These tactics fit those of unscrupulous or downright illegal debt collectors. Posing as a Judicial or Law Enforcement Official is a crime. Judicial Services is likely a name made up by this collector to intimidate those they call. If you have any doubts as to whether there are any legal actions pending against you (or a third party if they are calling your company looking for someone), you can contact the Clerk of Courts for your County. Unpaid debt is civil and not criminal. Fraud can only be pursued if the prosecutor can show prior intent at the time the debt was incurred. Notification by telephone or message left on an answering machine does not constitute "legal notification" of anything except in very extraordinary circumstances.
