Never give out personal or financial details to an unknown caller. These calls often use legal threats and fake case numbers to pressure victims into paying fees for nonexistent payday‑loan lawsuits. Verify any claim by independently contacting the alleged creditor, court, or law‑enforcement agency—use official phone numbers, not the one the caller provides. Enable call‑blocking tools and report the number to the FTC or your carrier. Keep a written record of what was said, including dates and exact wording. If you suspect a scam, file a complaint with local authorities and consider a credit freeze to protect your accounts.
