Beware of unsolicited messages that demand you verify an address or claim court papers are pending. These scam texts often masquerade as debt collectors, using personal details to create urgency and fear. Never share personal or financial information with unknown callers, and avoid clicking links or dialing back to unfamiliar numbers. Hang up, block the number, and document the encounter. Report persistent harassment to the FTC and your mobile carrier, and consider a credit freeze if you suspect identity theft. Staying calm and verifying any legitimate debt through official channels can stop extortion attempts before they escalate.
