Expert Opinion

Earlier today, a wave of complaints surfaced about texts from +12184335730 that impersonate an Attorney General representative named Sam or Jerry Wilson. The messages threaten arrest unless a callback number is dialed, a classic scam tactic that exploits legal fear. Recipients should treat any unsolicited legal‑threatening texts as suspicious, never call the provided number, and block the sender. Reporting the number to your carrier and filing a complaint with the FTC can help curb the abuse. Remember, genuine government agencies communicate via official channels—not through urgent, misspelled texts demanding immediate action.
