My girlfriend was checking her messages & had missed a crazy voice mail from 2 weeks ago where a woman from an (855) area code claims there a subpeona or summons on her desk for her boyfriend (she knew my full name) & it would be served on the 8th. She left a number in Texas for me to call (I'm in Florida). Freaked out my girlfriend. I knew it was an obvious scam. This happen to anyone else? The call was received in early July.

Happened to my cousin. Same subpoena BS thing. If you owe money, skipped out on a credit card, anything like that then 99.9% it's a collection agency scam. They can get very inventive trying to locate people and will try this type of scare tactic. Truth is that no law enforcement at any level conducts those types of information gathering tactics.Comment -

Dude , i was on Facebbok last night , was watching a video , a fukkin advertisement commercial pops up , like it does on every video except this was not normal .
Phone messages start arriving as soon as commercial ends .
I get 2 text on my Registration Code for Bumble , yet i didnt sign up for shit . Simply had a pop up infomercial come on . So i assume FB , being the dirty bastsrd it is , that gives them access to register you since my cell # was listed .
Every social media company is selling their soul for money .
I removed my number from FB , put in
1-Area Code-382-5968 (F u C k Y o u) , everyone should do it . They'll have 1000's with the same number , although unlucky for the one who does have that number taken .Comment -
I got one about my social security number being suspended or some shit. Sucks that they probably fool so many people with this shit. How do you suspend a social security number anyway? Just a dumb, obvious scam to get me to give them my number.Comment -
It's a debt agency
Using social media to locate you
Will send complaint (small claims usually) if you give info
Could be old medical, credit card, unpaid storage unit, bounced check, etc somewhere from old residence where mail is being returned (hence they cant serve you)Comment -
there are programs like accurint that make looking up peoples numbers just based off their name, past area lived ,relatives, etc. It gives you all of their numbers. I use it a lot in commercial real estate. You can get in serious trouble if you try and look up celebs info. Some a hole at my company looked up bieber and mayweather one day and we got a big warning the next day.Comment
