Expert Opinion

A pattern of silent rings, abrupt hang‑ups, and urgent‑legal‑matter voicemails is surfacing across multiple reports. Callers repeatedly claim to represent a government agency, a process server, or a debt collector, then push a toll‑free callback number that leads to a scripted scam. The hallmark signs—no caller ID, high‑pressure language, and a request for personal info—match known robocall fraud tactics. To stay safe, let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and never return the call or provide details. Report persistent offenders to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider a call‑blocking app for added protection.
