Imagine getting a call from a number that claims you owe a long‑ago payday loan and threatens legal action. The script typically mentions a “mediation department,” a fake lawsuit, or a process server trying to pressure you into paying money. Never share personal or financial information with an unsolicited caller, and don’t agree to send money to settle a claim you haven’t verified. Hang up, look up the number on scam‑report sites, and contact the real institution directly using a known phone number. Use a call‑blocking app and report the incident to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency for further action.
