I was contacted on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by a woman who identified herself in a voicemail, stating I would be served papers on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at my home address, between the hours of XXXX-XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a phone call at work, at approximately XXXX, from someone who identified themself as someone from the local county office of where I live. I was told that I failed to receive my papers for a lawsuit, and to arrange being served, she transferred me to a gentleman named XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX stated he worked for the Litigation office, and that he would help me with having the process server rerouted and not to appear at my place of work. 

I inquired on the matter of what I was being " served '' for, and XXXX XXXX explained that it was and old Debt, from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was defaulted in XX/XX/XXXX. By law, XXXX XXXX has 4 years to pursue a lawsuit against me to recoup their debt. I was instructed to make arrangements for the settlement outside of court, or I would be served papers for the lawsuit at work. Also, XXXX XXXX tole me that failing to be served is the same as failing to appear at court and my wages would be garnished, as well as a lean would be put on my house. 

Being suspicious, I called and explained the situation to the Attorney Generals Office. The person who I spoke with in the Consumer Protection Division, agreed that she thought this sounded like a scam. 

I called XXXX XXXX back, at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and stated I thought this was a scam. He became very upset and, among other things, proceeded to tell me that he would contact my employer and garnish my wages. I instructed him to not contact me at my place of employment, and requested that I be notified in writing of the debt to be validated. I also asked for the address and number of his company, but he told me that I did not need that information and that it had nothing to do with my lawsuit. 

After XXXX XXXX hung up on me, he contacted my company 's accounting department and stated that my wages were to be garnished and he would fax over the paperwork. As of yet, we have not received the paperwork.
