Received a call from this number. When I answered, I didn't get a real person. Instead, I received a recorded message that provided no name of the person calling, the company they are with, or the "client" they claim to represent. The message is absolutely identical to a message that I received from no less than three different numbers in two different states in recent weeks. A man's voice, (in this one - I've received the same scripted message with a woman's voice before), claims to be from "the processing division"; but from what company, court or organization, they don't say. Says that there "looks like" there are "two charges pending" against me. Says that they are going to pursue serving me with documents at my residence or at my place of business and that, once I'm located, I forfeit my rights. (Clearly they are targeting, and attempting to frighten, individuals who don't understand the law and/or their rights.) I don't know who they are, but their practices are not just unethical, but they're also skating over the letter of the law. If they are attempting to collect a debt, (which I suspect they may be associated with a debt collection attempt I received recently where the organization was trying to collect on a credit card debt that was legally and finally settled 24 years ago), they did not identify the call as a debt collection attempt; which they are required to do by law. My advice: Either block the number and ignore these people, or find a law office that is willing to throw the book at them without too much cost to you. They're acting illegally.
