Earlier today, a familiar script showed up in the voicemail, with a fake private courier demanding a signature and threatening a legal report. Callers like this rely on urgency, vague paperwork, and the promise of a stop‑order to pressure you into returning the call. Never give personal details or pay money before confirming the claim with the actual court or company. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection agency. If you’re unsure, contact the supposed sender using a verified phone number or website. Staying skeptical stops the scam before it spreads.
Legitimate couriers deliver documents in person, so be wary of independant court couriers contacting from private numbers - its probaly a scamm.
A supposed process server claims to have a sealed file and threatens legal action, attempting to create a sense of urgency, but this is merely a ruse to extort money, as they work in teams, one pretending to be a server and the other a lawyer, and process servers typically do not call ahead.
A woman claiming to be a private courier left a message on my answering machine, stating that she needed to deliver a document requiring my signature and threatening to report me if I did not comply, which appears to be a scam.
