Imagine getting a call that claims a decades‑old payday loan suddenly turned into a legal threat. That’s exactly what many recipients of +13129716242 report—generic "legal processing" scripts, vague references to old debt, and pressure to pay immediately. The pattern points to a classic debt‑collection scam masquerading as a process server. Protect yourself by never sharing personal data over the phone, requesting written verification, and hanging up if the caller can’t provide verifiable credentials. Report the number to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency, and consider a call‑blocking app. If you suspect identity theft, place a fraud alert with the major credit bureaus.
