. I look up the credit card # it doesn't even exist or to many numbers. That's when I decided to look up this company, and i saw this scam alert. So I called USAA and told them to dispute the amount that was taken out and close my credit card. I have told my son, who served in Army, he said that next time. I let him handle on this kind of stituation. So please be aware of scam, don't fall for it. like I have. Especially to the elder people.

Scam Alert!!!!

I too received a restricted call from a foreign sounding man. He left an urgent VM message. He also called my spouse and stepdaughter. When I tried to call back, a man named "Michael" answered the phone with "litigation." I gave him the reference number he left my stepdaughter and he placed me on a 5 minute hold. He came back to the phone and said I have a credit in collection and that I owe $2500. He said it is an HSBC Credit Card opened in 2010. He started threatening a law suit and that I would be receiving a summons to court soon. He wouldn't provide me with additional info including the lawyers name, contact number or his own last name. He just said, "I'm the only Michael here." I asked for his website and he said they don't have one. He was very rude and unprofessional and even hung up on me when I confronted him about this being a scam. I looked at my credit report and no HSBC credit card at any point on there and no derogatory remarks. I also called HSBC Customer service and they verified that I've never had an account with them. Beware!

These people were calling my mother in an attempt to collect a debt that had never existed, the two or three people would pick up the phone did not want anything to do with me, probably because of the fact that I was already on to their scam, only to talk to a more older person who is easily manipulated, those filthy beings. The funny thing is, once my mom mentioned bankruptcy and having lawyers the person on the line asked my mom to contact her lawyer to clear up the "possibility" of this debt never being included in the bankruptcy schedules. The lawyer told us to give them their number so these collectors could call them.

After doing so, we attempted to call these scammers back (just to give them the benefit of the doubt) and they hung up on my mom twice. On the first call the same guy pretended not to be able to hear my mom and asked her to call again (baloney, they used the same excuse on me) the second call back made me laugh out loud, my mom just said her name and the guy just hung up. I don't think legitimate debt collectors would do this.

Shoutout to Edgar Ramos (If that is your real name) for insulting me and bringing on this reckoning upon "Horrowitz Cohen and Associates" (literally the amalgamation of a real employee litigation firm and Estate planning firm) another shoutout to Michael Epstein (real name?) for loosing his cool when following up on why they hung up the phone last time, I was just asking of you guys were really attorneys jeez.

Where is the "paperwork" or "legal summons", some other firm (first source mediation) attempted to collect on the same debt you guys have.

To summarize, these people:

indicate falsely the legal status of papers or forms sent to you

imply falsely that they are attorneys or that an attorney is involved in the collection of the debt

threaten legal action that is illegal or that they do not intend to take

Victim Location 97048
Type of a scam Debt Collections

A company claiming to be Horowitz Cohen Associates called my place of employment and Father's cell phone trying to contact me saying it was regarding a lawsuit against me.so I called the number they left and spoke to a Kevin Smith. He said I had a lawsuit against me from a delinquent credit card account and are pressuring an ex amount of money, but would settle for an ex amountof money if settle today. This Kevin read me my address and social security number so I could verify. A company does not verify that way, you give them your last four of your social security and tell them your address, so they can verify your identity. The dates the gave me for this fraudulent debt didn't correspond with the time frame of my current employer so they wouldn't have my current work number. And they wouldn't have my fathers cell phone number. So I called the credit card company to ask if I ever had an account ending in the last four numbers of the allege account and they confirmed no account ending in that number has ever been associated with my name. This all sounded official until I began to realize things didn't add up. I hope no one falls to this form of theft from this company.

Did you happen to get a letter from them to sign if you paid a settlement? I believe that a friend off mine is getting scammed by them.
