Since 05/19/2015 and 05/20/2015, a guy calling himself Eric Tavern, who claims to be an independent private investigator and process server based in Alameda (which he completely mis-pronounced) has been calling my phone and leaving voicemails for me, by name. In the first voicemail, he made sure to state my full name multiple times. He claimed that he needed to serve me papers for a company called McGuire Management, but failed to leave a return phone number which I thought was very odd. The second voicemail was the next day to inform me that he has been trying to serve me these documents, and that he will be coming by my house between 5pm and 7pm and if he can't reach me he will be attempting to serve me at my place of work (which he couldn't name) and this time he left a number for McGuire Management: 866-441-4082.

I called Mcguire Management and a woman answered the phones. She asked for my name, which I gave as they clearly already had it. She then asked for the last four numbers of my social security number or my address, both of which I refused to give. She then said she couldn't pull up my information because she can't verify it's me. I then stated that I'm hesitant to give out any further information as I am afraid this is was scam. I also stated that I was feeling harrassed by this investigator who was calling me daily but not providing any information. She then seemed irritated and stated that since we both can't provide any further information we should end the call. I asked her to verify the address of McGuire Management which she gave as: 600 Madison Ave. Suite 200, New York, New York 10022. 

I Googled the voicemail content, the company name and address and came upon several similar reports of this scam. The guy left the same voicemail for me, almost verbatim, that he left for others. Do not pay anyone any money!

Hi Sarah,

You can find my report on here dated 04/17/15. I am glad that you didn't fall for the scam. Now a days, we all have to be vigilent. 

I encourage you to file a complain on http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx. I am hoping that the more people that file complaints will get their attention then the government overseeing cyber crimes will do something about it, because this is crazy!!!!

Respond to this Report!
