Calls that claim to be from a client location service often end abruptly when you ask for details, leaving you uneasy. Most reports describe a recorded, threatening voicemail about a bogus lawsuit or debt, which matches classic scam patterns. Let the call go to voicemail, never press numbers, and avoid providing personal info. Block the number in your phone and report it to the FTC or your carrier’s spam‑filtering service. If you’ve already paid, contact your bank to dispute the charge and consider a credit freeze. Staying vigilant and using call‑blocking tools are the best defenses against these persistent scams.
