Big time scam

Unknown caller leaving same message as others recieved. Number left to call 888-545-0378. Knew it was a scam right off 1: because they gave heads up that they were serving me. 2: they used a name I haven't used for over 20 years. 3: only gave the name of the road I used to live on. 4: they use the year they call as the case number. 5: the number now is not in service. See photo attached from a Google search.

Got a voicemail from 888-540-1322 that went "Listen very closely. This message is to notify J--- D--- that you will be served with a court ordered summons at the verified property address. If you are unaware of the complaint, contact the issuing agent's legal department immediately at 1-888-540-1322. Reference Number blah blah blah. if you do fail to cooperate a decision will be made on your behalf and without your consent on a missed court date."
So I called back to the number and the very same guy answered.
Hello, Glen Oak's Law group. Is there a certain department I can direct you to?
I said I wasn't sure, got some voicemail about a summons. He said Ok, asked for the reference number and told me I was being given a summons for a civil complaint. I asked him what it was for, and he said it was for a debt from the 2000's for Bank of America. He said a process server was trying to serve at the address he had on file which happens to be a UPS mail box. I told him that was indeed a UPS store and he said they were also trying to serve me at another location that was an old place of employment. I asked if this debt was even valid given it was from the 2000s and he said unfortunately its "charge off date" wasn't until 2018 so they can still sue me for it. I asked for his name, David Cooper and the name of their agency, Glen Oaks Law Group.
Nothing at all comes up for them besides these scam alert sites.

I received a call stating that a process server would be out to serve me and she would not tell me why. She then gave me a telephone number 888-545-0378 and a case number. I contacted them and was then transferred to a civil litigation guy, who refused to give me his name and told me that I would be served for a past debt from Chase Bank that dated back to 2010. I advised him to stop calling and that the statute of limitation had passed. He then stated that it didn't and that I would need to "Be professional". I requested his name and he hung up on me. Then at 10:46 am, I received an e-mail from my HR department advising me to contact them, even though I had just spoken with them. I have reached out to a lawyer about this and will update my findings.

Received a call from some woman claiming that I have a subpoena from Glen Oaks Law firm. I called them and they said it was about a credit card debt. But that debt was settled in 2015. Strangely, they don't have my correct address either. That was a red flag. They also don't have any info online. And when I called the collection agency that I had paid back in 2015 to get a new confirmation letter, they acted like this is something they hear about all the time. -- cause it s a scam. Now I'm mad.

This is something that was 20 years ago, it was included in a federal case in which everything was to be paid by the court restitution. This was also in my son's name, who was 6 at the time. This is long past statue of limitations and this is not a collectable debt. This company was threatening, ignorant and every time we hung up, they would call back, even though I had told them over and over I will be handing this over to my attorney.

I received a call today from Process Service Dispatch to call the law firm handling my case about important court documents they needed to deliver to me. I called the number back (888-540-1322) and spoke with Keith Reed about a credit card debt from 2001-2007 with US Bank National, for almost $15,000. He said it came off my credit report in 2016, and the statute of limitations in NJ is 6 years, and up next month. They offered a one-time courtesy agreement of just over $6700, which I said I can't pay. He offered to "put his neck on the line" and agree to $3500, but I only had 24 hours to pay it. I said there was no way I could come up with that money in that amount of time, so he said I would be served papers to appear in court. He knew my date of birth, address, and county I'm living in now, along with the county in NY where I was living at the time of this supposed debt. The call really freaked me out. I'm dealing with the death of a relative and stressing about a lot of things right now, and don't need this added to it. I talked to my boss and he said it sounds like a scam. I honestly don't remember if I had a credit card from US Bank National, but I don't think I did. I'll check my records when I get home. I'm really nervous, but hoping with everything I've got that it's a scam. I Googled the phone number and Glen Oaks Law Firm, and couldn't find anything.

I was called by a woman from a so called servicing agency about a legal issue brought by Glen Oaks Law Firm on Nov 17, 2021 (888.530.1063). I don't live at the address out of state and rent the property. It seemed kinda crazy and I texted my tenant who said he knew nothing about it and no letter(s) have been received by mail. She gave me a case number and phone number so I called. I asked for their website and where their office is located. They said they don't have a website. They did say they are located in my hometown, so I said give me your address and I'll come by. I think they got the town name from my call back giving my phone number location. The guy was a jerk and then became more of a jerk after I said I'd stop by. In a somewhat angry voice he said you'll get your letter tonight at your house look for it. They knew I owned the out of state home and it's address, and obviously my phone number.

I received a call today from a Kathy Simpson who said she was in El Paso County, a county I do not live in, in Colorado. The debt, they say, is from 2003, well past the debt collection statute of limitations in Colorado. I looked them up and talked to a lawyer. They say I owe $6,600 from 18 years ago. The gentleman on the phone, Michael Wells, was a complete jerk, threatening me with the law suit and lien on my house. I actually have a case against them now, if they exist at all. You cannot call and threaten like that, no matter how old (or new) the bill is. Oh yes, they had all the information on me, address, phone, last 4 of social, etc. They knew I filed bankruptcy in 2005 and that it was dismissed in 2006. But the lawyer told me that they can purchase that info anywhere.

Received a call from and unknown number who said to call 866-519-1088. I did not answer, but they left the following message "Attention this is Sarah with the the process service dispatch. This call is to notify the residence at another attempt will be made to appear for J*** H********. If any changes need to be made at the time they are locations of this delivery, please contact, is ____ handling your reference number 2021 Dash 674153 ___ to contact a showing for __ move result in further legal proceedings to take place without your knowledge you have been notified.." 1st clue it was a scam is that that is not how process serving works. 2nd clue is that the aforementioned person in the voicemail is deceased and my ex husband. I called the number and the male who answered was extremely rude. Said I called him when they literally just left me a message. Anyone else have this experience?

Noting online for Glen Oaks Law group and no such business at the address given. The called about a 20 year old CC debt and threatened to levy my accounts and new truck. I'll admit, they come.off as legit but all it takes a little due diligence on your part and you'll quickly realize it's debt collection scam. Don't fall for it.

I was left a voicemail asking for my dad with my personal address included in the voicemail so I decided to call the number that was left in the voicemail. The man said they were a legal firm and they were handling a case involving debt collection however none of it was stuff my dad knew anything about. They claimed to be Glenn Oaks Legal Firm out of California but when I looked it up nothing of the sorts came up. They knew a lot of my dads personal information such as birth date, age, and last three digits of social security. We hung up before any information could be taken from us.
