Mike Kelly debt collector scam: what to watch for!
Summary — +18555400250
Expert Opinion
Never answer calls from 855‑540‑0250 unless you started the conversation. These calls consistently pose as an attorney named Mike Kelly or a representative of East Coast Financial and pressure victims into paying old or nonexistent debts. They use aggressive language, false legal threats, and frequently switch names like Jackie or Kevin to appear legitimate. Block the number, record the call details, and never share personal or financial information with unsolicited callers. Verify any claim by contacting the actual creditor or checking the attorney’s bar status independently. Report the harassment to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection agency to help stop the scam.

Upon answering, a robotic voice claimed to be from the court or a paralegal, prompting me to end the call and block the number, particularly suspicious since it was a Saturday at 4:45 pm when courts are typically closed.
