This also happened to me - a gentleman named Michael Valencia called my previous employer, parents and threatened myself as well. They used racial slurs against my former employer and threw around some large threats against myself. I am right months pregnant and calling around to the sherif and local ps because I was in such a state about being served. When I spoke with the sherrif and the police they both confirmed that the information about the summons was false. I would LOVE to get to know where this scam is from so I could get the information to the police and to a lawyer to see my options. It's a sick game these people are playing.
Over the past 2 days the Caller has called me + several family members and friends claiming they have warrants for my arrest due to an unpaid payday loan.... as I've never had one I know it's complete BS. Gave me some bogus "docket" number and a phone number to call back of 844-279-7600 .... I Plan on suing them under the FDCPA if I can get the actual name of this outfit...
Oddly, this same number called someone I know looking to contact me, how they get information is mind-boggling. What I suspect is there are companies out there that bad old debt/ they invest in hopes of actually recapturing the total amt. of the debt that they have paid pennies on the dollar to own. When they find out they themselves have been ripped off, by purchasing UN-COLLECTABLE old debt they get as sneaky as they can. Calling family members, job sites, friends etc... is absolutely illegal. Attempting to collect on old debt- some states it's 5 years, some states it's 6 and then it's considered dead debt, so do not pay any portion at all or it resets. Also, be aware some of these will file with a court and SAY they have 'served' you when in fact they have not... judgment can be passed based on NO SHOW on your part and the court never gets to even KNOW you had no idea. The name this person used from this phone number was R Marshall.
Got the same call from this number today, but it was a Roland Stone. They also called my husband employer looking for information about me on a bogus debt. Gave his employer a phone # and case number for my alleged debt. and told his employer that they were going to serve him with a summons at his work place! for a bogus debt that is not even his. I called Ronald Stone, asked him for mailing address so I could send cest & desist letter. He would not give it to me. I also asked them to mail me a letter to validate this debt. He said that they did not have to do that, that we would settle it in court. I told him I was looking forward to it. Annoying scammers, Beware!!!
Caller identified himself as Rick Taylor. Left message saying he was calling about a specific case and to call him back at 844-279-7600. When I returned call, it was answered by a thick accented man asking for a case number. I asked where I had called. He stated it was Keller Law Group and transferred me to the voice mail of a Michael Davidio(not sure of last name spelling). This number has also called family members telling them they needed to reach me and have me call.
