The caller was extremely rude, attempting to collect a debt that was settled in 2016, for which I have documentation; they claimed to represent the Dawson Webber group, but the website they provided appears to be fake, and they have also contacted my relatives.
Urgent legal threat calls—what’s the scam?
Summary — +13025046223
Expert Opinion
Yesterday afternoon, a wave of recorded voicemails from +13025046223 has been surfacing, all demanding an urgent callback to avoid alleged legal actions. The pattern—threats of civil complaints, mediation notices, and asset discovery—matches classic robocall scams that aim to harvest personal data or extort money. Recipients should avoid returning the call, block the number, and report it to the FTC and their phone carrier. Verify any legitimate claims by contacting the alleged plaintiff directly using known contact information, not the number left in the message. Keep detailed logs of the call content, and consider enrolling in a reputable call‑blocking service to reduce future exposure.
