Expert Opinion

Yesterday afternoon, a puzzling call from 888‑851‑9482 showed up in several voicemail logs. The caller pretended to be a legal professional, a classic hallmark of a phone scam that leverages intimidation. Avoid sharing any personal or financial details until you independently verify the source. Block the number in your phone settings, and consider reporting it to the FTC or your carrier’s fraud department. If you suspect the call referenced a legitimate legal matter, contact the alleged firm directly using official contact information—not the number that called you. Keeping a log of the call can also help authorities track patterns.
