A caller claiming a legal document arrived on a desk and demanding a callback within hours feels like a classic pressure tactic. Most reports describe a foreign‑accented voice, urgent deadlines, and a request to call a toll‑free 833‑883‑2139 number. Those cues match the well‑known process‑server scam that tries to harvest personal data or payment. Hang up immediately, never share Social Security or banking details, and verify the claim by contacting your local courthouse or the alleged law firm directly. If you suspect fraud, report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier. Staying skeptical and double‑checking official sources is the safest move.
