Victims describe the callers as threatening legal action and demanding payment. The pattern involves a recorded message that cites a bogus court case, a case number, and a deadline to call the 877‑805‑1707 line, often targeting family members to create pressure. These calls fit the classic legal‑threat scam used by debt‑collection outfits. Do not return the call or provide personal information; instead, block the number, report it to the FTC and your state attorney general, and let your bank know if any account details were mentioned. Keep a log of dates and voicemails in case you need to dispute a false claim.
One tactic they employ is to contact familys, friends, neigbors, and even places of employment, to create a sence of panic and embarassment, in order to scare the intended victim into paying extortion money, often using erroneous information.
I got the same message as everybody else, but they called my wifes phone, looking for me, thats weird
A message was left with a family member, containing the same suspicious content reported by others, but without identifying the caller.
This is a scam, as evident from the voicemail left, which threatened legal action if the recipient didn't respond promptly; as an attorney, I can confirm this is a tactic used to reopen old debts, and it's advisible to ignore such calls.
Calls have been received from this number claiming to be from HSBC regarding a late payment, but the legitimacy of the call is unclear.
A legal matter is allegedly being filed with my county, and I was warned that papers will be served if I dont call the 877 number by today, they claim to have a list of contacts to call, thats alot of presure
This is a friend and member calling me
The rude manner in which they contact my family members suggests scam tactics.
