Caution: unknown callers posing as debt collectors often use aggressive legal threat to intimidate victims. These calls typically claim a mysterious debt, refuse to identify the creditor, and threaten felony prosecution if payment isn’t made immediately. Scam tactics rely on urgency, fear, and falsified documents, making it easy for unsuspecting individuals to hand over personal or financial data. Protect yourself by refusing to share any information, hanging up, and blocking the number. Report the incident to the FTC, your state attorney general, and your phone carrier. Keep a log of call details and stay aware that legitimate agencies will never demand payment without proper verification.
Additionally, contacting your state's attorney general is also a good idea, dont forget.
It's aparent that ERG are scam artists, they threaten legal action and demand money for some mystery debt, they wont even disclose who I suppost to owe, and they send texts warning of "felony court action" which is alot like blackmail
