Block the number and report it to your carrier; repeated voicemails from varied area codes signal a robocall scam. Do not return the call or provide personal data, especially Social Security or banking info. Use a call‑blocking app to filter future attempts and keep a log of timestamps and message content. If a message claims legal action, verify independently through official channels before responding. Consider filing a complaint with the FTC or your state’s consumer protection office. Regularly review your credit reports for unauthorized activity and enable two‑factor authentication wherever possible.

Multiple voicemails have been left from various area codes, including Texas, New Jersey, Michigan, and Minnesota, over the past three days, all conveying the same message about processing legal paperwork and potential wage garnishment.
A call was made by someone claiming to be Elizabeth Smith from the approval department, stating that the recipient's preapproval for an advantage program is pending, and offering to discuss the details and benefits if the recipient has time to talk.
The message claimed to be related to a loan, but I have no outstanding loans aside from my current mortgage, which is up to date.
Today I got the same message as others, with a call from an unknown Indiana-based number and a voicemail from this 210 area code number
Voicemail left with no message
