People keep hearing that they have an old check problem and a looming wage garnishment, yet the details rarely add up. The pattern points to a classic check‑kiting scam where callers reference decades‑old paper checks that most people never wrote. These scripts aim to create urgency, pressuring you to call back or hand over personal info. If you receive such a call, do not provide banking details, and verify the claim directly with your bank using official contact numbers. Hang up, block the number, and consider reporting the incident to the FTC or your state attorney general.
