Oddly enough, a single number can masquerade as both a courier and a debt collector, confusing anyone who answers. Callers spin a story about sealed documents or a looming bank lien, then pressure you to hand over personal info or payment. Remember, legitimate agencies never demand money before providing written proof, and they rarely call you out of the blue. If you receive such a call, hang up, do not share Social Security or banking details, and verify the claim through official channels. Block the number, report it to the FTC, and consider a call‑blocking app to keep future scams at bay.
