Process Servers Get Sued
Over the years I have seen different Process Serving companies sued for wrongly signing Proofs of Service -under penalty of perjury- when the defendant was actually not served or the process server did not follow the law requiring specific due diligence requirements. This kind of fraud ruins peoples lives.
Below are a couple of articles regarding process serving companies being sued. Before you venture out into being a process server, you need to be honest with yourself. If you can be susceptible to committing fraud and lying when times are rough financially or you get paid only by the piece, then this is a perfect example of "quit your day job" and move on. These lying "process servers" give all of us a bad name which then can lead to undue regulation by the government.
