Fake Process Server Scam – How to Spot the Lie!
Summary — +18445360242
Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in a courtroom, these calls dress up as legal notices to frighten you into paying. The script usually mentions a sealed case, a pending complaint, and a need for two IDs – all red flags. Never share personal data or money before verifying with the actual court or the alleged sender. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC and your state attorney general. Keep a log of the call details, and consider using call‑blocking apps. Remember, genuine process servers never call ahead to negotiate fees or give you a chance to “stop” a lawsuit.
