FYI There is a Process Server scam going on.

while working from home today my cell phone rings and when I am working, and it isn't a number I don't know I send it to voicemail unless it is the local area.

Check my voicemail later and it is a message that a process server will be sent to you home and or workplace failure to answer this call will escalate it press 1 to be connected to a case manager.

The phone number is 877-498-0123 and when I googled the number.

not too sure what a process server is but I thought I warn people.

like complaints in lawsuits. Sounds like a big fat scam to me. It doesn't work that way; a process server doesn't phone ahead of time or threaten, they just show up if they're legit.

Is someone who wants to serve you with a subpoena.

Definitely sounds like a scam.

We definitely didn't call people to warn them that we were coming. This is definitely a scam.

Yeah, unless you think you might be getting divorced it’s a scam.
