You should call this individual to find out what he wants. If he is trying to serve you with a Complaint because someone is suing you, you might as well accept service of the papers because if you do not, the Plaintiff will ask the Court for permission to serve you by publication and if you do not see the notice in the newspaper, you will not be able to file an Answer to the Complaint and the Plaintiff can get a default judgment against you.
