Calls that pose as court servers or couriers usually end up being scams. Most reports describe a recorded message that claims legal papers will be delivered, often mentioning a name and a case number to add urgency. These tactics rely on fear and the illusion of official business, but legitimate agencies never demand personal info or payment by phone. If you receive such a call, let the call go to voicemail, verify the caller through official channels, and never share your Social Security number or banking details. Report the number to the FTC and consider blocking it on your device.
A suspicious call was made by an individual claiming to be an independent courier, stating that important documents were to be delivered to my residence or workplace, and that I had to respond promptly to avoid further action.
I recently got the same phone call, complete with a message, but chose not to return it
Apparently, someone expected a personal visit, which seems unrealistic.
It is puzzling that you would revisit this number and pretend to have said something meaningful
Some posts, like the one from Anthony, provide detailed warnings, whereas others are less informative and merely state an opinion without providing context
My motivation for posting stems from concern for vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, who may be susceptible to scams like this; fortunately, I know how to handle these situations, but I worry about those who do not.
A voicemail from a self-proclaimed 'Court Server' threatened to serve papers if I didn't return the call, which raised suspicions, especially since I have no ongoing legal issues, and the number is registered in Florida, despite my residence in Texas.
Is there any truth behind your post, or is it completely fabricated?
This is a obviouse scam, dont bother with it.
