Block the number immediately and ignore any message that claims urgency. Scammers often spoof a "Mediation Department" and use different personal names to create a false sense of legitimacy. Never share personal or financial details, even if the text cites your maiden name or recent transactions. Verify the claim by contacting the actual agency through official channels, not the numbers provided. Report the unwanted texts to your carrier and to the FTC to help curb the operation. Keep a log of the messages in case you need to dispute fraudulent claims later. Stay skeptical, protect your data, and report the abuse promptly.
Mediation dept has been attempting to reach Kelly Collins via phone, urging a callback to 855-800-4052
A call from +1 970-289-3533 claimed to be from a mitigation service, demanding a response, but I recognized it as a scam when they mentioned a cash advance and threatened to garnish my wages
The phone number 8663831637 was provided but no additional context was given.
A text message was sent from this number with my old maiden name, claimin to be Robert Whitman from Mediation Department, askin me to call 866-383-1637
Imperative to note, 866-383-1780 sends texts with a listed name, and has also contacted relatives, which seems like a ridiculous scam.
Similar experience here, some lady named carol snyder from the mediation department, contacted me from 1-970-289-3533, and wants me to call 844-977-0236
This number seems to be linked to a text bot operated by United Recovery Solutions. In response, I sent a photo of my wife's headstone to them.

A recorded message from someone claiming to be Margaret Wells from the Mediation Department requested that I contact her office, but the legitimacy of the call is uncertain.

Me and other family members recieved a text message from this number
Totally agree!
The exact same text was received by me, word for word.
There appears to be a coordinated scam effort as my family members in other states have received calls and texts asking them to contact Thomas Hughes from a mediation department at the listed number, indicating a need to apprehend these criminals.
I recieved a text asking my husband to contact Thomas Hughes from the Mediation Department at a different number, seems suspicious.
Back in October 2021, this number was associated with an electric/solar scam.
