Question about Supreme Court

I woke up this morning to get a ring on the doorbell with a guy standing demanding to speak with an individual who he deemed to be staying at my house. The person he was looking for was not me.

I refused to answer his questions as he was extremely rude and demanding....he claimed to be "an officer of the court" and he demanded answers from me regarding the person he was looking for. To me, "an officer of the court" could be anyone who works at a court and so I did not trust the guy.

He started to question me, but I refused to answer him. Soon, I found a hole in his questions and I asked him back why he would ask me a question he already knew the answer to. He started to tell me "let me tell you about the law". So I let him and he told me about how he is going to post a set of documents on my door.

So my question is, if he is going to post them on the door, why didn't he do that in the first place?

I asked him for his business card and he produced a stickypad to write down his phone number, name, and court file number. No business card....then he left.

I am totally lost. What was this guy up to?

It was an agent attempting to serve you court papers.

Part 4- Service, may be of some help.

Could be a bill collector too...

Supreme court for bill collecting?

No, a bill collector saying he is an officer of the court to try and "out" you as being the person he's looking for.

Hmm...I see. He did show me some documents, but for all I know, my brief glance told me that it could be anything.

How did u not laugh in his face when he brought out the sticky pad. I would of slammed the door shut right there.

Yea usually if someone claims to be someone important I ask for a business card right away.

I did receive a "file number" of some sort that he wrote down on the sticky pad for me. Will have to go see what it's all about and at least figure out whether or not it's legit.

If you're not sure about someone in a situation like this, make them wait outside while you take their contact info and make a call or two to confirm. Anyone who's truly an officer of the court or the law should not have a moment's problem with this... in fact, they should go into the situation fully expecting the person to want confirm their credentials. Most cops have probably attended calls where someone was faked out and scammed by someone claiming to be a cop or agent of the courts.

usually an officer would show you their ID's before even getting into any further details.

Identifying themselves usually is the first thing they do.

oh, and if it were to be someone "pretending" to be an officer, then you should report him/her. Last time I checked it's kinda ILLEGAL.
