same thinghere, they call say they will be there to drop of papers let them com. i would like to see that. i know its a scam

I too received a call from an unknown number. Followed by a phone call on 4.4.11 I let it go to voice mail. The message was they had some papers for me to signed and had not been able to get in touch with me at home or on the job. He said he came by on 4.4.11 but was I was not there. So he was on way to my employment.

Received another call on 4.5.11 at 9:30am Advising me that he was coming by my home in two hours. If not there he would be by my employment. Please be available with my ID. His name was Josh Robinson. Never left any information on who I owed the debt to or the name of the third party. He did give me a file number. At 3:10p called and did not say anything. Lot of noise in background.

I too have received a few calls from a similar number. It started with a call earlier this week from a "private" number and I let it go to voicemail. I got the same schtick has previously listed...that if I didn't call the 855 number I was going to be served some 'papers' at my home or place of employment. The caller left no information as to who he was (or even his name), to whom I owed the debt, or the name of the "3rd party" company I was to contact to put a 'stop order' on the serving of "papers". If I did not call the number, he would contact me again later in the week and give me one last chance and they would "dispatch" someone the next day to serve me the "papers" if I did not comply. Since I was not provided this info via voice mail, I did not respond. Sure enough, a few days go by and I receive the 2nd phone call notifying me that they would be serving me the "papers" the following day and to please make this as easy and discreet as possbile. The only difference this time was that the person who called forgot to block his call and the number showed up on ID. Google is a wonderful thing, so I entered it and did a search and came to find out that the phone call came from a pay phone at a gas station. Really? A pay phone at a gas station? I was planning to see what happened as the day went on and whether or not I would be served these "papers" that I have no idea where theyre coming from. You could definitely tell that the guy who left the message was reading from a script

Lets keep in mind here that legit debt collectors will ALWAYS give you the schtick about how "this is an attempt to collect a debt..." and at no time did I receive that message. Im guessing that no name would be given in the voice mail because the operation is illegal, but the person calling and leaving a message wasnt smart enough to block his call let alone realize that calling from a gas station where there are cameras inside located at a major intersection where there are more cameras that activate every time the light turns red is pure genius! Im sure the police will have no problem locating his whereabouts. If he was on foot, he must live or work really close to the place where the call came from. Way to be discreet.

Just remember...

~If anyone is going to serve you with anything, there is no notice of any kind...they find you and they serve you, and it will be by someone who will identify themselves with proper documentation
~If indeed they are a debt collector, they are required by law to tell you that they are a debt collector. If they fail to give you information of any kind as to who they are or what the call is in regards to, then hang up. Also refuse to give them any information. Theyre the ones who called you, and they have all the info they need on hand to do what they need to do if they are legit.

If you need more info on this scam, do a Google search for 855-844-3542 or look for anything close to these numbers. Im sure it is all the same people because every single story is the same

Said they wanted to serve me papers to sign and gave me a case number and to call them back. Left no info as to who they are. Why would I call them to verify my address? I might as well asked them where they were and I would pick up the papers myself! Like THAT was going to happen!
