Why This Debt Collector Is Pressuring Payments
Summary — +12162054355
Expert Opinion
Heads up: this number is a classic impersonation scam, posing as an Ohio Attorney General office or a law firm to pressure payments. Callers often harvest public data, then demand cash on the spot, threatening lawsuits or wage garnishment. Never share personal details, especially Social Security or DOB, without verifying the source. Hang up if you get a vague legal claim and block the number. Report the call to the FTC and your state attorney general, and consider adding it to your do‑not‑call list. If a debt collector contacts you, request a written validation notice before taking any action.
