Expert Opinion

Calls claiming to be a process server demanding payment for sealed legal papers are a classic scam. These callers often use urgent language, fake case numbers, and personal details scraped from public records to create pressure. Never provide money, personal ID, or confirm any information before verifying the claim. Hang up, look up the official court clerk or law firm using a trusted source, and report the number to your carrier and the FTC. If you suspect fraud, block the caller and consider filing a complaint with the state attorney general. Staying skeptical and confirming independently are the best defenses.
