I'm in California and on Tuesday Jan 3, 2017 received a call from: (201) 299-4795, I didn't recognize the number and let it go to voice mail.  voice message from a male Paul Mason regarding a private matter. He did not address me by name nor mention who he was representing. Asked me to return his call at: (888) 732-5818.
Thursday Jan 5, 2017 received two voice messages from the (201) 299-4795 number, by a female saying that she was a courier and needed me to be home on Friday between 12 noon and 5 pm to sign for important documents. To stop the courier delivery I would have to call: 888 732-5818. Again i was never addressed by name, nor was a creditor named. I saw everyone's posts here and decided to report my encounters.
Be cautious people!

This is a scam. Lindsey Shaffer calling regarding legal documents.

Caller left vague information about a legal matter….Asked that I make myself available afternoon the following next day… Pretty transparently a scam.

Received a call from Lindsay Shaffer stating that someone needed to be available between 12 and 5 tomorrow to sign for documents for a courier. Left the 888 number for me to call the filing party. Good luck with that because neither of those things is happening.

Be available blah blah.  No name.  No company answers with a name in call back.  BLOCKED
