Late evening at home, a sudden voicemail claims you owe a court or face a warrant. The script usually mentions a fake process server, legal papers, or a pending lawsuit and urges you to call an 888 number within minutes. Never return the call, because the only goal is to extract payment or personal data. Verify any claim by contacting the courthouse or the alleged creditor directly using official numbers, not the one in the message. Block the caller, report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier, and educate family members about the typical urgency and identity‑theft tactics used in these scams.
Today, I received a voice message from this number, which I tried to call back, but the person on the other end had a thick accent, mispronounced my name, and seemed to be using an old name, so I'll be blocking all similar numbers.
The message I recieved was exacly the same as yours, word for word, with a diferent case number
The same message was received, seemingly word-for-word, which is concerning and suggestive of a scam.
I've recieved the same message as 'irritated', with the addition of my ex-husband's name, which I beleive is an attempt to add urgency and concern, and I was advised by my divorce lawyer to ignore it
A call was received purporting to be about my uncle, who is hearing impaired, with the caller claiming to be John and requesting a callback to 888-371-7283 within 30 minutes, which I suspect is a scam.
Following a similar call, I'm concerned about potential identity theft and credit fraud, have you experienced anything similar after they obtained your social security number?
The person who called me regardin legal papers and claims to legal filing of the papers, spoke in broken english and only used generic terms, they sayed they would call back in 15 minute when they were ready for me, but I blocked them
I received an identical call, with the same information and phone number; the caller claimed to be Ray, but his language skills suggested he was not a native speaker.
It seems you didnt bother to answer my question regarding how they scam you simply by calling them back, should I adress you as Teresa or Irritaded?
Regardless of any advice, my personal experience is what matters here. Wishing you a pleasant day!
Over the years, I've received numerous messages from this number, all of which are similar in nature
It seems they're trying to scam people by having them return calls; I'm skeptical about the legitimacy of their methods.
It appears to be a scam, as they frequently contact my husband with the same message, and the call goes straight to voicemail, also targeting our family members, so it's best not to call back.
A request for money regarding a car loan in my bankruptcy was made, with threats of court action.
they try to trick you by saying they have a fax document or a pending legal matter, but its just a ruse to get you to call another number and pay them money
They said they were sending documents to my house and I had to be there to sign them, but I think its a scam, I couldnt understand the guys name or the buisness
A fraudulent claim was made regarding a warrant for a credit card, which was later debunked by the courthouse
