Phone Number Report:

Same exact thing just happened to me from "Evan perry" left a voicemail

saying he was going to serve me in the next 24-48 hours either at home or at my work and that I needed

2 forms of id and if I was at work I'd need to have a supervisor sign a witness form. THIS IS B.S!!!!

Listen people, if this happens to you DO NOT CALL THEM BACK. A legal summons is delivered by

a police officer! If ur that worried that u might have screwed up along the way just sit back and wait for

something to be delivered! Do not EVER talk to someone you don't know over the phone, you do not

HAVE to pay anyone! Or give any info about yourself

Rcv'd similar vm threatening legal service at home/job. Called to inquire as to

company name and address and they refuse to provide - I think they are a pennies on the dollar

Zombie/Junk Debt (Settled/ Wrong Person/ Discharged in BK / Out of Statute / Time Barred) scammer

operating in violation of Fed/State laws ( i.e. abusive, deceptive and unethical collections practices).

Since they have no legal ability to sue they are simply looking to frighten unsophisticated people - low

hanging fruit into paying. also using alias/DBA

As they seem to be calling out to many states, It may be most effective to

report them to the NY State AG office in Buffalo. If they get enough complaints they might be able to

find them and shut them down. http://www.ag.ny.gov/buffalo-regional-office
