Ever wonder why a stranger keeps threatening you with lawsuits over a loan you never took? This pattern matches classic debt collector scams that use high‑pressure tactics, fake legal citations, and spoofed numbers to intimidate victims. First, never share personal or financial details over the phone; ask for written verification and hang up if the caller refuses. Place a fraud alert on your credit files and consider a credit freeze to block new accounts. File a complaint with the FTC, your state consumer protection office, and ask your carrier to block the number. Keep records of call times, scripts, and voicemails for future reporting.

Repeatedly, a man claiming to be Andy Smith has been calling, using a variety of numbers and a thick accent to intimidate me into returning his calls, warning of consequences if I fail to do so. Additionally, he has made numerous calls to my elderly mother before noon daily, which she thankfully cannot understand, leading her to hang up.
