Watch out: an unsolicited call claiming a pending legal case is a classic red flag. Scam callers often pose as attorneys or debt collectors to pressure victims into sharing personal info or financial details. Do not confirm any information, and never agree to payment over the phone. Hang up, block the number, and document the call. Verify the claim by contacting the alleged firm directly using a known phone number or online portal. Report the incident to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection office. Stay skeptical of urgent language and always protect your identity.
The caller claimed to be contacting me about a pending legal matter, but I'm skeptical about the legitimacy of the call.
