Got a call claiming they were from a law firm, man, wtf.
Process server scam alert – what to watch for!
Summary — +18652485265
Expert Opinion
Yesterday evening, a caller claimed to be a process server with an urgent legal threat, offering an 866‑number for a callback. The script pressures you to pay to “stop” a supposed lawsuit, even demanding IDs and a supervisor’s presence. Real process servers never call ahead, and courts won’t disclose sealed cases over the phone. If you receive this pitch, hang up, block the number, and verify any claim directly with the courthouse or your attorney. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier. Stay skeptical of unsolicited legal scams, and never share personal or financial info with unknown callers.

Apparently, their tactic involves claiming to have received a faxed document or complaint, stating there's a pending legal matter that requires immediate attention, and positioning themselves as 'process servers' who cannot disclose case details due to file sealing, all in an effort to create a sense of urgency and deceive individuals into calling another number, where they demand money under false pretenses.

A call was received from this number, claiming to be a processor serving papers, but this is likely a scam, as processors typically don't call beforehand
