I got a phone call on my cell this morning, the number showed up as "0" so I didn't answer it. A voicemail was left as follows:
"This is for (my name here). Ma'am, my name is Joseph Ferguson (sp?) I'm a state licensed process server. I work for a company called United Litigations. Now, there's been a formal complaint filed against you this morning and an order to serve you a summons to appear in court. I see you've got a couple of different civil charges here... there's also a fraudulant use of check charge listed on the citation. Reason for the phone call is state law requires me to inform you that you have a legal right to contact the plaintiff if you have questions or concerns prior to paperwork being issued against you. And, try and schedule something with you on a cordial voluntary basis to get this paperwork issued. Phone number for the plaintiff is 877-801-8346... reference your court docket number (insert number here)."
He also left a message on my EX IN-LAW's voicemail. They told my ex-husband which resulted in his showing up at my house to give me the message, with phone and docket numbers as well. Luckily, by that time, I had looked up the 877 number on the web and discovered that it seems to be some kind of scam from payday loan places and/or scare tactic from collection agencies. Reassured that I really wasn't going to jail for check fraud, he left shaking his head.
