You wouldn't guess how many households receive the same glossy‑talking text, yet the 866‑384‑1637 number shows up in dozens of complaints. Callers pose as lawyers or debt collectors, use a maiden name or a relative’s name, and demand an immediate payment to avoid a bogus lawsuit. Never return the call or provide personal data until you’ve verified the agency through a known official channel. Block the number on your phone and report the incident to the FTC and your state attorney general. Keep a log of the texts, dates, and any file numbers – they help authorities track the scam pattern.

I got a text message from this number, adresssed to my husbands mother, with his name and some other stuff
This number sent me a threatening text message, stating I would face garnishment and fraud charges if I didnt contact them. They even went as far as to contact my mom and hung up on me three seperate times. They tried to justify their actions by citing a law that alows them to contact family members in order to collect a debt, but ultimatly they were just trying to intimidate me with threats of charges and garnishement.
