Late Thursday evening, dozens of families reported receiving urgent texts from a so‑called “mediation department” that name‑drops Margaret Wells and demands a call. The messages often include personal details to appear legit, then pressure recipients for information or money. Avoid replying or clicking any links, and never share personal data. Block the number on your device, enable carrier spam‑filtering, and forward the text to 7726 (SPAM). If you’re unsure, contact the actual agency directly using a known phone number or website. Report the incident to the FTC and your mobile carrier to help curb the scam and protect personal info.
