A debt was claimed, initially stated to be 1200, but now allegedly stands at 4200
Who’s behind the Mediation text scams?
Summary — +18559033607
Expert Opinion
Surprisingly, the same name keeps popping up across multiple reports, suggesting a coordinated scam rather than isolated mistakes. Callers using +1‑855‑903‑3607 pose as a “Mediation Department” and sprinkle legal jargon to spark panic, often inflating a $1,200 debt to $4,200. They rely on text alerts, which legitimate courts or attorneys rarely send, and they rarely answer when you call back. Protect yourself by never sharing personal details, verifying any lawsuit through official court portals, and blocking the number. If you suspect extortion, report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier.
