Today, a voicemail was left by someone claiming to be Cody from Nationwide Legal Services, instructing me to contact 866-394-0889 regarding a purported civil complaint from an address I haven't lived at in 15 years, with a warning of impending legal action if I fail to respond.
Legal Threat Scam? How to Protect Yourself!

Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a menacing call demanding payment for a debt you never incurred. The voice claims to represent a law firm or a bank, pressures you with threats of wage garnishment, and pushes a callback number that routes back to the same scam line. Do not return the call or provide any personal information. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC and your state consumer protection agency. Review recent credit reports for unauthorized activity and consider placing a fraud alert. Keep a record of the call details; scammers often reuse scripts, so sharing the experience can help others stay vigilant.

Yesterday, a call was made to my phone from 405-529-5210, claiming to be looking for my sister and leaving a message to contact 866-394-0889 to avoid legal action, supposedly on behalf of Douglas Law Firm regarding a debt with Capitol One from 2009, a credit card my sister never had.
