Recent call logs reveal a surge of inbound numbers claiming to handle legal paperwork, often pressuring recipients to verify personal details. Callers typically pose as debt collectors or legal support firms, warning of impending court filings or mailed documents within a short window. This tactic exploits fear and urgency to harvest personal data or extract payment.
