It looks like the number +18887214612 is being used by scammers posing as a mediation department to extort money from unsuspecting victims. They often claim you owe a significant amount, typically to a company like Cash Net, and use names like Margaret Wells to add a layer of authenticity. These scammers don't discriminate and will call anyone, even deceased individuals or people who have no debt. They also use tactics like contacting family, friends, and employers to create panic and pressure you into paying. If you receive such a call or text, do not respond or call back. Instead, forward the text to 7726 to help your carrier block these numbers. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
