My boss got a call from a "Richard Harris" from the law firm as well said i needed to call within a few hours in order to avoid being served. My boss was concerned I ended up calling they said I owed 12,000 and they would take me to court garnish 25% of my wages. I explained I couldnt afford that I could possibly make a $50 payment monthly he wasnt going for it I offered them my credit card to charge 1,000 dollars, and a payment plan for the settled amount. This was 24 hours ago since then I've been talking to my boss who is an accountant and researching my rights my debt is from 9 years ago and i owed aprox 3,000 the statue of limitations for this debt has expired I called my credit card company to dispute my charge hopefully i can get my money back. When they called PFG and she expalined that I was disputing the charge she told them she was going to transfer me on for a conference call they hung up on her. They used intimitadion and misrepresented themselves ubelievable! I did file a complaint with the FTC and reported a fraud on my credit card its under investigation!

FTC sued a cluster of similar operations back in October. The court ordered their assets seized and issued a restraining order.
There is a second large group still in operation, playing the same fake "process server" shakedown game.
These are the FTC attorneys handling the Corona Scam case, FTC v. Rincon, et al.

You might also contact a consumer attorney, since using deception to collect a debt (like pretending they are suing when they are not, and using deception to evade proving you even owe them), violates FDCPA, and you can sue them. You can find a consumer attorney in your state through www.naca.net
